Founded in 2013 by Herbert I. London, the London Center is a boutique think-tank created to engage in research and advise on key policy issues of national security, international relations, energy and risk analysis. The Center challenges conventional wisdom where appropriate, adds texture to the current deliberations on policy issues and builds support for positions that further the national interest and the interest of key allies.

Our founder, Dr. Herb London, created the center bearing his name and we intend to carry that legacy into the future. For some, this may be a re-introduction to who we are and what we stand for, but for others I would like to bring you into the fold for the first time.

LCPR was created to advise, support and facilitate the creation and implementation of effective policies of the U.S. government and its allies within our three core mission areas: Academic, Legislative and National Security Strategy.

The London Center has also increased its outreach through an expanding media presence, live and virtual events, along with our growing Thought to Action video and podcast network, which features insights from leaders at the London Center and across the globe.

As we move forward to expand and work towards Herb’s vision, the London Center will need your help to continue these efforts. Though our founder passed away in 2018 we are asking for your support to honor his memory and the London Center by helping celebrate, what would have been, his 82^ndbirthday.

On behalf of his friends and family would you consider lighting one of Herb’s 82 candles on a special cake in his honor? Join others, as the Ritorto family has, in taking part. 

For a $1,000, tax-deductible, donation to the London Center for Policy research your name, or company name, will be attached to his virtual cake for the rest of the year. Once all candles are “lit” we will be able to celebrate a job well-done and ensure the legacy the London Center stands for will shine bright as we continue into a new year.

Thank you for your support. 

Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer

President - London Center for Policy Research
