Marloes Road is a street in the Kensington area of London, England. It runs roughly south to north, from a T-junction with Cromwell Road to Cheniston Gardens and Abingdon Villas. It has junctions with (inter alia) Lexham Gardens, Stratford Road and Scarsdale Villas. The southern part was originally called Barrow's Walk, and Marloes Road itself has a "somewhat confusing history".St Mary Abbots Hospital was built there in 1871 and operated as a hospital until its demolition in 1992, when it was replaced with blocks of flats, which form part of the Kensington Green private gated-community on eight acres of land. In 1939, the soldier, literary agent and publisher Neville Armstrong and his wife were living at no. 17. No. 39 is home to the Embassy of Senegal, London.

Heythrop College, University of London

Heythrop College, University of London, was a constituent college of the University of London between 1971 and 2018, last located in Kensington Square, London. It comprised the university's specialist faculties of philosophy and theology with social sciences, offering undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses and five specialist institutes and centres to promote research. It had a close affiliation with the Roman Catholic Church, through the British Province of the Society of Jesus whose scholarly tradition went back to a 1614 exiled foundation in Belgium and whose extensive library collections it housed. While maintaining its denominational links and ethos the college welcomed all faiths and perspectives, women as well as men.Through Heythrop's close links with the Jesuits, it also served as the London centre for Fordham University, a Jesuit university in the United States. Other external groups, including A Call To Action (ACTA, British Catholic Association), also used meeting facilities on the site. Following unsuccessful negotiations with St Mary's University, Twickenham, another British university, and amid some controversy, in June 2015 the college's governing body decided that the college would cease to be an independent constituent of the University of London, in 2018. It formally terminated operations and left the University of London on 31 January 2019. It was the first significant UK higher education institution to completely close permanently (not including mergers and name changes) since the dissolution of the original University of Northampton in 1265.
