Very Good ServiceJune 4, 2012Another of our favourite concert venue in London. A beautiful architecture and acoustic for a concert hall, right in the centre of LondonUpvoted 4 days ago
Hannah JessicaJanuary 15, 2019Went to see Cirque de Soleil (Totem) here which was incredible. It is amazing how they were able to seemlessly incorporate the different moving sets into such an old building.

Karis PageSeptember 25, 2019The Royal Albert Hall never fails to blow my mind. I have been here a handful of times for concerts, cinematic experiences and live performances. Every event here has been terrific! Simply, beautiful.
Shamsa AbdulrahmanDecember 9, 2019GORGEOUS hall for musicals /concerts / films in concert. Stalls J, K, L r the best! Their online booking is a mess but u can sort it in their box office. There's a bus stop right in front of the hall
FaAugust 30, 2017One of my favourite places in London❤️ the concerts here are amazing I really feel like I'm in another universe that only celebrates music
The TelegraphJuly 11, 2012The Ignite brunch at the Royal Albert Hall may not be the most culinary impressive, but the setting and live entertainment make it special. Each session includes performances from talented musicians.
Zeynep Yahsi MergenSeptember 10, 2018Undoubtedly it is a sanctuary for music lovers but even if you're not one of them, you must give the ambiance try!
Richard DickinsJune 8, 2018This really is a great place. Note that in some of the Loggia boxes, there are pillars that obscure the view - check very carefully! Also knee-room is very limited in the Boxes. But Great otherwise!
Giorgi MerebashviliSeptember 29, 2016Wow what an amazing venue so close to the artist and acoustics are amazing, vip dinner was stunning but may be not necessary for bjork concert
Nicole MillsNovember 1, 2023A must do experience in London! A magnificent concert venue. If you’re not dining at the on site restaurant, there are snacks & drinks.
Ed LSeptember 30, 2016If you fancy a pre-show drink and the nearby pubs are rammed, try Bar 190 at the Grove Hotel. Pricey but nice - and close to the RAH. Better than queuing for drinks inside the venue.
Mine YorukAugust 4, 2017Go to the BBC Prom and listen to beautiful music in a mesmerizing atmosphere. Don't forget to have a glass of wine during break.
This Sunday morning event of Elgar Room Classical Coffee Morning series at Royal Albert Hall with a tenor and piano was very cool and relaxing, don't miss it if you are in London.
James FergusonApril 15, 2022It’s as amazing as you are led to believe. What a venue. We saw Cirque du Soleil and it did not disappoint. Seats swivel so you can see all the action.
Otel.comOctober 11, 2011Holding concerts of The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, and events attended by personalities like The Queen and the Dalai Lama, this hall never fails to hold great shows. Box Office open 9am - 9pm daily.
Michael GreenbergJuly 15, 2023Beautiful place for a concert. If you have the option to order food to your seat, do it! Worth the splurge. You will feel like royalty.
Régis PouletJanuary 26, 2015Had the most amazing sound quality ever in that venue ! We thought the intro of the gig was a tape, but it was the band actually playing ! The place is beautiful !
Yarn LamApril 1, 2015Try their different tours other than the Grand Tour. Went on a special Behind the Scenes tour and got to look at the bowels of the RAH. Guide Christie was wonderful and accommodating.
Simply the best... Stalls seats are my favourite - if a box is unavailable... ;)
Byron FizpatrickDecember 22, 2013Built by the Vikings, the Royal Albert Hall is where these Norse overlords made Christians captured in battle fight their specially trained duelling monkeys. Totally recommend the tour of the crypts.
Bijan YoungNovember 1, 2017The old lady is an icon and worthy of listening to most things but especially classical music. The tiered stalls and the boxes tend to be my favourite seats
Evening StandardMay 11, 2012The glass and wrought-iron dome and great mosaic frieze are instantly recognisable, and the grandeur of the hall’s main room and unbeatable acoustics are the envy of venue curators the world over. Read more
Darshna PatelJanuary 21, 2018Beautiful venue, saw Cirque du soleil: OVO, which was great! Had a soya hot Choco from their rhubarb cafe and it was delicious!
KarenMarch 5, 2017Amazing hall. Just amazing. The tour is well worth the cost. The tour guide was so knowledgeable and funny.
Carl GriffinDecember 26, 2015Stunning acoustic. Take a tour to learn all about its construction. You will also visit the Royal box.
Camila MiwaJanuary 31, 2015Great place to watch concerts and presentations. I have watched the cirque du soleil, the prices were fair and the seats well located!
OliviaJune 13, 2015Gorgeous place for concerts. Impressive architecture, also the surrounding buildings are worth a look if you're in the vicinity.- Bijan YoungNovember 1, 2017Latest visit was Carmina Burana. Outstanding theatre to listen to 400 voices and the phili. Will be etched in memory always.
Joanne MoussaOctober 10, 2014Take the guided tour inside the hall, great story to learn! If you're lucky enough, you'll get to hear a live rehearsal as well!
Ierax HolargeusJanuary 21, 2022Great hall to enjoy your favourite artists there. Stalls are good but, if one has the budget, it makes sense to go for seats in the booths. Amazing experience.
IpekMarch 20, 2015Watch an opera at the Royal Albert Hall, and then it'll be your favourite venue. Incredible atmosphere..
- Natasha 'Tashster' BrassingtonAugust 29, 2016Home of the proms, the legendary BBC proms, home of classical music and just the most spectacular venue for classics.
Lu B.May 20, 2013get to the venue earlier and choose one of the Bars on the 1st or 2nd floor.. with some luck you will enjoy the sound check as an extra show!
Thas SethAugust 3, 2019If you want cheap tickets and a place for your drink, find the rousing circle P seats on row 4, seats 13-25. I paid 7 £ 50 for my seat in row 4, seat 15.
Cyndie Da RochaNovember 1, 2017Stunning venue. Think about a dinner out before going, as there are not restaurants around, except the 2 ones in the RAH.
- Eduardo CastroFebruary 3, 2016Amazing concert hall. I was here for a show of Pixar theme songs and I loved it!
Holly MansonOctober 14, 2014Marvellous building. Drinks are overpriced but it is worth to go once in life. Book it in advance or it will be sold out!
Ross CookDecember 26, 2015The Christmas Carols by Candlelight each year is great fun with a perfect combination of listening and audience participation!
Gary HorSeptember 26, 2016Cool looking building. Iconic is the word. Access is via Door 12. They have a cafe and free washroom facilities.
Emanuelle HerreraJune 15, 2015If you are just visiting, the guided tour worth it. Especially if you have interest in history. Students have discount.- Boon KohJuly 28, 2013Newly renovated Cafe Bar on the ground floor. Perfect for a light bite and drinks! Reasonable pricing too.
Ezryn ZarofMay 13, 2017The hall is smaller than I imagined, but loving the layout and architecture! 1 movie down, another 7 to go 😅 #HarryPotter
Anthony JohnsonMay 10, 2016Great venue. Like a lot of London venues, a glass of wine is rediculously priced so bring your own!
Time Out LondonMarch 28, 2012To the most fair weather of British music fans, the RAH is, and always will be, synonymous with the last night of the Proms, and all that goes with it. Read more
