The Academy's aim is to create an inspiring, informative yet relaxed environment where lecturers, members and their guests can enjoy a learning and social experience around a series of lectures and courses drawn from all areas of the arts and science.

These events will take place at the Academy located in London's Notting Hill and will include a lecture, Question and Answer session. Light refreshments will be provided free of charge.

Lectures will be kept to an intimate maximum number of 50 participants. They will be held in the Dilletante Room on the ground floor, with the opportunity to meet the speaker and mingle upstairs in the Decadante Room on the Academy's upper floor, in an eclectic setting recalling the atmosphere of literary salons of the past.
