Welcome!
Looking for an Anglo-Dutch Club? For an association of Britons and Nederlanders together, in London, the Home Counties, in fact elsewhere in the UK? Seek no further!
For over 85 years the Anglo-Netherlands Society has worked to develop goodwill and understanding between the peoples of the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. The Society has as its purpose the promotion of the social, artistic, literary, educational, scientific and other interests that the Dutch and the British have in common. It is a non-party-political, non-profit making organisation with a national remit, based in London, and run by voluntary effort. The Society's events are conducted in English.
The Anglo-Netherlands Society reaches its members by publishing a quarterly Newsletter, by organising social functions and by arranging visits to exhibitions, concerts, country houses and other places of interest in Britain. It arranges occasional visits to or from the Netherlands, often in co-operation with its Dutch counterpart, the Genootschap Nederland-Engeland.
A number of major companies with business interests in the UK and the Netherlands, among them ABN-Amro Bank, ING Bank, Reed Elsevier and in particular the Royal Netherlands Embassy and companies Shell and Unilever, have over many years given generous support.
The Society was founded in June 1920 as the Anglo-Batavian Society and adopted its present name in 1944. Throughout its history it has enjoyed the support of the Royal Families of both the United Kingdom and the Netherlands and has benefited greatly from the interest and hospitality of successive Netherlands Ambassadors in London. HRH Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands has been Patron of the Society from 1941 until his death in December 2004.
