Canning House, 2 Belgrave Square, London, SW1X 8PJ, England

Canning House is the home of the Hispanic and Luso Brazilian Council, a non-political, non-profitmaking organisation that was founded in 1943 to stimulate understanding between Britain, Spain, Portugal and Latin America.

Canning House represents a unique combination of business, educational and cultural interests which share a belief in the growing importance of the Spanish and Portugese speaking world, acting as a forum for politicians, businesspeople, academics and artists with the common aim of promoting links between the UK, Spain, Portugal and Latin America.

Canning House Library holds the largest collection in the UK on the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries that is available to the general public.
