The Romney Street Group (also known as RSG) is a British current affairs and lunch club. The RSG was founded in 1917 as an early form of think tank. The first chairman was Thomas Jones, who was Deputy Secretary to the Cabinet under four successive prime ministers. According to a 2007 article in Twentieth Century British History, "dining groups were amongst the most common of [informal] networks; and the Romney Street Group, which has been existence in various guises since 1917, is eminent amongst them."^[1] Since the 1960s the RSG has hosted a weekly lunchtime during the academic term.
