   ABOUT US:

On 14 January 1976, 18 avid button collectors met at 125 High Holborn, London, and resolved to form the The British Button Society.  It went from strength to strength and now has over 200 members representing 13 countries.

Enthusiasm remains undimmed and we are always keen to see new faces at our meetings. If you love buttons, you’ll feel instantly at home.  Please join us - details on our Membership page:
