In 1926, the colleges came together in Heythrop Hall, Oxfordshire, then moved to London in 1970. It became a college of the University in 1971, and moved to its current Kensington location in 1993. The College started admitting non-Jesuit students in the 1960s. However it remains largely Jesuit-funded and led. The college Principal is always a Jesuit priest. It also retains a strongly Roman Catholic ethos.
The college library houses an enormous collection of early theological texts, mostly held off site. The college also runs the Heythrop Journal and hosts a Centre for Christianity and Interreligious Dialogue.
