Me and my partner were married at the RSA Vaults on the 20th August 2021. From the moment we touched base with the event manager, Olivia to the moment my now wife walked down the isle, the whole experience was amazing. When we picked the venue at the start of 2021 restrictions were still in place so our first viewings and meetings were done virtually and very well. Olivia walked us through all the steps and the options for our wedding and gave us a virtual guided tour which made the whole experience less stressful and enjoyable. On the day of the event Olivia and her team had everything set up and ready, the staff were amazing and went above and beyond on some occasions and everything ran perfectly until the very end. I would 100% recommend the venue to couples looking to tie the knot at the RSA Vaults. The location is amazing and the venue itself is so beautiful, especially once the lighting and decorations are in place!!

We recently held our work Christmas Party at RSA House. The team were helpful, friendly and professional. Greta was fantastic at getting everything arranged for us, and ensuring we had everything that we needed. She was also very understanding when we had a few last minute changes, and handled them well. Communication was clear and easy with the whole team. The venue itself was beautiful and the rooms were decorated to a high standard. The food served was received very well, and I heard many positive comments on the night, and since. I would consider using RSA for future events, and recommend to others.

I worked with the fantastic Olivia at RSA to deliver our charity's post-race reception for the 2021 London Marathon, which we held in the vaults at RSA House. The venue is stunning, the location is great, the catering was delicious and everything from the planning to the delivery on the day was seamless. The team were incredibly professional, ensuring the event was executed to a really high standard and we've received glowing feedback from our guests. I wouldn't hesitate to book an event at RSA House again. Thanks Olivia and team!

We recently held our wedding at the RSA and had the most wonderful day! The venue is amazing, perfect for a city wedding, and the different rooms and atmosphere for different parts of the day worked so well! Our guests absolutely loved the canapes, the dinner, the beautiful dining room, and the vaults for an amazing nightclub feel for the DJ and the party. Silvia looked after us so well through the whole process, which given it was organised through COVID and we had lots of worries / questions, was so so appreciated. She is so lovely to work with and made sure everything went so smoothly, nothing was too much trouble. We highly recommend this venue for anyone that wants a truly memorable venue for a London wedding!

The RSA is more than one venue, we had the whole building exclusively for our November wedding and having access to such a variety of rooms was simply fantatsic. All of our guests loved the venue - from the beautiful Benjamin Franklin room for the ceremony, the airy Tavern room for drinks, the impressive Great Hall for the wedding breakfast to the party in the Vaults. We could not fault it. The food was amazing, a huge credit to Darren for creating restaurant worthy food for 80 plus people. Throughout the whole process Silvia has been wonderfully supportive, it is not easy to plan and re-plan a wedding during Covid but we felt that the whole team at RSA was on our side working with us and helping us to navigate the new normal. Olivia and Silvia are superstars and made the process stress-free. Everyone at RSA who was there on the day were utter professionals and so helpful to our guests, they made the whole day such a joy. In the words of one of our guests "everyone should have their wedding at the RSA"

Amazing wedding venue. We held our daughter's wedding at RSA House at the end of August. It was a truly wonderful occasion, made even more special by the welcome and attention given to us by the events team at the House. Thanks in particular to Olivia and Sylvia whose care and attention to detail made planning and execution of the wedding so easy for us; nothing appeared to be too much trouble. RSA House is a special place, so centrally located in London that it made our party, after covid, safe and easy to get to. We had one hundred guests, which is perfect for this venue and the ability to use the four principal areas of the house for the event meant that each part of the day; ceremony, drinks reception, formal dinner and finally the party in the vaults, felt like a different and special part of the day. We all left in the wee hours of the morning, wishing the party could carry on indefinitely. What a memorable day! Thank you again to all the team.

E. B. P.

We regularly host events in London and following a recent event, RSA House stood out as a venue for us. The staff in particular are so efficient, helpful and reliable. They felt like an extension of our team, and represented us brilliantly. Thank you RSA. See you soon!

