A grand Georgian-style building with tall columns, arched windows, and a teal flag above the entrance—perfect for historic house tours London. The facade bears the inscription "ARTS AND COMMERCE PROMOTED" above the columns.

If walls could talk…

Well, at RSA House, they do.

For over 270 years, these Georgian rooms have witnessed the birth of movements, the spark of revolutions, and the quiet conversations that changed the world. From the fight for child labour laws to environmental transformation, many of the ideas that shaped our society first took root within these walls. 

But RSA House isn’t a museum. It’s a living ideas laboratory where tomorrow begins with a conversation between today’s innovators.

Step inside history, step into your future 

Whether you’re drawn by history, motivated by purpose, or simply curious about what happens when passionate people come together, RSA House offers something extraordinary: a place where your potential meets possibility. 

Our exclusive RSA House tour reveals the secrets behind one of London’s most influential addresses. Walk through the Great Room designed by the Adam Brothers and decorated over a century later by Arthur Bolton, discover the hidden stories in our archives, and see where Fellows past and present have gathered to turn bold ideas into reality. 

You’ll explore: 

  • The Great Room – home to James Barry’s painting ‘The Progress of Human Knowledge and Culture’ 
  • The Benjamin Franklin Room – honouring one of the first Fellows and his spirit of innovation 
  • The Vaults – home to treasures that tell the story of social progress 
  • The Coffee House – where informal conversations spark formal change
