The study of Contemporary British History goes back to the 1960s, and was consolidated with the establishment of the Institute of Contemporary British History in 1985 by (Sir) Anthony Seldon and (Lord) Peter Hennessy. The Institute moved to King’s College London in 2010, and the new King’s Contemporary British History builds on this by creating a larger and more diverse enterprise, building on that distinguished tradition.

Our board members are: Andrew Blick, Ruth Craggs, David Edgerton, Aimée Fox, Christina Goulter, George Legg, Joe Maiolo, Richard Vinen, Patrick Wright FBA.
