Anglo-Hellenic League
About Anglo-Hellenic League
Founded in the aftermath of the 1912-13 Balkan Wars, the Anglo-Hellenic League emerged in London to counter anti-Greek propaganda and build genuine friendship between Britons and Greeks. This London-based organization has demonstrated unwavering commitment to humanitarian and cultural causes throughout its history, responding to crises and supporting communities in need. During World War II, the League mobilized to raise funds for Greece's starving population and naval forces, while in the post-war years extended assistance to children's homes, hospitals, and earthquake-ravaged villages across Greece and the Ionian Islands. The organization's dedication to cultural preservation is exemplified by its successful 1979-80 campaign raising over £80,000 for the Save the Acropolis Appeal. For nearly three decades, the Anglo-Hellenic League published The Anglo-Hellenic Review, an important twice-yearly journal featuring scholarly articles, comprehensive book reviews, and reports on contemporary Hellenic activities. Today, the League continues its mission of promoting Anglo-Greek understanding through cultural events, educational programs, and recognition of excellence in Hellenic studies. Operating as a registered charity with deep historical roots in London, the organization remains strictly apolitical while enjoying the support of royal patrons and diplomatic representatives from both nations. The Anglo-Hellenic League represents a living bridge between two cultures, built on decades of meaningful engagement, shared values, and genuine commitment to mutual understanding and support.
