Royal Albert Hall
 Royal Albert Hall ... Albert. It is situated in in the South Kensington area of London, England. The hall was originally to have been called The Central Hall of Arts and Sciences, but the name was changed by Queen Victoria when laying the foundation stone.

The hall also accommodates the largest pipe organ in the UK, and is the home of The Proms.Newest Review: ... if that's more to do with John Barrowman's crew than the RAH. Still, all the best acts want to play at the Royal Albert Hall and having been there I can see why.

Collecting tickets from the RAH on the day of the event is easy and ... Read the complete review

As part of the London Pass, my parents (who are visiting from Australia) and I took the tour of Royal Albert Hall. Royal Albert Hall is an amazing music venue. Tours start at around £6.00 and start on the half hour, and last an hour. The tour commences with a history lesson on the building of Royal Albert Hall and how the funds were raised. It goes into detail of Prince Alberts death and the impacts to Queen Victoria. The tour then takes you into a box seat, and shows where the Royal Box is and the queens entrance and private retiring room.
