Sans titre

During its time at 56 Queen Anne Street, the Royal Asiatic Society, sublet some of its rooms on the Ground floor. Permission was given for the tenancy by the British-Italian Society in 1947 and these rooms were later let to the Embroiderers' Guild who remained until 1960, when the rooms were let to Mr J. Harris, an architect. The Society had to seek permission of usage for commercial purposes from Howard de Walden Estates. By 1967, Mr Ralph Tubbs was occupying these rooms. There was also correspondence with the surveyors regarding the possibility of leasing rooms at the rear of the premises. In 1977, the Royal Anthropological Institute took over the tenancy for both these areas and remained at Queen Anne Street until the Society vacated the premises.
