Which London university college did Mahatma Gandhi attend while studying law in 1888?

Mahatma Gandhi attended University College London while studying law in 1888.

Gandhi travelled to England in September 1888 to study law and qualify for the legal profession. He enrolled at University College London, where he studied for the examinations of the Inner Temple. His time in London exposed him to British society, religious ideas, ethical debates, and vegetarian organizations.

Gandhi joined the Inner Temple, one of London’s Inns of Court, and was called to the bar in 1891. University College London was therefore part of his education, while the Inner Temple was the institution connected with his professional legal qualification.

These two details are often confused. Gandhi did not study law at Oxford or Cambridge, and the Inner Temple was not a university college. His London years helped shape his interests, but his later political philosophy developed through experience in South Africa and India.
