Drinks reception spaces

We’ve got a space for any style or size of reception, from the Benjamin Franklin Room, with its stunning Troika chandelier, to Muse at RSA House – our luxurious cocktail bar.

Vaults

Originally river-front warehouses, the Vaults offer a striking contrast to the rooms above, with their exposed 18th-century brickwork. The interconnecting spaces when used together create an impressive backdrop for parties, weddings, product launches, press days, photoshoots and exhibitions. Capacity: up to 220.

Great Room

A spectacularly breathtaking room. Natural light from the domed glass ceiling illuminates the celebrated paintings, which include The Progress of Human Knowledge, by James Barry. Ideal for larger conferences, dinners and award ceremonies. Capacity: up to 200.

Spacious, elegant event hall with wooden floors, high ceilings, large wall murals, cocktail tables with black covers, and a podium on a small stage with steps. Soft purple lighting highlights the room's features.

Benjamin Franklin Room

A spacious, elegant room featuring a dramatic Troika chandelier and two original Adam fireplaces. The large window floods the room with daylight and provides a stunning view of the Strand. Ideal for receptions, dinners, meeting catering space and wedding ceremonies. Capacity: up to 150.

A circular bar with a gold mirrored base and a white countertop stands in an elegant room with columns, plants, and decorative lamps. Soft, warm lighting creates floral patterns on the ceiling.

What our clients say 

The evening was a really good fun, very relaxed and in a wonderful setting I’ll be back as Arnie once said. A lovely night, a glass of red to kick off and a warm welcome from the organizers. Amazing setting and will return for sure in May.
