📜 The History of London's Golden Triangle
The "Godless Scum of Gower Street" (UCL) vs. "King's" rivalry dates back to the 1820s. Imperial College broke away to focus purely on science and engineering, rising to rival MIT, while LSE dominates economics and politics globally. Together, they form a dense cluster of intellectual firepower in central London.
