The Space

The venue offers a diverse selection of spaces, perfect for any event, from conferences and meetings to receptions and dinners.

With direct access from our Main Entrance on Albemarle Street, the ground-floor event spaces provide impressive, modern rooms with a seamless journey for your guests. For First Floor events, guests will be welcomed by the iconic sweeping Grand Staircase.

Whether you're seeking a corporate meeting venue or a party space in Mayfair, the first floor of the Royal Institution has everything you need, including the renowned Faraday lecture theatre and elegant heritage rooms.

The Lower Ground Floor presents a contemporary, blank canvas event space, ideal for branding and networking opportunities. With views of Faraday's original laboratory and fascinating objects like the first Thermos and the lifesaving coal miner’s lamp, this floor adds a unique touch. The exhibition areas and galleries also offer an interactive element to enhance your event.

Whether through engaging with exhibits or booking one of our remarkable tours or demonstrations, this space promises to immerse your guests in an unforgettable event experience.
