The Tindale Room is part of the 18 Adam Street building. Its leasehold was purchased by the RSA in 1957. The room was named in honour of Patricia Randall Tindale (born 1926 – died 2011) in 2012.
Tindale was an architect and civil servant. She developed prototypes for prefabricated school buildings in the 1950s and 60s, later working for various government departments. She was Chief Architect at the Department of the Environment between 1982 and 1986.
Tindale was a Fellow for over 20 years and left the RSA £700,000 in her will. In 2013, to commemorate her memory, the RSA held a special lecture series on design.
In 2014 and 2015, the renowned RSA Student Design Awards (now RSA Spark) included a Patricia Tindale Legacy Award, which challenged students to reduce construction waste.

Being the smallest space, the Tindale Room is suited to small meetings and interviews. The space makes an ideal organiser’s office for groups wanting to hire RSA House in its entirety.
