I recently had a dilemma where I was struggling to find a venue in Mayfair for a group of 30 international clients.

We had a fantastic hotel booked for the week, but unfortunately the hotel could not accommodate one of the meeting days which left me requiring an offsite meeting venue that was not only within close proximity to their hotel, but also one that had a wow factor that rivalled the hotel (and which was also available in December).

Thankfully help was at hand in the guise of the Royal Institution of Great Britain, which although an academic venue where the famous scientist Michael Faraday spent much of his time, it also oozes sophistication with a splendid décor, stunning meeting rooms, a lecture theatre which hosts the BBC’s Christmas lectures and best of all a team of extremely professional, friendly staff to look after you throughout the event.

The Royal Institution of Great Britain is the perfect venue for anyone who wants to get away from the norm of traditional hotel meeting rooms and be somewhere immersed in history that guests will struggle to stop talking about for days to come.
