History
The College was founded in 1936 and has been in operation ever since. Its original site was bombed during World War Two and the naturopathic pioneer, Stanley Lief, founder of Champneys Spa, donated a house in London’s Hampstead as a new campus. This building, which is now named Frazer House and is Grade II-listed, is still the core of the BCOM campus. The College has expanded rapidly in the last 15 years, completing a state-of-the-art extension, including clinic rooms, lecturing suite, canteen and student common area, and occupying a second major building, Lief House, as a teaching, research and administration base. Lief House is also the site of the College’s extensive research facilities.
