Senate Room

In a magnificent room overlooking Burlington Gardens, the RA’s Senate Room has been restored and embellished by Sir David Chipperfield RA. It’s a perfect spot for a light lunch or some elegant evening cocktails.

Inspired by its Italianate surroundings, the menu features a selection of antipasti, salads and crostini alongside daily pasta specials, cured hams and regional cheeses, accompanied by a range of proseccos, Italian wines and classic soft drinks.

By night, the lights lower and a specially curated range of spirits and cocktails is on offer, alongside our range of hams, cheeses, and olives.

Come and visit the newly restored Senate Room: an Italianate café by day, and an atmospheric bar by night – all in the beautiful surroundings of the Royal Academy.
