About the building

RIBA HQ is in a fine Grade II-listed 1930s building, designed by Grey Wornum, at the junction of Portland Place and Weymouth Street in London W1. It is just up the road from the BBC's Broadcasting House HQ, near Regents Park, and between Great Portland Street and Oxford Circus underground stations.
 
The building houses an extensive architecture bookshop, a café with outdoor terrace, galleries hosting exhibitions, lecture theatres for talks, and is home to one of the finest architectural libraries in the world. Rooms - from small meeting rooms to grand halls - can be hired out for functions, conferences or seminars.
 
The British Architectural Library| is housed in the building, and is open to members, and to non-members buying day tickets. Visitors of all ages are welcome, and we hope to see you soon!
