The King George V class was the result of a design process that began in 1928. Under the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922, a "holiday" from building capital ships was placed in force through 1931. The battleships of the British Navy consisted of only those old battleships that had been kept after the end of World War I, plus the two new but slow Nelson-class battleships. In 1928, the Royal Navy started considering the requirements for the warships that it expected to start building in 1931. The First London Naval Treaty of 1930 extended the "shipbuilding holiday" through 1937.

In 1934 the British started to design a new class of battleships to be laid down in 1936. The design of the King George V class battleships began in the period of uncertainty when the inter-war naval treaties were coming to an end, but when there was no clear direction on the future for naval arms limitation. The Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 limited all of the number, displacement, and armaments of warships built following its ratification, and this was extended by the First London Naval Treaty but these treaties were due to expire in 1936.
