Welcome
We are marking 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, a pivotal moment in the newly formed nation of the United States of America and the United Kingdom that shaped the transatlantic relationship and influenced global history.
What is America 250 UK?
Join us as we come together to commemorate 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
During 2026, various organizations with a shared transatlantic interest are collaborating to reflect on the enduring history of the transatlantic relationship, what we have learned, and what the next 250 years may hold.
