Proud history For 26 years the Royal Anglo-Belgium Club has based itself at the Royal Thames Yacht Club 60 Knightsbridge HQ. It is a partnership that has served both very well over the years, giving the RAB Club a world class base from which to run it's operations. The origins of the club These date back to 1942 when the Belgian Government in London set up the Belgian Institute in Belgrave Square to propagate 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 prestigious Royal Thames Yacht Club, established in 1775, in their fine premises in Knightsbridge. The Royal Thames Yacht Club has 1500 members and the Anglo-Belgian Club just over 600. The Club is situated in a unique location overlooking Hyde Park.
