The head office is located in London.The Society's mission is to generate, communicate and promote ecological knowledge and solutions and it achieves this through a wide range of activities. It disseminates academic research through its internationally renowned journals, organises major scientific meetings, awards many grants each year to support the ecological community, is active in informing and influencing policy makers, and works to improve the teaching and learning of ecology in schools. In 2013 the Society celebrated its centenary, organising a wide range of events and activities including a major public engagement programme of over 140 events across the United Kingdom.

The Coldbath Fields riot took place in Clerkenwell, London, on 13 May 1833. It began as a meeting organised by the National Union of the Working Classes (NUWC), a political organisation associated with the Southwark-based Rotunda radicals. The NUWC called for the extension of the electoral franchise beyond that granted in the Reform Act of 1832 and opposed the Metropolitan Police, which had been established in 1829, as an infringement of civil liberties. The Whig government of Lord Grey opposed the meeting and Home Secretary Lord Melbourne declared it illegal. The police infiltrated the NUWC in the run-up to the meeting and planned to disperse it. There are varying figures for the number present at the meeting of between 70 and 600 police officers and 300 to 6,000 members of the public. Both Commissioners of Police of the Metropolis, Sir Charles Rowan and Sir Richard Mayne, were present and two British Army officers stood by to summon military reinforcements if needed. It is disputed which side started the violence but Rowan led a number of baton charges that dispersed the crowd and arrested the NUWC leaders. The crowd were pursued into side streets and a portion were trapped in Calthorpe Street. Three police officers were stabbed and one, Constable Robert Culley, was killed. There were few serious injuries inflicted on members of the public. A coroner's jury ruled Culley's death was justifiable homicide as the police had failed to read the Riot Act and been heavy handed in their dispersal of the crowd. This verdict was overturned by a government appeal to the High Court of Justice, but no man was brought to trial for Culley's murder. George Fursey was charged with the wounding of the other two officers but was acquitted by a jury at the Old Bailey. The coroner's jury, who had been feted by the Radicals, complained to the House of Commons. A select committee investigated the riot and largely exonerated the police, noting that Melbourne's declaration of the meeting as illegal was invalid as it had not been signed.

Trinity Court, Gray's Inn Road is a 9-storey / 8 floor Art Deco residential apartment block located at 254 Gray's Inn Road, London, built in between 1934 and 1935 by Taperell and Haase architectural practice.The building comprises a total of 90 similarly sized flats. The flats were originally built as studios with a main living area with a pair of Murphy beds and built in cupboards, a separate kitchen and a bathroom, and balcony. Most have now been converted into small one bedroom flats in recent years (by having an open plan kitchen in the main living area and building a separate bedroom where the separate kitchen used to be). The name of the building comes from Holy Trinity Church, designed by Sir James Pennethorne and erected in 1837. Restored in 1880, it seated 1500 people and was in use until 1928. After the church closed, the ground was sold in 1931, and Trinity Court was built on the site a few years later. Painted in white, with contrasting balconies and windows frames decorated in bleu celeste colour, the building featured in the 1986 London-based film Mona Lisa starring Bob Hoskins., and also in the 2016 film City of Tiny Lights, with Riz Ahmed, Cush Jumbo and Billie Piper. Both films feature a character who is a high class sex worker, living in Trinity Court. Both films also make use of the original cage lift for dramatic scenes of peril. Despite its modernist and imposing Art Deco style, it does not appear on Historic England's documentation of Listed buildings. Similar Art Deco residential buildings in London include Florin Court, Cholmeley Lodge and Du Cane Court.
