Royal Geographical Society

Where to find us

Society closed to visitors

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and advice from government on social distancing and working from home, the building is closed to visitors, including Fellows and members, and will likely remain so until January 2021.

Staff are working remotely and are contactable by telephone or email as usual, and through their departmental email addresses.

Our events and training programmes have moved online, and our Monday night lectures for Fellows and members are being live streamed each week.

Please note that our access to the post is very limited, and we apologise for the delay in responding to any post you send us.

Accessibility at the Society

Wheelchair spaces and an induction loop are available in the Ondaatje Theatre.
Personal assistants or carers can usually be accommodated at events (please let the event organiser know in advance).
Registered assistance dogs are welcome.
An accessible toilet is available.

Please contact us in advance of visiting if you have any queries about the Society's facilities.
