London Music Venues London Classical Royal Albert HallRoyal Albert Hall
The Royal Albert Hall was built to fulfil the vision of Prince Albert (Queen Victoria's consort) of a 'Central Hall' that 
would be used to promote understanding and appreciation of the Arts and Sciences and would stand at the heart of the South Kensington estate, surrounded by museums and places of learning.
The Hall is a Grade I Listed building; and has been in continuous use since it was opened in March 1871. It hosts the annual Promenade Concerts (The Proms) and has done for nearly 70 of its 114 year run. Everybody who is or was anybody has played here. Past gems include: The Beatles and Rolling Stones playing on the same bill, The Jimi Hendrix Experience's final European appearance, Pink Floyd were banned for life for setting off 2 cannons in 1969 and Abba ended their European tour in 1977 here with 3.5 million requests for tickets, and so it goes on.
The views are spectacular, especially if you're lucky enough to secure a box and the acoustics and PA system are world class. Architecturally it's one of a kind and fits so perfectly with the surrounding mansion blocks and museums. Try to fit a visit into your itinerary - Wagner, Verdi and Elgar did.
Kensington Gore, SW7 2AP.
