Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA)

Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Review

An Art Deco gem in elegant Portland Place, RIBA was built by Grey Wornum in 1934. Its distinctive Portland stone facade stands out amid the surrounding 18th-century mansions, and large bronze doors lead to a spacious foyer with a wide marble staircase. There are exhibition spaces; regular lectures and special events; a huge bookshop; and a delightful Art Deco café.
