Grand columns and centuries of scientific heritage greet your guests when they arrive at our Carlton House Terrace entrance. Here at The Royal Society, the Whole Building offers you complete exclusivity across all 12 event spaces, from intimate wood-panelled boardrooms to our magnificent Wellcome Trust Lecture Hall, where up to 300 guests can gather theatre-style or 800 for flowing receptions. Picture your celebration unfolding through interconnected rooms, each with its own distinct character. Morning ceremonies in the Lecture Hall transition naturally to afternoon drinks in the Wolfson Rooms, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame St James's Park and The Mall. By evening, your guests move between spaces, discovering portrait-lined corridors and chandelier-lit reception rooms that have witnessed 360 years of groundbreaking discoveries. We've configured our spaces to accommodate your vision, whether that's 800 guests mingling at a cocktail reception, 150 enjoying cabaret-style entertainment, or an intimate banquet for 80 beneath glittering chandeliers. Our Dining Room transforms from daytime conference space to evening party venue, while smaller rooms provide quiet retreats for guests seeking conversation away from the main festivities. Every room comes equipped with full audiovisual capabilities and WiFi, supported by our technical team who ensure music, lighting and presentations run flawlessly. Natural light floods through tall windows during daytime events, while air conditioning maintains comfort throughout your celebration. Our catering partner Graysons creates seasonal menus using sustainably sourced ingredients, reflecting our Silver EcoSmart accreditation and commitment to environmental responsibility. Just minutes from Charing Cross station in London's West End, exclusive hire of our Grade I listed building means your guests experience the full grandeur of this National Academy of Science, where every booking supports our charitable mission advancing scientific excellence for humanity's benefit.
