Shareholders of Imperial College London Limited
Companies House records a single disclosed shareholder for Imperial College London Limited. The last full shareholder list was filed with the annual return made up to 19 June 2014 (filed 26 June 2014), alongside a Statement of Capital dated 26 June 2014 recording one ordinary share of GBP 1.00 in issue. That share was held in full (100%) by Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine. Subsequent confirmation statements, including those made up to 19 June 2021 and 19 June 2022, recorded no changes to shareholder information, indicating the holding remained unchanged through the company’s final years of registration. The most recent confirmed position is dated 19 June 2022 (confirmation statement filed 29 June 2022), shortly before the company entered voluntary strike-off.
Data availability
Shareholder disclosure for this company is Full: a single shareholder and its 100% holding are confirmed via an official Companies House filing. The UK Persons with Significant Control (PSC) register additionally records a statement, filed 19 June 2017, that there is no registrable person or registrable relevant legal entity with significant control — consistent with the sole shareholder being a chartered corporation rather than an individual, so no individual ultimate beneficial owner is identified for this company.

Nationality is officially disclosed for the individual officers on record (all disclosed as British) but does not apply to the two corporate nominee officers, Dechert Nominees Limited and Dechert Secretaries Limited, which are corporate entities rather than natural persons and are not attributed a nationality here.

Group Structure
Group structure of Imperial College London Limited
Companies House shareholder filings identify a verified immediate parent for Imperial College London Limited: Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, recorded as holder of the company’s entire issued share capital (one ordinary share of GBP 1.00, per the Statement of Capital filed 26 June 2014, unchanged through confirmation statements to 19 June 2022). Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine is a corporation established by Royal Charter — the legal corporate name of the university known as Imperial College London — rather than a company registered at Companies House, so no company registration number applies to it in this register. No further corporate ownership chain above this parent, and no direct or indirect subsidiaries of Imperial College London Limited itself, were identified in the sources reviewed. The company’s PSC statement (filed 19 June 2017) confirms no individual person with significant control was registrable.
