RSA House is the central London home of The Royal Society of Arts, the original home of creativity for the common good and a place where people have been coming together around ideas for more than 250 years.
Today, our 13 event spaces host everything from conferences, talks and product launches to awards, dinners, weddings and celebrations. From the Great Room to the Vaults, each has its own character, with contemporary production, thoughtful food and a team that knows how to bring an event together.
Our hospitality is delivered in partnership with Company of Cooks, with menus built around seasonal ingredients, generous food and a belief that what’s on the table should be as considered as everything happening around it.
Most importantly, holding an event here means becoming part of something bigger. Income generated through RSA House supports the charitable work of The Royal Society of Arts and its mission to enable people, places and the planet to flourish.
Bring your people. Bring your ideas. Imagine what we can do.
The Royal Society is the world's oldest scientific academy in continuous existence, and has been at the forefront of enquiry and discovery since its foundation in 1660.
The backbone of the Society is its Fellowship of the most eminent scientists of the day, elected by peer review for life and entitled to use FRS after their name. There are currently more than 60 Nobel Laureates amongst the Society's approximately 1400 Fellows and Foreign Members.
Throughout its history, the Society has promoted excellence in science through its Fellowship and Foreign Membership, which has included Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Ernest Rutherford, Albert Einstein, Dorothy Hodgkin, Francis Crick, James Watson and Stephen Hawking.
The Society is independent of government, as it has been throughout its existence, by virtue of its Royal Charters. In 1663, The Royal Society of London for the Improvement of Natural Knowledge was granted its Arms and adopted the motto "Nullius in verba", an expression of its enduring commitment to empirical evidence as the basis of knowledge about the natural world.
The Society's activities include influencing science and education policy, funding leading researchers, publishing journals that span all the sciences and the history of science, and the provision of science communication activities for a variety of public audiences.
