This weekend saw more than 800 venues across London take part in Open House, an annual opportunity for members of the public to see inside some of the capital's most iconic buildings for free, with ROSL opening its doors throughout Saturday and Sunday. 

If any of you have spent time in Drawing Room at the London clubhouse, you may have noticed a small collection of books in one corner; The Members' Library. This has recently been expanded to offer much more choice for those wanting to sit back and relax with a good book. 

The London clubhouse plays host to a new exhibition from today, NO SPACE, a collaboration between ROSL ARTS and BEARSPACE, with the private view taking place this evening. Guest wishing to attend, please RSVP here
