Quick and easy


“Simple but Better” and for the rare and the spirited. The Royal Institution's origins started as an institution promoting Literature, science and the arts in 1814 and was granted its royal charter in 1821.

Now in a new era, we want to keep the foundations of its history and themes of the past together with new ideas in this everchanging dynamic world. The three iconic rooms will take you on an expedition of fine wine, spirits, signature and classic cocktails done “Simple but Better”.
