A British institution famous for human achievement over the past 200 years, where 10 chemical elements were isolated and many significant scientific breakthroughs made, the Ri is the perfect setting for Olympic activities.
Align your organisation with this impressive history whilst the world’s eyes are on London. Entertaining opportunities for 10 – 650 guests and exclusive hire are available throughout the Olympics.
A five minute walk from the Jubilee line at Green Park, the Ri has excellent transport links to the Olympic Park. It is in close proximity to Hyde Park, hosting the triathlon and marathon swimming, and Westminster, where beach volleyball, road marathons and road cycling will take place. Many major hotels and embassies are just around the corner in addition to numerous tourist attractions including Bond Street, Piccadilly Circus, Regent Street and Buckingham Palace.
The Ri is a flexible venue with facilities to cater for a press conference for 440 in the atmospheric amphitheatre, to a private dinner or meeting for 10. Whether in our Georgian rooms flooded with natural daylight and period features, or five floor modern glass atrium, the unique combination of traditional and contemporary spaces creates an inspiring setting.
The Ri can be dramatically transformed into an Olympic base for the duration of the Games, creating an exciting and bespoke backdrop for Olympic activities. From the intriguing exhibition space to the imposing columned facade, there are endless opportunities for creative branding. Exclusive use of the three floors across the Grade 1 listed building forms an impressive base with real impact.
