The traditional Georgian architecture blends effortlessly with contemporary spaces, creating a unique and versatile backdrop for your next event. Boasting a 420-seat auditorium ideal for larger-scale conferences & presentations, the Royal Institution can also offer further spaces suitable for smaller forums, private dining, seminars, receptions and parties.
The Royal Institution is an independent charity dedicated to connecting people with science & innovation. All revenue generated from venue hire is donated back into our charity.
Working with our in-house catering supplier, Searcys, we have created a range of innovative and delicious menus to suit all occasions with a focus on providing modern, British & sustainable hospitality.
The Library overlooks Albemarle Street and contains a fascinating collection of scientific books - it is one of our most popular spaces at the RIGB. The room has an abundance of character from the books to the mirror over the fireplace which has hung there since 1804. It is ideal for board meetings, training sessions, presentations, receptions, buffet lunches and formal dinners.

Christopher Sharp
September 2024It's short, maybe 1 hour, but a really excellent place for those interested in the origins of modern scientific analysis techniques. Michael Faraday's work is here, among other major scientists. They also apparently do special lectures for children around the holiday season. Do not that they're generally closed on weekends.
Uknow
August 2024If you're keen on science, you'll love the exhibitions here. As a pharmacist, I found many captivating displays, like vintage slides and old microscopes. Best of all, entry is free, and there's a café inside.