S. B.

Perfect venue for a London wedding I do not even know where to start. Olivia, Laura and the team at RSA House are indescribable. Absolute professionals but also warm and wonderful people. Olivia got us through the pandemic, the shifting of dates and is having to completely change the structure of our wedding. Her patience and kindness throughout the whole process was incredible. It felt like we were her only couple because she was so on it and across every detail. It was a shame she was on holiday for our big day but Laura was incredible. Dealing with any hiccups without me even knowing, it was all amazing and without them, I would not have had the best day of my life. RSA House is a stunning venue and honestly perfect for anyone who wants a London wedding all in one place. The character and charm was unlike any other venue that we saw- it was perfect. Also, the RSA is a charity and that, for us, was the cherry on top. A huge thank you to every single person involved in making our day happen. It was incredible ❤️❤️

J. M.

I recently had my wedding at the RSA and it was an incredible experience. Olivia and Laura are both amazing, nothing is too much trouble, Olivia was incredibly responsive and helpful and made sure the whole process felt so special. And the actual wedding was amazing, the venue looked beautiful and the food was restaurant standard (a lot of my guests commented on it). I had to move the date twice due to Covid and the team made it so easy and stress free, they clearly just wanted us to have the best experience. I am so happy I chose the RSA for my wedding, sometimes you can't sum up how grateful you are in a review and I feel like that about my whole experience. It was truly magical.

S. K.

We recently celebrated my brother's wedding this last weekend. My two angel flower girls had the best time, from having their own room to change in to being able to chat to the lovely folk at the RSA. Spectacular, everything was stunning, as should be & who could have wished for a nicer backdrop. Thank you! Definitely recommend it! 🤵👰

S. M.

Beautiful venue. Our Love Rocks neon looked amazing!

B. C.

RSA House is the perfect venue for a London wedding, and you couldn't ask for a more generous and supportive team, particularly Olivia. Having rearranged twice due to the pandemic, Olivia couldn't haven't been kinder as we replanned again and again, helping answer even the smaller questions as we organised our day. The spaces are gorgeous, with each room being unique and our guests raved about the food and service throughout the day. The team really think of everything, which meant we could totally relax on the day knowing they had everything in hand. Could not recommend hosting your wedding here more highly - wish we could do it all again!

H. W.

We used RSA House for a conference this November (2018) which worked well for our numbers (130). The venue contact was very helpful. I think people liked the venue with character staircase and mural. The only negative was the difficulty in customising the stage/set and AV although it all looked good and worked well on the day. The toilets are a little difficult to access/find but we didn't have any complaints. The food was good and the Benjamin Franklin room was used for all refreshments.

V. L.

Really lovely space, we have hosted a few work events here and they have always gone really well. For our recent event the booking team were very helpful & Laura, their Head of Sales and Marketing really helped to accommodate our budget and requirements. Would always consider here for future events

The RSA hosted our wedding in September 2020. We had the most utterly divine day! Our original date was pencilled in for May, however the Covid crisis forced us to postpone until December. When the future of weddings looked very uncertain, the RSA House pulled out all the stops to help make our wedding happen in 3.5 days. The team were absolutely amazing! Everything ran perfectly, and the team managed all the COVID secure precautions so carefully. We were so happy to get married at the wedding venue we dreamed of, and couldn’t recommend it more highly. The food was perfect, the team’s hosting was flawless, and Olivia is one of the best Events Managers I have ever come across! For anyone looking for a London wedding venue, I wholeheartedly recommend the RSA house.

We know it hasn't been easy with the pandemic, but RSA made planning the wedding seem so flawless and smooth, especially at a time where we had to change venues and there was so much uncertainty in what was to become of our special day. They were on point with the emails and it never felt that we had to wait too long for a reply or update. Staff at the venue were great, from greeting all the guests, following the COVID rules to keeping us updated on what was going on next and being so calm and collected. We loved the venue from when we saw the pictures and even more when we had a chance to visit in person. We know that although we were only allowed to have an intimate wedding, the venue didn't feel too big for us. The food was lovely, tasty selection of canapés just enough not to fill us up for the great dinner that we were looking forward to later that evening. The worry that we didn't have a food tasting session beforehand went out of the window once the food started coming through, we had really positive feedback and drinks kept on flowing! TL;DR -- Great Wedding venue, Staff and Food

