Frequently asked questions
What are the base hire prices for business events at RSA House, and which rooms are available?
Base hire prices for business events vary by room and timing. For example, full day hire of the Prince Philip Room (09:00–13:30) is £1,200 + VAT, and the Queen Elizabeth II Room (used for catering or exhibitions) is £950 + VAT. The Benjamin Franklin Room is also available and suitable for 20–100 guests (max 80 with catering), but specific hire prices for this space are not listed in the available information.
What are the maximum capacities for business events, and how does catering affect capacity?
Capacities depend on both the room and the catering setup. The Benjamin Franklin Room accommodates up to 100 in theatre style, but this is reduced to a maximum of 80 if catering is included. Other rooms’ capacities are not explicitly stated here, so check availability based on your event format and numbers.
What are the standard timings for event bookings in the business spaces at RSA House?
Standard business event timings are split into sessions: full day (08:30–17:00), half-day morning (08:30–12:00), half-day afternoon (13:00–17:00), and evening slots (18:00–23:00). Exact times can be adjusted within these ranges depending on availability, but out-of-hours requests may incur extra fees.
What catering options and costs are available, and are there any catering requirements?
In-house catering is standard. Morning bakery selection with tea and coffee is £10.50 + VAT per person, and a tea, coffee, and biscuits break is £5.50 + VAT per person. Bottled water is £4.50 + VAT (750ml). No information on minimum spends or external catering permissions for business events was found. Kosher and specific dietary requests can be discussed but may require approval.
What is the booking process, and how long can provisional holds be placed on dates?
Clients may request to provisionally hold a date for up to two weeks with first or second option depending on availability. If not confirmed within this period, the date hold is released. Formal proposals and quotations are issued for review before contract and payment arrangements proceed.
What AV and technical facilities are included or available for business events?
Rooms such as the Prince Philip Room include three 65" wall-mounted plasma screens at no extra charge. Video conferencing packages for hybrid/online attendees start from £500 + VAT depending on complexity. Standard AV (screen, microphones, PA) is available, but specifics should be confirmed per event.
Are any additional costs mandatory for business events at RSA House?
All quoted prices are subject to VAT. Staffing and technical support fees may apply depending on requirements (for example, on-site AV technician if needed for complex setups). Cloakroom and security fees are not specified and remain unclear.
What are the payment terms and cancellation policies for business event bookings?
Detailed payment timelines and cancellation policies are not provided in the available information. These will be specified in the formal proposal and contract. Planners should review these closely before confirming the booking.
Are there any restrictions or specific rules that could impact a business event (timings, setup, facilities)?
Events must adhere to booked time slots, and extensions may incur additional charges. Crockery and glassware are prohibited in certain spaces like the Durham Street Auditorium; only canned water is permitted there if serving drinks during events. Room layout changes (e.g., removing catering areas to fit budget) are negotiable but affect inclusions.
Can clients use external suppliers (e.g., caterers, AV companies) for business events?
No clear information is provided on whether external suppliers are permitted for business events. In-house catering is the default, and all AV provisions appear to be managed by venue staff. Requests for external kosher catering have been accommodated in private events but are not confirmed for business bookings.
How does RSA House handle accessible requirements and transport links for business clients?
RSA House is centrally located on John Adam Street in London, close to several major transport links. Full venue accessibility and detailed accessibility support information for individual spaces is not explicitly listed in the available data.
