Founded in 1895 [e.g George Bernard SHAW Library, 6th floor of Old Building, Concent Hall] by a group of Fabian Socialists ‘to make the world a better place on the basis of empirical research’ Its ‘socialist flavour’ is long evaporated; now politically diverse, but committed to impact in the world.
