    I recently took part in a guided tour of the Royal Society, led by a knowledgeable and humorous member of their archives team. Situated in a Grade I listed building, this haven of scientific thought previously served as the German Embassy and showcases the architectural brilliance of John Nash. The tour revealed an intriguing fact: the portrait of Charles Darwin here is touted as the most authentic, challenging the National Portrait Gallery's own claims. Equally captivating is the intricately designed ceiling—a feast for the eyes. A rewarding experience for both the mind and the eyes.

    It was a little crowded in places and some of the information displays were hard to read due to staff/visitors obscuring them but overall it was an enjoyable and educational visit.

    As UK National Academy of Natural Sciences go, it's probably in the top one.

    Visited this place during Open House weekend and found it exquisite. The German doors are really impressive and the library has old scientific instruments. It's worth checking out the paintings and knowing about some members of the royal society.
