We are honored to welcome Swaine as the newest Corporate Member of BABC LA.
Since 1750, Swaine has represented the pinnacle of British luxury craftsmanship, preserving generations of artisanal excellence while continuing to shape modern refinement. As the House behind Swaine & Adeney leather goods, Brigg Umbrellas, and Herbert Johnson Hatters, every piece reflects a legacy of timeless design, heritage, and master craftsmanship handcrafted in the heart of London.
We are excited to celebrate this historic milestone with the Grand Opening of Swaine Los Angeles at the Beverly Center — marking the West Coast arrival of Great Britain’s oldest luxury house.
Guests will experience an evening of British heritage and transatlantic elegance alongside business leaders, creatives, tastemakers, and members of the BABC LA community. From rare handcrafted leather goods to iconic umbrellas and distinguished millinery, the evening will showcase the artistry and tradition that have defined Swaine for over 275 years.
We look forward to building a lasting partnership and celebrating the continued connection between British excellence and Los Angeles culture.

BABC Los Angeles, in partnership with Sydenham Clinic, hosted an intimate evening centered on one question: how do we actually live better, longer?
At the heart of the conversation, two women unpacked the true value of Sydenham Clinic—breaking down how personalized, data-driven care is redefining longevity. Not surface-level wellness. Not trends. But a deeper, more intentional approach to optimizing quality of life through advanced diagnostics and preventive medicine.
Set inside one of the city’s most discreet concierge clinics, the evening invited guests to listen, learn, and rethink what it means to take ownership of their health.
Because when the right conversation happens in the right room, it doesn’t just inform you—it shifts you.

An evening where longevity met intention.
Last night in Beverly Hills, we stepped inside one of the city’s most discreet, members-only concierge clinics for a private gathering designed not to build; but to better understand how to live well, longer.
In partnership with Sydenham Clinic, BABC Los Angeles curated an intimate experience centered on education, access, and elevated wellness. Sydenham is known for its highly personalized, data-driven approach to longevity, where advanced diagnostics, preventive medicine, and bespoke treatment plans come together to optimize quality of life at every stage.
From a warm welcome reception to a deeply engaging conversation on next-generation longevity, the evening offered something rare: clarity. Not trends. Not guesswork. But real insight into what it means to take ownership of your health with precision and intention.
Surrounded by a community that values growth from the inside out, guests experienced a new standard. One where longevity is not just about adding years, but upgrading how those years are lived.
Because the real luxury is living well.

An unforgettable evening of transatlantic leadership and sustainable vision. 🌍✨
On February 25th, the British American Business Council Los Angeles gathered sustainability pioneers at the stunning Florim Showroom in West Hollywood for a powerful European Panel Discussion: Sustainability Engagements That Change the World.
In collaboration with the French-American Chamber of Commerce, German American Association in Southern California, and Italy-America Chamber of Commerce West, the evening brought together distinguished voices from France, Germany, Italy, and California to explore how design, mobility, fashion, and public policy are reshaping global business for a greener future.
From forward-thinking dialogue to an intimate, high-level networking reception, this joint-chamber gathering exemplified the power of European-American partnership in driving real, measurable impact.
The conversations sparked here won’t stay in the showroom — they’ll echo through boardrooms, policies, and innovations shaping tomorrow. ♻️🌱

Redefine Your Global Strategy 🌍
On February 19th, the British American Business Council Los Angeles convened leaders, investors, and global entrepreneurs in Santa Monica for The 2026 Global Mobility Outlook — an elevated dialogue at the intersection of immigration policy, wealth strategy, and international expansion.
In exclusive partnership with Withum and Wolfsdorf Immigration, this high-level forum delivered critical insights into:

• Transatlantic market trends shaping the London–LA corridor
• 2026 visa reforms, H1B timelines, and compliance shifts
• Cross-border tax strategy and wealth structuring for the modern global citizen
Hosted at the contemporary offices of Communify, the evening fostered premier connections and strategic dialogue at a pivotal moment for UK–US relations.
With expert perspectives from Connor Southwell, Richard Yemm, James Cummings of London & Partners, and moderated by Andrew Lewis, President of BABC LA — this was more than a panel. It was a strategic recalibration for 2026 and beyond.
