The Library


Originally purpose built as the Library of the Royal Society, the Library is one of the largest rooms in The Chemistry Centre.

This grade II listed functional library is the ideal venue for lavish awards ceremonies, lectures and a wide vareity of exciting corporate events.

Newly refurbished, it is a seamless blend of old and new, the contemporary features complementing the historic setting to create the perfect venue for banquets, receptions and inspiring exhibitions.

For larger events, this room can be hired as part of a suite of first floor rooms. All the rooms have views over the central fountain-strewn courtyard of Burlington House and the latest art installation, usually provided by the Royal Academy.
