Room Hire

The Linnean Society of London offers a historic and welcoming Mayfair venue for meetings, conferences, and lectures. Whether you need a small meeting room for just a few people or space throughout the building to manage a larger event, talk to us. We offer highly competitive rates* for room hire in central London.

* Fellow, Associate and charity discounts are available—please let us know if these apply in your enquiry.

The Society is located on Piccadilly, halfway between Green Park and Piccadilly Underground Stations.

Burlington House is formed around a courtyard. Our building neighbours are the Royal Academy of Arts and other Learned Societies. Our impressive entrance is the door on the left underneath the archway as you enter from the street. Our frontage on Piccadilly is a stunning Italianate colonnade.

Burlington House, our home since 1856, is where we house a world-renowned collection of specimens, art and scientific literature, making the Society a unique venue in the heart of London.

Full of architectural and historical significance our building will make a wonderful venue for your event.

Set half day and full day room rates are available upon application. We will be happy to check availability for your preferred date. Evening hires and special requests will require a bespoke quotation according to your needs. We will also be happy to discuss catering options available.

We are open Monday to Friday.
