The Royal Over-Seas League (ROSL) is a not-for-profit institution founded in 1910, dedicated to promoting international friendship pursuant to its royal charter, an ethos which binds its global membership.
ROSL has a Grade I listed clubhouse in the heart of St James's, London, and a programme of events including a public affairs series which focusses on geopolitical issues, concerts, art exhibitions, and fine food and wine occasions.
The extensive heritage Clubhouse includes a dining room, over 80 bedrooms, events spaces and a beautiful garden overlooking Green Park where members enjoy al fresco dining in the summer.
ROSL promotes young musicians and artists, through a widespread arts programme including ROSL's Annual Music Competition which is over 70 years old.
