Fellows' facilities
The following facilities are at the disposal of RSA Fellows. For more information about becoming a Fellow, contact the Fellowship department.
Stunning Georgian House
The RSA's House was designed by John Adam in the early 1770s. It combines the best in classical and contemporary design to provide Fellows with an intellectual home and meeting place.
The House is just a two-minute walk from Embankment or Charing Cross stations. Fellows and their guests are welcome Monday to Friday, from 8.30 to 22.00. The House is closed at weekends, on public holidays and between Christmas and New Year.
Exclusive dining
The Vaults restaurant is in the atmospheric vaults of former warehouses on the riverfront. Fellows are welcome to bring up to five guests. We recommend that you book at least 24 hours in advance.
The Vaults restaurant is open weekdays 12.15 to 14.00 and in the evenings on lecture nights.
Alternatively, call +44 (0)20 7930 5115 or email us with your booking request.
Evening drinks or an afternoon break in the Gerard Bar
The Gerard Bar is an ideal place for Fellows and their guests to eat and relax in informal surroundings. You can use the bar for small social events and casual meetings where you can enjoy hot drinks and light meals and browse newspapers and periodicals. Alcoholic drinks and bar snacks are available in the evening.
