Founders is the original building that dominates the Royal Holloway, University of London (RHUL) campus and was inspired by the royal Château de Chambord in France. Some liken it to Hogwarts from Harry Potter, but given it's French origins it's probably more accurate to say it's Beauxbatons.

As well as the administration and some accommodation it is also home to the Main Lecture Theatre and the Crosslands bar.

Founders has also featured in numerous films and TV shows including

  • Basic Instinct 2
  • Avengers 2: Age of Ultron
  • MacGyver: Lost Treasure of Atlantis
  • Trinity
  • Downton Abbey
