The Anglo-Belgian Society

The Society’s purpose is to maintain and develop on a personal level the friendship which has always existed between the British and Belgian people, and to commemorate the brotherhood in arms which arose from their mutual loyalty to the treaty of 1839 and its counterpart in Belgium is The Royal Belgo-British Union.

The Society is at the heart of the Anglo-Belgian community and maintains close relationships with The Belgian Embassy and The Belgian Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce.

The Society’s Life
