Walking into The Library at The Royal Institution feels like stepping into a private members' club where every book has witnessed centuries of brilliant minds at work. This first-floor gem wraps you in floor-to-ceiling bookshelves packed with leather-bound volumes, while original Georgian ceiling moldings and grand chandeliers remind you this isn't just any event space. We've hosted everything from wedding receptions to product launches here, and the room adapts beautifully. Picture your guests mingling beneath the chandeliers with champagne in hand (we're licensed until 11pm), or seated for an elegant dinner as natural light streams through the tall windows. The space comfortably holds 100 for standing receptions or 80 for seated dinners, though we find the sweet spot for board meetings is around 38, when conversation flows as freely as the ideas. Our events team knows exactly how to work with the room's character. We'll set up your preferred layout, whether that's theatre-style for 90, classroom for 45, or cabaret rounds for 36. The built-in AV equipment handles presentations smoothly, while our Wi-Fi keeps everyone connected. Searcy's, our in-house caterers, have mastered the art of serving exceptional food without disturbing the room's scholarly atmosphere. Getting here couldn't be simpler. Green Park Station sits just minutes away, with Piccadilly Circus and Oxford Circus within easy walking distance. For those driving, we offer that London rarity: actual parking spaces. The Library works beautifully solo or combined with our other first-floor rooms when you need extra space for exhibitions or break-out areas. It's where historic grandeur meets modern convenience, creating an atmosphere that makes even routine gatherings feel rather special.
