The Steps are a modest, but ingeniously contrived, lecture and meeting space at RSA House.

It was inspired by the ancient amphitheatres of classical Greece and Rome, the foremost surviving example of which is the 4th Century BC ‘Asklepieion’ at Epidaurus.

The Steps can be booked for small-scale presentations or collaboration sessions.
