Central London Event Spaces | RSA House

RSA House Our spaces

Historic RSA House combines Georgian splendour with high-quality contemporary design, featuring 11 event spaces across four floors. 

The building was completed in 1774 and has many original features designed by renowned architects, the Adam brothers.

The venue is versatile and can be hired exclusively for the day, or room by room. With historic dining rooms, inspiring meeting rooms, a quirky auditorium and the stylish exposed brick Vaults, there is a space to suit every event.

Great Room

A spectacularly breathtaking room. Natural light from the domed glass ceiling illuminates the celebrated paintings, which include The Progress of Human Knowledge, by James Barry. Ideal for larger conferences, dinners and award ceremonies. Capacity: up to 200.

Benjamin Franklin Room

A spacious, elegant room featuring a dramatic Troika chandelier and two original Adam fireplaces. The large window floods the room with daylight and provides a stunning view of the Strand. Ideal for receptions, dinners, meeting catering space and wedding ceremonies. Capacity: up to 150.

Vaults

Originally river-front warehouses, the Vaults offer a striking contrast to the rooms above, with their exposed 18th-century brickwork. The interconnecting spaces when used together create an impressive backdrop for parties, weddings, product launches, press days, photoshoots and exhibitions. Capacity: up to 220.
