1 Belgrave Square - an open house for all

Those who have not seen Romanian Cultural Institute's building in Belgrave Square are welcome to visit us during the Open House London weekend, the capital's largest annual festival of architecture and design, taking place on 19 & 20 September 2015.

Built in the 1820’s by Thomas Cubitt, Belgravia is one of the most beautiful areas of Central London. Our house has a rich history, and it was acquired by the Romanian government before WWII, functioning as embassy, ambassadorial residence or cultural institute ever since.
Grade I listed by the English Heritage for its exceptional architecture, the building’s elegant halls, old furniture and paintings by great Romanian artists have been of great interest for tourists and for those who want to learn more about the insights of the British capital’s architecture.
The visitors will have the chance to see "Auspicious Absents. An architectural and biographical history of 1 Belgrave Square" and ‘The London Salon of Romanian art’ exhibitions.
