The View: events with heritage
Holding events at The View puts you in illustrious company. The Royal College of Surgeons of England provides pioneering research for over 30,000 members, as well as examination and conference facilities for the College.
Your guests’ journey starts with a grand entrance through our historic porch, adorned with classical columns which leads to a spacious lobby featuring distinctive portraits of past Royal College of Surgeons alumni. Our lifts then transport invitees to our event spaces, both refurbished in 2021 with sustainability and ergonomics in mind.
Located on the 6th floor, The View is noted for its transformational facilities and stunning city views, made possible thanks to our open-air terrace.
Meanwhile, our 1st floor features the Lumley Library, a spacious event destination housing a collection of medical science books, noted as the finest in Europe since the 19th century.
