The Belgian Ball is organised by the Anglo-Belgian Club with the support of the Anglo-Belgian Society and the Belgian-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce in Great-Britain.

The Ball is organised to the benefit of the Royal Belgian Benevolent Society, under the patronage of H.E. the Ambassador of Belgium and Mrs Johan Verbeke.

The origins of the Anglo-Belgian Club date back to 1942 when the Belgian Government in London set up the Belgian Institute on Belgrave Square to promote the knowledge of Belgium, its people,
its arts and its institutions.

After the war the Anglo-Belgian Club was established to take up and pursue the activities of the Institute and it became a well-known Anglo-Belgian base in London. At the end of the lease on the Belgrave Square house in 1978, the Club was able to associate with the Royal Thames Yacht Club, established in 1775, in Knightsbridge.

On 1 July 2010, the Anglo-Belgian Club moved to its current Club House near Trafalgar Square to accommodate the 21st century needs of its members including four-star bedrooms and meeting rooms.

The Anglo-Belgian Club participates every year at Royal Ascot, the Torch Kindling Ceremony at Westminster Abbey, the Belgian Parade
and Ceremony at the Cenotaph in Whitehall and organises the Belgian Ball, the annual sailing weekend to Belgium and many other business and cultural events during the year.
