Gresham College occupied the house of Sir Thomas Gresham, in Bishopsgate Street, from 1596, when Lady Gresham, Sir Thomas’s widow, died. The meeting which Pepys attended [23 January 1660/61, PG] was an early one of the Royal Society, which was incorporated by royal charter in 1663.

From Newton's Apple P24, by Peter Aughton :
" The Ballad of Gresham Colledge" the CamOx Rival:
The Colledge, Gresham, shall hereafter
...Be the whole world's Universitie,
Oxford and Cambridge are our Laughter;
...Their learning is but Pedantry.
Those Colleagues doe assure us,
...Aristole's an Asse to Epicurus.
The Noble learned Corporation
Not for itselfe is thus combyn'd
But for the publique good oth' Nation
And general benefit of Mankynd.
These are not men of commmon mould;
They covet fame contemn gold