J. E.

We hosted our wedding at the beautiful RSA House - Both Laura and Olivia who helped us to plan and run the actual day respectively were absolutely fantastic - looked after every detail, pushed us to get things done on time, and made the effort to ensure we could try to have the best wedding we could despite some complex restrictions and changing circumstances due to Covid. Day ran without a hitch and everyone had a great time (thanks also to Rupert for helping manage and orchestrate as well). The house team was great, from set up to food to changeovers to AV to clean-up. We actually picked the venue off a Virtual Tour and photos due to the start of Covid, but it was even better in person. A number of different spaces allowed us to hold the whole day in the same venue without getting tired of the space My (now!) wife and I thoroughly recommend to anyone considering a wedding in the city

RSA House is an amazing venue with an even more amazing team! The rooms, in particular the Benjamin Franklin and The Tavern room are absolutely stunning- the pictures do not do them justice! Definitely visit in person as the rooms were much bigger than anticipated and the venue itself is deceivingly large on the inside with many lounges and cosy areas as well as the fantastic vaults underground! The absolute cherry on the cake was the dedication of the senior events lead- Olivia; from the get go, she took the time to get to know us and really understood our vision, she went above and beyond to accommodate for our micro wedding and was an absolute pleasure to work with! Weddings can be stressful to organise but we genuinely looked forward to our virtual meetings with Olivia as she was very professional but still personable! Would recommend this venue and Olivia in a heartbeat!

RSA House is the perfect wedding venue. The building itself is just beautiful. With the place to ourselves, we made use of the gorgeous rooms on the ground and first floor for the ceremony, reception drinks and all important photos. Then we moved downstairs to the candlelit vaults for dinner and dancing. It was magical! Such a romantic and private atmosphere - exactly what we wanted. Although everything was brilliant, the real highlight for us was dinner - so many of our guests said to us it was the best food they’d ever had. The whole day ran like clockwork. In fact, the whole experience was straightforward from start to finish. The RSA wedding planning team are with you every step of the way - with a perfect balance of recommendations and reminders and some brilliant suppliers, while also giving you the space to come up with your own ideas to personalise your day. It was then so reassuring to have someone we knew (the wonderful Olivia) look after us on the day itself. We really can’t recommend this place highly enough - our wedding was everything we ever dreamed of and more. Wish we could do it all over again!

We hosted a fantastic event at RSA House in their Benjamin Franklin room. The staff made everything so easy and the food and drink was delicious. It made for a classy and memorable evening!

A. F.

A very well equipped and friendly place to work or host meetings and conferences. Very interesting historical architecture also.

N. J.

We used the Prince Philip room for our recent hybrid meeting and it was perfect for our needs. Really helpful team who were all really responsive and reassured us with all the restrictions and guidance we needed to consider and share with my team. We each got our own pre packed sandwich bag which was ideal in current times. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a meeting room!

G. F.

What a fantastic venue! The venue itself is the perfect blend of tradition and history with modern facilities and features. The staff are second to none, with smiling faces and attentive service, nothing is ever too much trouble.

S. N.

Lovely venue in the city where we hosted our intimate wedding in December 2020! Olivia and her team were fab and very patient with us as our plans were ever changing due to the government rules! Thank you so much for giving us such a lovely day

RSA House is a brilliant central London venue with excellent meeting rooms and amazing, attentive staff. We booked our full day meeting quite last minute and the venue was more than happy to work with us and accommodate our requests. The staff on the day were great and kept checking in on our meeting during the breaks throughout the day to see how things were going and if we had any changes. Any last minute changes to the timings of our day were catered for really quickly, including a last minute sign change on the door of the room! The food we had for lunch was very good and plenty of people were coming up for seconds. We were in the Tavern Room which is a great room and has a brilliant view of the streets of London. There is a small lounge area outside the room which was ideal for us as we had some speakers attending and they were able to wait outside in comfort. Overall ourselves as the organisers and the people who attended the meeting were impressed with the look and feel of the room and venue and we will definitely be back to RSA House again.

