context_page_description: London South Bank University is a public university in Elephant and Castle, London. It is based in the London Borough of Southwark, near the South Bank of the River Thames, from which it takes its name. Founded in 1892 as the Borough Polytechnic Institute, it achieved university status in 1992.
  In September 2003, the university underwent its most recent name change to become London South Bank University and has since opened several new centres including the School of Health and Social Care, the Centre for Efficient and Renewable Energy in Buildings, a new Student Centre, an Enterprise Centre, and a new media centre Elephant Studios. The university has 17,125 students and 1,700 staff.
  In November 2016, the university was named the Entrepreneurial University of the Year at the Times Higher Education Awards. In the inaugural 2017 Teaching Excellence Framework, London South Bank University was awarded a Silver rating.

London's South Bank is a short tube or bus journey away from Waterloo or London Bridge.  To the north of the campus is Borough Road, where the main entrance is situated and the original building of the Borough Polytechnic Institute. To the west is London Road and to the east is Southwark Bridge Road. At the northwest corner is St George's Circus.
  Schiller International University had a campus in the Technopark Building on the London South Bank University property. In August 2011 Schiller stated that it was closing its London campus and will not start the Autumn 2011 semester there, due to stricter student visa requirements in the United Kingdom.
  There is a smaller satellite campus in east London: at Havering (LSBU at Havering), diagonally opposite Harold Wood station.
