A HAVEN IN THE HEART OF MAYFAIR
THE HISTORY OF THE ROOM
The Academicians’s Room was built by Norman Shaw RA in 1883 and the elegant interior has recently been designed by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio. The original timber panelled walls are still dotted with the holes from generations of exhibition hangs.
On one side a balcony looks over the Keeper’s House Garden. On the other side, beyond the magnificent doors, are the Main Galleries where exhibitions like Sensation, Monet, David Hockney and the annual Summer Exhibition are staged. ART & ARTISTS
Members of the Academicians’ Room include eminent Royal Academicians, the artists and architects who run the RA. Collectively, they make up some of the greatest names in contemporary art and architecture. The presence and influence of the Academicians is distinctive, not least through the latest artworks adorning the walls.
FOOD & DRINK
We serve tasty and honest food made with the finest seasonal ingredients. Our bar also offers quality wines, classic cocktails, and craft beers alongside speciality coffees and fine teas.
MEMBER EVENTS
The programme of member events is excitingly eclectic, including a Salon Series, monthly evenings curated by the RA Schools, masterclasses and music soirées.
