3. Awards galore at RSA House

Friday 20 December 2024

RSA House is one of London's most versatile Central London venues within five minutes' walking distance from Charing Cross and Embankment stations. With a historic Georgian front, the five town houses have undergone vast refurbishment transforming the interior to provide 11 dynamic event spaces...

RSA House is blend of Georgian grandeur, ultra contemporary and urban chic and is able to deliver a wide variety of events from conferences to fashion shows, launches, fine dining, Christmas parties, filming, weddings and of course receptions.

The historic Great Room is one of a kind, accommodating 180 guests for a conference, 130 guests for lunches and dinners and 200 guests for a standing reception. The room is dominated by stunning James Barry murals and features full built-in AV including, a high definition projector, PA system, large screen, microphones, full stage and up-lighting. The circular skylight floods the room with natural daylight and adds a modern dimension to the splendour of the room.

The most contemporary of spaces is The Benjamin Franklin room which is most often used as the catering room for conferences. The Troika chandelier reflects stunning geometric patterns on to the ceiling also making this room the perfect backdrop for drinks receptions for 150 guests and dinners for 100 guests.

The exposed brickwork Vaults are a striking contrast to the rest of the building and are popular for receptions, product launches, exhibitions and Christmas parties. All four Vaults allow for events of up to 220 guests standing or 80 guests for a seated dinner and dance. With its own separate entrance just off the Strand on Durham Street, events in the Vaults are exclusive and completely self-contained. The Vaults can be hired until 2am which is perfect for any late party finishes or event installs and de-rigs. The unique Durham Street Auditorium was built on the last remaining stretch of 18^th century cobbled roadway, and is a purpose-built theatre ideal for screenings, conferences and meetings for 70 guests.

A further seven event rooms are situated on the ground and first floors and all vary in size and style. These spaces lend themselves well as breakout rooms for larger conferences although can be individually hired, allowing for multiple events at once. Alternatively, the House can be exclusively hired on weekends.

This jewel amongst central London venues offers a range of all-inclusive day delegate, dining, reception and Christmas packages or hire can be based on room hire and minimum catering spend to allow complete flexibility. Each proposal is tailored to the individual enquiry to ensure all specifics of each event brief are met.

The team at RSA House proudly scooped up three awards including two at the recent London Venue Awards, winning Gold for the second year running in ‘Best Historic Venue’, Silver in the ‘Best for customer service for venues up to 500’ category and ‘Best Wedding Venue’ at the Hire Space Awards.
