About Us
Step Inside and Think Outside
As the home of cultural innovators, Somerset House is a site of origination, with a homegrown, multidisciplinary cultural programme offering alternative perspectives on the biggest issues of our time. We are a place of joy and discovery at the meet point of artistic and social innovation: a centre for ideas where everyone is invited to ‘Step Inside and Think Outside,’ regardless of age, professional stage or background.
Ours is a spirit of constant curiosity and new perspectives, characteristics both integral to our history and key to our future. From our historic site in the heart of London – a storied and celebrated network of neoclassical, Georgian-era buildings – we work globally across arts, creative, business, and non-profit sectors to nurture and foster new talent, methodologies and technologies. Our resident community of in-house innovators – creative startups, arts organisations, artists and makers – all contribute to our unique culture of innovation and invention.
