Dr Cross
Room
The Dr Cross Room is the main space in The Coffee House at the RSA. It was named after Dr Neil Earl Cross in 2018.
Born in 1945, Dr Neil Cross was a scientist by training though he chose to switch careers to business, specifically venture capital. He was Executive Director of one of the UK’s leading equity finance houses, 3i, where he spent 27 years before retiring in 1996.
Dr Cross was elected RSA Council Chairman in 2001 and was a member of the RSA Advisory Council until 2007. He advocated that the RSA must be relevant and reflect wider society, as it is today, without moving away from the original philosophy of the founders.
