The Royal Academy of Arts, the oldest fine arts attraction in Britain is a must – see on your day visits and short breaks in London.

Situated in the heart of the West End on Piccadilly, it is universally renowned for hosting some of the capital’s finest temporary and touring exhibitions. Its annual Summer Exhibition, running since the institution first opened, displays select work from up and coming artists and by academicians.

The restaurant serves an appetising selection of hot and cold dishes and you can also enjoy light refreshments in the outdoor café during the warmer weather. Two shops, located adjacent to the galleries exits, sell merchandise inspired by the current exhibitions and the works of the Academicians, as well as a great selection of art books.
