GSM London (formerly Greenwich School of Management (GSoM)) was a private provider of higher education based in Greenwich, south-east London, and Greenford, west London. Founded in 1973,[4] it offered business-specific courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels alongside other specialist training, and catered to a large number of international students. As of 2019, GSM London had educated over 20,000 students.[5] It was owned by the private equity firm Sovereign Capital.[6]

On 30 July 2019, GSM London was placed into administration,[7] and ceased all teaching and student support services by the end of November 2019.[8]
