RIGB entrance

The Royal Institution is an independent charity dedicated to connecting people to the world of science. Based in the heart of Mayfair, their 21 Albemarle Street home seamlessly combines historic and contemporary spaces with over 200 years of scientific heritage.

The Royal Institution was founded on 7 March 1799 and from the very start, their purpose was to introduce new technologies and teach science to the general public through lectures and demonstrations.

Their Royal Charter was granted in 1800, and they became a membership organisation in 1810.

Over the last two centuries, their building and labs have been home to groundbreaking science engagement, including the world-famous Christmas Lectures, and scientists, such as Michael Faraday, whose discoveries have helped shape the modern world.
