Anatomy classes were first taught in the Medical Department of King's from 1831. This department became the Faculty of Medicine in 1892, and from 1905 was known as the Medical Division, which formed part of the Faculty of Science. The Faculty of Medical Science was created in 1921 and two years later the Department of Anatomy was formed within it. Anatomy and Anthropology were also taught under the Faculty of Natural Science. After the merger of King's College School of Medicine and Dentistry with King's College Medical School in 1983 the Faculty of Medical Science became known as the Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences. From 1985 the Anatomy Department was called Anatomy and Human Biology, and in 1989 it became part of the Biomedical Sciences Division under the School of Life, Basic Medical and Health Sciences. The department was known as the Division of Anatomy, Cell and Human Biology, and is part of the GKT (Guy's, King's and St Thomas') School of Biomedical Sciences formed in 1998 from the Biomedical Sciences and the Basic Medical Sciences Divisions at UMDS (United Dental and Medical Schools).

The Centre for Defence Studies was established at the University of London with a grant from the Ministry of Defence in 1990. It is an Associate Member of the School of Advanced Studies of the University of London and is based at King's College London. The purpose of the Centre is to act as a focus for research on a wide range of defence and security issues and to facilitate links between academia and the defence establishment. It does this by conducting its own research, commissioning research from outside, and by organising working groups, conferences and seminars to draw together the work of academic and policy specialists on a range of subjects. The research at the Centre for Defence Studies concentrates on five main areas covering British defence policy, European security, Mediterranean security, technology and arms control and regional security. Centre for Defence Studies publications have included Brassey's Defence Yearbook, London Defence Studies, and Bulletin of Arms Control.
