Burlington House: Royal Society of Chemistry

The origins of the Royal Society of Chemistry can be traced through the history of its predecessor societies: the Chemical Society, the Society for Analytical Chemistry, the Royal Institute of Chemistry and the Faraday Society. These four bodies merged in 1980 to form The Royal Society of Chemistry, which was granted a new Royal Charter in 1980.

Experience the history, architecture and science of the east wing of Burlington House that's been home to the Royal Society of Chemistry (formerly The Chemical Society) since 1967. The east and west wings, along with the facade along Piccadilly were built in 1873 as an addition to the existing house that was originally built in 1664.
