Located on Queen Street since 1848, the Royal College of Physicians buildings contain many beautiful Georgian and Victorian rooms. Our mission remains close to the founders' ideals: namely to promote the highest standards in medicine and this is reflected throughout the buildings. One highlight is Number Eight - the first house built in Queen Street - a classic Georgian townhouse designed by Robert Adam�for Robert�Orde�the Chief Baron of the Court of the Exchequer. It was used to host his private parties which were attended by great figures�of the day, including the philosopher David Hume. Much of Adam's impressive interiors including spectacular plasterwork ceilings survives.
