Member facilities
Make the most of the facilities at Savoy Place.
A modern and dynamic hub, our Faraday Centre is available to support our members and volunteers – providing a comfortable and practical base, whether meeting fellow engineers or carrying out research.
2024 Christmas shutdown
Please note our venue will be closed from 12pm GMT on Tuesday, 24 December and reopen on Thursday, 2 January 2025.
The Faraday Kitchen will only serve chilled food on 23 December 2024 and 2 and 3 January 2025.
