The Queen's Tower is situated in the South Kensington Campus of Imperial College London, England, just to the north of Imperial College Road. It is 87 metres (287 ft) tall with a copper-covered dome at its top.

Imperial College Road is a tree-lined road in South Kensington, London, England. It runs east–west with Queen's Gate to the west and Exhibition Road to the east. The road forms part of the boundary between Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea to the south and the City of Westminster to the north. It lies at the heart of the area known as Albertopolis, with a number of museums, cultural buildings and educational institutions in the area, a legacy of the Great Exhibition of 1851 held in Hyde Park to the north and promoted by Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria. Formerly known as Imperial Institute Road, the road now takes its name from Imperial College London, on whose campus it is located. The Queen's Tower (surrounded by the Queen's Lawn adjacent to Imperial College Road) dominates the view to the north halfway along the road, along with the college's Central Library. To the south are the Department of Chemistry of Imperial College, the Sir Alexander Fleming Building, and the Science Museum. Beyond these buildings is the Natural History Museum.

Albertopolis is the nickname given to the area centred on Exhibition Road in London, named after Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria. It contains many educational and cultural sites. It is in South Kensington, split between the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and the City of Westminster (the border running along Imperial College Road), and the area bordered by Cromwell Road to the south and Kensington Road to the north.

The Queen's Lawn is a green lawned area situated at the centre of Imperial College London's South Kensington campus, next to the Queen's Tower and immediately to the north of Imperial College Road. It provides an open space of 1,600 sq metres, and is surrounded by the Central Library, and the Sherfield administration, Chemistry, and Skempton buildings. It is often the site of college events, including student bands, fairs, and balls, as well as student activism.In April 2006, the Imperial College student newspaper Felix reported that the college was seeking permission of Westminster City Council to develop part of the lawn into a three-storey modular building, however this has not come to pass. A weekly farmer's market is held on Tuesdays, and Queen's Lawn was also the site of a world record attempt for the largest jelly mosaic.

The Data Science Institute is a research institute at the Imperial College London founded in May 2014.
