The Anglo-Swedish Society, founded 1919, offers members and their guests the opportunity to enjoy several events per year, which explore the cross-over between Swedish and English culture and arts.

The Anglo-Swedish Friendship Ball of 2004 was attended by The King and Queen of Sweden, Prince Philip, Archbishop KG Hammar and other distinguished guests.

The Swedish Ambassador hosted a reception at his residence in 2006, when Music and Arts Scholars provided entertainment. There have been visits to follow the progress of the excavation of the former Bridgettine Convent at Syon Park. There are gallery visits, culinary, musical and less formal social events.

The Society's charitable side funds Swedish post-graduate students to attend the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. The Society pays for a glass and ceramics exchange programme between the Royal College of Art and Konstfack and a stipend for a student from the Restaurant School at Nyköping to spend time at Heston Blumenthal's world famous Fat Duck in Bray. Ad-hoc funding has gone to a team of English youngsters to compete in the world's largest under-14s ice-hockey tournament and towards sending 135 English Scouts and Guides to Kalix in Northern Sweden. Funds are raised from individual and corporate donations, and the Society is a registered charity in the United Kingdom.
