The venue for the ‘Multiple Sclerosis at the Limits 2018’ business sessions is the historic
Royal College of Physicians, London, UK
The Royal College of Physicians of London was founded in 1518 as the College of Physicians (it acquired the “Royal” prefix in 1674) by royal charter of King Henry VIII in 1518 – the first medical institution in England to receive a royal charter. The college has been continuously active in improving practice medicine since then, primarily through training and qualifying new physicians.
The College building itself is notable. It was designed by architect Sir Denys Lasdun in 1964 and has since been recognised as a building of national importance: it is a Grade I listed building, one of a very select band of post-war buildings sharing this distinction. Lasdun’s use of mosaic clad concrete was extremely influential on many later public buildings.
Today the Royal College of Physicians is an award-winning and highly versatile venue for conferences and meetings, overlooking Regent’s Park, with excellent access to road, rail and tube and is an automatic choice for the high profile MSATL meeting.
