Encapsulating RICS' anniversary celebration

Encapsulating RICS' 150th anniversary

RICS have invited The Queen to attend our Parliament Square HQ on 20 November.

While visiting our office, Her Majesty will seal a time capsule as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations. The time capsule will contain memorabilia of achievements throughout 2018, reflections on our previous 150 years as an organisation, and look forward to what the next 50 years will bring.

The time capsule will be re-opened in 2068, as RICS celebrate reaching the 200-year milestone.
