About RSA

On the first Sunday of every month the RSA opens the doors to its historic London house for individuals, groups and tours free of charge. Located within strolling distance of Trafalgar Square, this Georgian town house is one of the great secret treasures of London. Designed and built by the Adams brothers in the 1750's, it features a series of allegorical paintings by James Barry in the Great room and vast sub-terranean vaults that used to lead out to the Thames.
