Institution of Civil Engineers

A grand, historic building with classical architecture features an arched entrance leading to a warmly lit interior, symbolizing the Institution of Civil Engineers' rich history and architectural significance.

Professional body founded in London in 1818, the world's oldest engineering institution. Its early Proceedings were the forum where industrial Britain argued out questions of practice — bridge design, steam-engine governance, the strength of iron — and where Joseph Whitworth first published his proposal for a uniform screw thread in 1841. It still occupies its Great George Street headquarters near Westminster.
