Since the discovery that most nearby massive spheroids harbour a black hole of proportionate mass, it has become clear that the co-evolution of galaxy spheroids and their central black holes is a key area in observational cosmology. Quasars offer a unique window on this evolution as they are the only class of object in which both galaxy and black-hole properties can be reliably measured out to high redshifts. For several years we have been conducting a programme of HST observations in order to determine the properties of quasar host galaxies across a large range of redshifts and quasar luminosities. Our sample now contains 60 quasars, including both radio-loud and radio-quiet objects, and spans redshifts from z=0.1 out to z=2 and absolute magnitudes from MV ~ -23 to -28, Here we summarise some of the recent results from this programme.
