- 1805 - Battle of Trafalgar (TNG: "Elementary, Dear Data", "The Best of Both Worlds, Part I" & Star Trek: Generations)
- 2025 - Northern Ireland, until that time a part of the UK, officially reunified with the Republic of Ireland. (TNG: "The High Ground")
- 2135 - The ancient and ceremonial British monarchy probably survives at least until this date, when the starship HMS (Her/His Majesty's Ship) New Zealand is launched.
- It is not positively established that this ship is in fact British, but given its name (a former British colony), as well as the recent existence of a HMS Lord Nelson named for a British naval hero, that was probably the intent.
In the Julian Bashir, Secret Agent holoprogram Julian Bashir was a secret agent working for Great Britain. (DS9: "Our Man Bashir")
Some of the nation's towns and cities survived the Third World War, Cambridge remaining a center of learning excellence well into the 24th century. (TNG: "All Good Things...")
