After 19 consecutive years at Stamford Bridge the championships were held at White City Stadium for the first time. The Championships consisted of 24 events and covered two days of competition.

A new event was introduced over 6 miles. The 4 miles event was reduced in distance to 3 miles and the marathon was held from Windsor to White City.
