The RI has something for everyone. It is free to visit and the exhibition, public programme and 'Time & Space' café, restaurant and bar offer a stimulating and relaxed environment to see, hear and talk about science. Whether it is a spending spree on Bond Street, a stroll around Green Park or royal reception at Buckingham Palace - the RI is the perfect Mayfair pit stop."
