A Grade II-listed Georgian townhouse, RSA House features: 

  • Original period features: A sweeping staircase with 19th-century mosaics, stunning chandeliers, large artworks, original doors, chimney pieces and floor-to-ceiling sash windows. RSA House is one of the few London locations with a door similar in both date and style to 10 Downing Street. 
  • Modern elegance: Natural light-filled spaces with high-quality contemporary styling, offering a perfect contrast to the House’s rich history. 

Versatile filming and production spaces

Bright lounge area with two pink chairs and a small table beside tall arched windows. A staircase with a gold-framed classical painting and a large wall of names is in the background, creating an elegant, airy atmosphere.

With 12 unique spaces available for hire, either exclusively or as individual rooms, RSA House can accommodate both historical and contemporary film sets. Our popular filming spaces include the Vaults, an atmospheric underground space with exposed 18th-century brickwork, and the Great Room, our striking flagship space.

Additional spaces can be used as green rooms, dressing rooms, hair and makeup areas, catering spaces and for storage.
