The Academy cafeteria is located in the main Academy building, but is mainly for students and is only open during term time. It is not suitable for school groups or large groups. There are many cafes and restaurants on Baker Street or Marylebone High Street, both of which are a short walk from the Museum. Regent’s Park, just around the corner, can be a good spot for a picnic lunch in the warmer months.

Getting here

The closest tube stations are Regent’s Park and Baker Street. Bus numbers 27, 30, 88, 205 and 253 stop almost directly outside the Academy.

If arriving by coach or minibus, please use the private road in front of the main Academy building’s entrance to drop off visitors. There is no parking available on site for coaches or other vehicles.
