About this space

Originally river-front warehouses, the Vaults display exposed 18th century brickwork, offering a striking contrast to the splendour of the rooms above. There are 4 Vaults at RSA House with 2 - 4 interconnecting providing a great backdrop for parties, dinners and product launches; and the larger Vault 1 ideal for dinners and drinks receptions or to provide that "chill out" space when using the rest of the Vaults.

There is a separate entrance on Durham Street available for events in the Vaults and provides a more exclusive feel to any event.
