The Anglo-Belgian Club
Welcome to the Anglo-Belgian Club
a place where
like-minded people can meet and promote
the friendship between Great Britain and the
Benelux countries.
The club is an ideal place to stay or visit for members travelling to
London and for members living and/or working in the UK and their guests.
Find out more about our facilities and becoming a member.
We are based at our four star Club House, located at 8 Northumberland Avenue adjacent to Trafalgar Square, which started life as the famous 500 bedroom 'Victoria Hotel', which opened in 1877.
In 2006 the building was restored and behind the beautiful exterior you will find a modern Club with a splendid design with high ceilings and a stunning marble gallery and entrance hall . The club has still kept many historical features such as the original Victorian ballroom seating 250 guests which has been restored to its former glory.
The Club's President is H.R.H. Prince Philippe of Belgium.

Events
First Tuesday Drinks
Every month, the Club organises the First Tuesday Drinks where ABC members and their guests meet up for an informal drink in the Club's Gallery. Usually the event is attended by a guest of honour who links our countries in his or her capacity such as the Belgian Ambassador. This creates a unique opportunity for networking with the wider Anglo-Belgian community and allows you to meet interesting people from different backgrounds.
In addition the Club is regularly organises social events for the members including beer and wine tastings, museum visits and for the first time this year, a day at the Ascot races in June. Please review the calendar for the complete list of events.
Why not host your own event, the stunning Victorian Ballroom or the Old Billiard Room are both available for hire.
