What our clients say 

Thanks so much for everything yesterday – people really enjoyed the event; guests loved the venue spaces and thought the tours were great! Your team there were terrific too. It was a well-organized event with a lovely room of people! Thanks for lying on a great event last evening and please pass on my thanks to the RSA team. My first time visiting the RSA, what a beautiful building. Thank you so much for inviting us, the Film London nights are always so valuable, and we had a great time!!

Film London Networking Event
January 2025

Spectacular conference venue! The Great Room, with its lofty ceiling and jaw dropping frieze, is a wonderful place to sit for a day of presentations. Everything is clean, uncluttered, well-kept and feels high end. The food was great. The whole place is a bit of hidden gem, tucked away as it is, but quite easy to find, nonetheless. Staff all friendly as well, and the AV team were great, running presentations with video and Zoom contributor inserts perfectly.
