The Royal Institution offers a Grade I-listed event space located right in the heart of Mayfair. With 9 remarkable events spaces on offer, the Royal Institution is the ideal choice for your next corporate meeting or evening soirée. 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.

We hosted a one day conference here and the venue was perfect for it. We used the conversation room and the mezzanine which allowed easy guest flow and was the perfect size (about 60, 70 would be perfect I think, 80 a squeeze).The events team are super helpful, the AV team great. We upgraded to bowls for lunch and it was excellent quality. I'd host there again without hesitation.

I was privileged to speak at an event in this beautiful historic building, the home of science since 1799. It is magical inside and the main lecture theatre just like you see on TV. The staff and security were friendly, drinks and catering of a decent quality. Such an inspirational place for convening people and disseminating knowledge. Highly recommended for an impactful venue and for a general visit.
