Lonely Planet review for Royal Geographical Society

Just east of the Royal Albert Hall is the headquarters of the Royal Geographical Society, founded in 1830 and housed in a Queen Anne–style red-brick edifice (1874) easily identified by the statues of explorers David Livingstone and Ernest Shackleton outside. The society holds a regular talks program (especially on Monday evenings) and photography exhibitions, while the Foyle Reading Room offers access to the society’s collection of more than half a million maps, photographs, books and manuscripts. Enter from Exhibition Rd.
