Welcome to the Anglo-Turkish Society
The Anglo-Turkish Society was founded in 1953 with the object of strengthening and developing the historical ties of friendship and understanding between the peoples of Britain and Turkey.
Our Events programme comes out usually three times a year. The Society, which at present has some 400 members, provides an opportunity for all those interested in Turkey, visitors from Turkey, Turkish residents in the UK and British people who have visited or lived in Turkey to meet for cultural and social activities. Activities include lectures on a variety of subjects. The members of all ages enjoy meeting at the functions and we should be very pleased to welcome you among us. You will receive a warm, friendly welcome.
The Anglo-Turkish Society welcomes speakers from a wide background to speak to our members in London on topics covering the culture, history, archaeology and contemporary issues of Turkey and Anglo-Turkish relations. We are happy to set a programme to fit in with the schedules of academics, scholars and authors, including those on short visits to London. Please contact us to see if your topic of a lecture fits in with our vision to inform, and celebrate this shared legacy.
