About

Founded in 2000 as London's first dedicated bio-incubator and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Royal Veterinary College, LBIC offers ~52,000 sq ft of fully fitted CL2 lab and office space across four buildings in Camden's Knowledge Quarter and at RVC's Hawkshead campus. Its tiered ladder — Amoroso (80–900 sq ft entry level), McFadyean (250–1,100 sq ft startup), Apex (840–3,701 sq ft scale-up suites with 60:40 lab/office split), and CVRM (specialist vaccine and cell therapy labs) — lets a company grow from a single bench to a 3,700 sq ft suite without leaving the network. All-inclusive pricing with a 30-day notice period and 228 alumni companies that have collectively raised £2.47bn make it one of the most founder-friendly footholds in central London.
