A £56million project and ten years work reach their conclusion later this week when two halves of the Royal Academy in London are ‘welded together’.

The new-look Royal Academy will have up to 70% more exhibition space and will display the country’s sole Michelangelo marble as well as paintings by Turner, Millais and Hockney. 

Tucked in the corner of the Royal Academy’s courtyard, the newly-opened Keeper’s House provides new events space.  

Keepers House is a 19th century town house which features a new restaurant, cocktail bar, lounge and secret garden.

Keeper’s House is available to hire for drinks receptions, breakfast buffets and dining.

Keeper’s House includes the Sir Hugh Casson Room equipped with a sound system, projector and screen and accommodating up to 100 guests for a reception.

The Belle Shenkman Room is available for small groups up to 25. Half of the main restaurant in Keeper’s House can also be privatised for up to 46 guests.

The Royal Academy is based in Burlington House on Piccadilly in London. It reopens to the public on 19thMay 2018.
