history
Davies, Laing and Dick (or DLD as it’s now known) was founded in 1931 to provide tutoring for Oxbridge and Colonial Service entrance exams. Though many changes in education have taken place in the numerous decades that followed, our vision and fundamental aim of helping individual students to achieve their academic potential has remained the same. The origins of this vision took root with the founding of Davies, Laing and Dick in 1931 after the meeting of three tutors: Mr. Vernon Davies (BA), Mr. A G Laing (BSc) and Mr. J Bernard Dick (MA), but can be traced back further to the years after 1924 when Mr. Davies taught at Fernley, Maidenhead, a residential educational institution run by Mr. Lucian Oldershaw (MA JP).
In 1927, Mr. Laing joined Fernley as a tutor and when Mr. Davies took over the running of the London branch in 1929, Mr. Laing joined him as a Partner, and it became known as Davies and Laing. Lancaster Street was where Mr. Dick joined as a tutor and was offered a partnership, joining Mr. Laing and Mr. Davies (Senior Partner), and thus Davies, Laing and Dick were established at 34 Gloucester Terrace, Hyde Park, London.

accommodation
At DLD College London, all students are enrolled into a House system and allocated to one of our five Houses based on the London Underground. Through joining a House during their time at school, each student becomes part of a small community within the larger community, enabling them to make friends across the school and to develop soft skills of team work, collaboration and leadership. They earn House Points by competing in House competitions and activities which creates a great atmosphere of drive and determination within the students.
House competitions and activities take place regularly throughout the school year, run by our Housemasters and Housemistresses. These can include anything from House Football and House Table Tennis, to the Spelling Bee and House Trips.
