The National Trust is a heritage and nature conservation charity and membership organisation operating in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Founded in 1895, it works to preserve places of historic interest and natural beauty.

The Trust has received the building at 34–35 Maiden Lane in London, which houses Rules restaurant. The donation also includes historic items associated with the restaurant and its annual rent, which will support conservation work. The Trust says it will preserve the building and its contents while the restaurant continues to operate.
