41 Portland Place

41 Portland Place, London, Greater London, W1B 1QH, United Kingdom

Designed by James Adam in 1773, 41 Portland Place was a private home until 1939. After surviving the London Blitz, the building became the home to the Ciba/Novartis Foundation and hosted prestigious scientific events attended by some of the greatest medical scientists of the last century.


In 2010 after a £5M refurbishment, the building started a new chapter in history as the home of the Academy of Medical Sciences and profits generated by venue hire are used to fund activities run by the Academy to ensure research improves health.
