Albert Hall
The Royal Albert Hall: Entertainment fit for Royalty
One of England’s much loved attractions is the Royal Albert Hall, a grand arts venue found in the Knightsbridge region of the borough of Westminster in London. Being one of the most prominent structures in London, it is famed the world over.
Opened to the public by Queen Victoria herself in 1871, it has become a stage for performances by artists from many genres. With over 350 performances held throughout the year, the range includes concerts of many musical genres, ballet and opera, ceremonies and much more. However, the Royal Albert Hall is best known for the annual summer Proms concert which has been held ever since 1941.
The Royal Albert Hall was originally to have been named the Central Hall of Arts and Sciences, but was later changed to Royal Albert Hall of Arts and Sciences as a dedication to Queen Victoria’s beloved late husband and consort Prince Albert. The memorial itself to Prince Albert, the Albert Memorial is found in the northern parts of Kensington Gardens which is detached from the Royal Albert Hall due to traffic reasons. The Hall itself is the largest and best known building in the cultural compound which is affectionately named Albertopolis. Some of the most popular events held at the Royal Albert Hall include The Proms, Cream’s Farewell Concert, Concerto for Group and Orchestra, Eurovision Song Contest 1968 and Concert for George to mark the first year death anniversary of George Harrison. Other performances have included the likes of the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and The Who to name a few.
Take the time to enjoy some of the marvellous events that this venue has planned which offer a great cultural experience to beholders and much more. Opt to stay at a Central London hotel in the vicinity of the attraction such as Elysee Hotel. This quaint hotel offers charming accommodation along with warm hospitality for a relaxing and comfortable stay.
