Centimetres were introduced to Britain as part of the metric system, which was officially adopted in the country in the 1960s. However, the metric system had been in use in various forms since the late 19th century, especially in scientific contexts. The widespread adoption of centimetres and other metric measurements in everyday use gained momentum in the 1970s and 1980s as part of a broader movement to standardize measurements.
