About BUSC
The British United Services Club, established in 1935, welcomes individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those who have not served in the military, to become members. Rooted in camaraderie among British and Commonwealth citizens, and allied nations, the club was founded by Hollywood elites, former British officers, members of the British diplomatic corps, and prominent Southern California residents.
Our gatherings, held quarterly on the fourth Wednesday, take place at the Altadena Town & Country Club. Adhering to our cherished mess protocol, gentlemen are invited to don military mess dress, tuxedo with black tie, or formal highland attire, accompanied by appropriate miniature medals. For our esteemed ladies, military mess dress or other elegant evening attire is encouraged.
Each meeting is a delightful dinner affair, enriched with engaging speakers. Join us as we honor tradition, forge friendships, and celebrate our shared heritage at the British United Services Club.
“Neither the sure prevention of war, nor the continuous rise of world organization will be gained without what I have called the fraternal association of the English-speaking peoples ...a special relation-ship between the British Commonwealth and Empire and the United States.“
Winston Churchill
