Welcome to our website

The Anglo-Austrian Society actively promotes social and cultural exchange and dialogue between the United Kingdom and Austria.

Our aim is to strengthen Austro-British relations in all aspects of public and cultural life.

We are an independent registered charity formed of people from many different backgrounds. The Society enjoys the support of the governments of both Austria and the United Kingdom.

The Anglo-Austrian Society was founded in 1944 in London.

Few countries have so rich an historical heritage as Austria. In Vienna, Austria’s capital on the Danube, once the centre of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and thus a political, economic and cultural centre throughout history, visitors can enjoy not only its museums, art galleries and palaces but also traditional cafés and restaurants. These remain a vibrant part of the contemporary scene here, and in many other towns and cities throughout Austria.
