ROYAL OVER-SEAS LEAGUE
The Royal Over-Seas League (ROSL) was founded on 27 August 1910 as the vision of one man, Sir Evelyn Wrench to create a London home for international collaboration, culture and conversation and in 191 King George V becomes the first Royal Patron and ROSL was granted a Royal Charter in 1922 when Vernon House, London was purchased as a permanent war memorial and opened by the Duke of York. In 1933 Rutland House, Six Park Place was purchased from the Dowager Duchess of Rutland, demolished and then rebuilt as part of Over-Seas House. The Royal Over-Seas League is a unique not for profit members’ organisation, dedicated to championing international friendship and understanding within the Commonwealth and beyond. For over seventy years, ROSL has also proudly supported the careers of young musicians and artists in the Commonwealth and more recently Europe and USA, through a prestigious annual programme of competitions, scholarships, residencies, concerts and events. In 2024 His Majesty King Charles III accepts the role of Patron for the Royal Over-Seas League.
