London School of Economics was established in 1895. The four Socialists Beatrice and Sidney Webb, Graham Wallas and George Bernard Shaw decided to create a school for the improvement of the society. The idea was to create an institution which will perform research and study poverty analytically and profoundly and eventually which will help in the development and improvement of the society.  The four Fabians instigated this noble idea over a breakfast party at Borough farm, near Milford, Surrey, on 4th August 1894. Henry Hunt Hutchinson gifted a sum of about £20,000 to the Fabian Society in order to establish a world class university. Hutchinson was deeply moved by the idea of creating LSE for the improvement of the society.

LSE commenced its first lectures in October 1895 in rooms of John Street, later it was moved to 10 Adelphi Terrace. In 1900, the newly established London University recognized LSE as an institution which specializes in Economics. In 1901, LSE announced its first degrees BSc (Econ) and DSc (Econ). These degrees were also the first university degrees which were dedicated to social sciences. Along with Hutchinson, many other donors came forward to develop the school rapidly and with the help of these donations, on May 1920 King George V laid the foundation of the Old Building of the school at Clare Market and Houghton Street, off the Aldwych. <ref>[http://www2.lse.ac.uk/aboutLSE/lseHistory.aspx lse.ac.uk]history</ref>
