History

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS)  headquarters is a fine, listed building that dates from 1899 offering an eclectic mix of  traditional and modern architecture. The building is situated at 12 Great George Street, London, overlooking Westminster Abbey, with Parliament Square and Big Ben in the foreground.

The building was designed and built for the RICS by Architect Alfred Waterhouse. He was an English architect, particularly associated with the Victorian Gothic revival. He is perhaps best known for his design of the Natural History and Science museums in London, although he also built a wide variety of other buildings throughout the country.

The RICS second venue, Surveyor Court, Coventry, built in 1991, is a modern purpose built complex with three flexible, comfortable meeting rooms and the Atrium. Situated on Westwood Business Park, just a 10 minute taxi ride from Coventry station. It is also easily accessible from the national motorway network and Birmingham international airport.
