About the Royal College of Nursing
RCN is a membership organisation representing nurses and nursing, promoting excellence in practice and helping shape health policies.
100+ Years
Since 1916, the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has been promoting the vital importance of nursing staff.
It began as the College of Nursing, a professional organisation with just 34 members. Since then, it has evolved into the largest professional body and trade union for nursing staff in the world with close to half a million members.
20 Cavendish Square has been headquarters to the RCN since the early 1920s and today the space acts as a dedicated venue for the both the College and commercial events.
Not-for-Profit Venue
20 Cavendish Square is run as a not-for-profit venue, with all proceeds going to fund the work of the RCN. By choosing us to host your next event you will be helping to support nurses, midwives and students who are working to advance the nursing profession.
