History of Royal Holloway University began in the nineteenth century when Bedford College and Royal Holloway College were established in 1849 and 1886 in London respectively. The founder of Bedford College was Elizabeth Jesser Reid and Royal Holloway College was Thomas Holloway. The building of Royal Holloway College was first introduced by Queen Victoria in 1886. Both the colleges came under the University of London in 1900. In 1985, Royal Holloway University of London was formed by merging these two colleges.

This was possible over 150 years of academic innovation, eminent alumni contribution and historic discoveries in two colleges. Another historic glory, Royal Holloway has in its bag is it was the first women college in the UK. Motto of Royal Holloway University of London is &lsquo;Esse quam videri&rsquo; which means &#39;to be rather than to seem&#39;.
