About Writing Room
18 Boardroom
30 Theatre
20 Standing / Reception
12 U-Shaped
Picture yourself planning an event surrounded by centuries of scientific discovery. The Writing Room at The Royal Institution of Great Britain transforms ordinary gatherings into something rather special, with book-lined walls that have witnessed countless intellectual breakthroughs since 1799. This intimate space works beautifully for different occasions. We can arrange up to 30 guests theatre-style for presentations, welcome 20 for standing receptions, or create a more focused setting with 18 around our boardroom table. For workshops or training sessions, the U-shaped layout accommodates 12 participants perfectly. Natural light pours through the large windows overlooking Mayfair, while our classic chandelier casts a warm glow during evening events. The room comes alive for private dinners and celebration parties. Our alcohol licence runs until 11 PM, and our experienced catering team knows exactly how to serve drinks and canapés without disrupting the flow of conversation. The scholarly atmosphere, created by floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, adds unexpected character to birthday gatherings or anniversary celebrations, giving your guests plenty to talk about beyond the usual party small talk. We've equipped the space with everything modern events require: reliable Wi-Fi, a projector for presentations, and a flatscreen TV for displaying photos or videos during celebrations. The traditional furnishings blend seamlessly with these contemporary touches, creating an environment that feels both historic and current. Getting here couldn't be easier. Green Park Station sits just minutes away on foot, with Piccadilly Circus and Oxford Circus also within walking distance. For those driving, we offer that rarest of London luxuries: on-site parking. The Writing Room offers something genuinely different for your next party or gathering, where the very walls seem to encourage brilliant conversation and memorable moments.
