Cloudsley-Thompson Room

Cloudsley-Thompson Room

An intimate space located on the lower-ground floor of the Linnean Society. With a total capacity of six persons in a boardroom layout the Cloudsley-Thompson room lends itself well to meetings for small groups.

A quiet, private, and peaceful room, home to two glass fronted cabinets containing the private library of J.L. Cloudsley Thompson, a noted zoologist and benefactor of the Society.

This small room can be booked on it’s own, or in conjunction with other rooms in the building to facilitate a break out space from a larger event.

Accessibility

The Cloudsley-Thompson Room is on the lower ground floor and can only be accessed via a lift or by descending stairs.

A lift provides step-free access to the lower ground, ground, first, and second floors. Access to the lift requires manual door opening.

A unisex accessible toilet is on the lower ground floor, with step free access via the lift. It does not require a RADAR key. Other toilet facilities are available on multiple levels.

Our historic building features six stone steps leading up to our entrance. We have a portable ramp that staff will be very happy to place to assist entry and exit from the building when a need is identified.

Our location inside a 19th century listed building presents several challenges as regards physical accessibility some of which are summarised here. We recognise that our visitors have different needs, and our staff are here to support you. If there are adjustments we can make ahead of your visit—or you have any questions about access—please do not hesitate to get in touch via the form below.
