Royal College of Surgeons

About the venue

As one of the world's leading surgical institutions, the College has been based at Lincoln's Inn Fields since 1797.

Today the elegant building not only represents an institution at the forefront of surgical education and training, but also serves as an outstanding venue for conferences, meetings and banquets. Equipped with the latest technology and supported by a highly professional events team, its classical surroundings and fascinating history will add prestige, originality and value to your event. Locations range from the stunning oak panelled Edward Lumley Dining Hall to state of the art tiered lecture theatres. Smaller meetings and private dining can be accommodated in a number of historical rooms, such as the prestigious Council Chamber, where visitors are watched over by magnificent oil canvases, including a portrait by Reynolds of the distinguished surgical anatomist John Hunter.
