Royal Albert Hall

The Royal Albert Hall is one of the UK's most treasured buildings, built as a memorial to Prince Albert and opened by Queen Victoria in 1871. This Victorian amphitheatre hosts more than 390 events a year, from the BBC Proms each summer to concerts, comedy and family shows the rest of the year. Guided tours run daily when the diary allows. The red-brick exterior and terracotta frieze make it an unmissable South Kensington landmark.
