The Abbey DLD Colleges Group is a group of independent sixth form colleges based in the United Kingdom, in London, Manchester, and Cambridge.[1][2] These colleges are operated by the Alpha Plus Group and have new campuses in both London and Cambridge.
The oldest college within the group is Davies Laing and Dick College (DLD), which was established in 1931. After 10 years located in Marylebone, the College merged with its younger sister Abbey College and moved in 2015 to a new facility in Lambeth. DLD College London[3] has 21st century teaching facilities and a secure, on-site student Boarding House.[citation needed]