A fabulous London events venue - really impresses the overseas visitor with the blend of tradition and modernity. The warren of staircases and rooms, passages and assorted nooks and crannies, the 18th century portraits, the association with famous people from history - all creates a unique atmosphere. I have been to events at the RSA several times over the years, and really enjoy coming to the place.

K. G.

I am biased (I am a Fellow of the RSA). However I would like to state that it is an excellent venue for conferences and events. We held a strategic offsite at the RSA and the Romney Room was excellent. Catering was above expectations ( imaginative selection for lunch buffet). Friendly staff and a stimulating environment.

L. A.

Our company has hosted events every year at RSA House for the past 6 years and we will continue to do so for as long as possible. The building, staff, catering and service is fantastic, we really couldn't ask for better. I would highly recommend RSA to anybody looking to host an event which will guarantee you great feedback on your venue choice!

A nice place to get some work done if you are a fellow and visiting London. Good meeting rooms, nice refreshments. Good library.

D. B.

Lovely selection of rooms with a contemporary feels. Good cafe and work areas. I retired to the library which was light airy and just the right balance of queit but vibrant with activity. Lots of people meeting and planning and getting things done. The rates and prices are reasonable for the facilities you have access to.

M. D.

We held our Customer Christmas party in the Tavern room and were very impressed. The RSA provide a very accommodating, friendly and professional service. We were very pleased with the team, all the staff were attentive and we had many compliments on the food. Would definitely recommend.

K. B. L.

It's a venue I would go to for events as nicely presented in room that is quite small but airy. With a cafe in the basement which serves some good breakfast deals although the seating area holds approx 8 tables so will accommodate a maximum of 16. The cafe has a door opening to an outer space but I didn't see any tables in the space which is still inside the building. It's easy to hear and see the speaker on the podium in the room on the 1st floor so the audio system is in good working condition. Nice reception area too with a room leading off the main entrance area. The nearest tube station is London Bridge but not easy to find. The best route is through the park, then past the row of restaurants and down a side street (left turn, then right).

N. H.

The RSA Vaults were a great space for Rose Bruford College's Face to Face industry networking event. Good atmosphere and facilities, and great support from the RSA events team. College staff, students and our 85+ industry guests all loved the venue.

D. B.

A great place to work, meet and grab a tea. But also a great business events venue. I’ve run a few from here now in the Vaults and using the auditorium. Not particularly cheap but great for a business event. Top staff, food, drinks. All in an interesting venue with so much history.

W. S.

Beautiful historic building to host medium sized events

D. A.

Lovely Venue!

One of the best experience of attending a breakfast conference here at this venue. It is accessible and so scenic. Lovely atmosphere and can be accessed easily from Charring cross station and Holborn underground!

S. W.

We wanted to say again how amazing our day was and that we couldn’t have done it without you and the team. Thank you for being so great before and during the event, you guys had clearly worked so hard and planned every tiny detail. All the best and thank you so much again for everything.

E. S. O.

Great place to co-work, have lunch and informal meetings. The space is bright, inviting, and if you're lucky you may find a private nook, away from the heavier foot fall that the more popular areas generate. There are several spaces that host small events and talks during the day. Most are open to the public. It's certainly worth stopping by!

R. M.

A great building and atmosphere for meeting and events. Once inside, you'd never think you were in Central London. If you are visiting as a guest, make sure someone can meet or guide you as it's easy to get lost on the inside.

M. C.

Lovely place for a meeting. Was only there as a guest for a couple of hours but nicely laid and easy place to have a confidential chat. Makes me think I should become a member/fellow.

P. G.

Beautiful interior. We held a work event there for around 80 people and the facilities were very good. A wine-tasting activity was held down in the cellars.

E. J.

Lovely work space and great coffee

I’m a fellow (FRSA). The facilities are pretty amazingly cool, soon to be expanded. The places is history all around you. Fosters creativity.
