How to Find The Royal Society of Arts
The Royal Society of Arts (RSA)
8 John Adam Street
London
WC2N 6EZ
+44 20 7930 5115
My favorite and most used meeting place in central London and and very near to Trafalgar Square.
The map is pretty good but if you know London and prefer directions then the RSA is easy to find:
Standing on the Strand facing Charing Cross Station take the small road (Villiers Street) that runs down its left hand side towards the Embankment underground station.
About 100 meters on the left is John Adam Street, turn left here.
After walking about 300 meters you will approach a T junction
The RSA is the last building on the left. It is opposite the Adelphi building. You can’t miss it!
