**The William Buckland Room at The Geological Society is a stylish meeting room for hire in Mayfair.**

The basement room was converted for use as a committee room in 1988 when bookcases were installed to house the library's collection of rare books.

The Rev. William Buckland was a fellow of the Royal Society (1818) and Professor of Mineralogy at the University of Oxford. He became Oxford's first Reader in Geology (1819) and was President of the Geological Society from 1824-26 when the Society obtained its Royal Charter.

Lower Library

**Founded in 1807 by 13 gentlemen over dinner, The Geological Society is the oldest national geological society in the world.** 
 
The Society has resided in Burlington House, which is a Grade II listed building in the heart of Central London, since 1874. 
 
The Geological Society setting and facilities provide a stunning and welcoming environment for day time conferences, meetings and events,  receptions and intimate dinners. 
 
Located on the ground floor, the lecture Theatre and Lower Library provides an inviting setting for conferences. 

The Meeting Room is accessible through two doors from the Lower Library. This room is used for lectures and meetings of Society and related organisations. 

Refurbished as a lecture theatre in 1972-73, it had formerly been laid out in 'Parliamentary' style, the President seated on a throne-like chair on a raised dais at the end of the room. 

The Theatre was refurbished with help from the Society's Petroleum Group in 1999, and then again for the Bicentenary in 2007. 

It was named the Janet Watson Lecture Theatre in 2009, in honour of Professor Janet Vida Watson FRS (1923-1985), of Imperial College London, the Society's first woman President (1982-1984).

The Lower Library was originally the Society's Main Library when the first floor rooms housed its museum collection. 

It is now used mainly to store foreign periodicals and is used for social gatherings and for refreshments when scientific meetings are being held in the Lecture Theatre.
