Founded in 1660, the Royal Society's purpose is to promote and advance the understanding of science, technology and engineering worldwide. Many eminent scientists have been elected as Fellows of the Society including Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Ernest Rutherford, Albert Einstein, Dorothy Hodgkin and Stephen Hawking.

Designed by John Nash in 1827, this Grade 1 listed building has recently undergone a major refurbishment programme to provide first class meeting and dining facilities, with state of the art audio-visual services. Facilities for the disabled are available.
For over 300 years, the Royal Society has held some of the most important events in the scientific world, which makes it uniquely equipped to ensure your event is a truly memorable occasion.
