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
London Symphony OrchestraSeptember 16, 2011The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra plays here in this fabulous venue, also home to the BBC Proms each summer. All sorts of other music, comedy and sport (!) too.
Lydia BerkennouJanuary 27, 2015Beautiful venue. It's a must seen from the outside but in the inside too!
Magno Cezar de OliveiraOctober 11, 2016Pretty Beautiful. My dream comes true! We watched there a Wonderful show of Brit Floyd on Oct. 10th. 2016.
Rachel WheatleyJune 15, 2014Just paid £2.50 for a bottle of water so bring your own refreshments if you can! That includes alcohol too. Kensington prices are stomach wrenchingly outrageous!
Jah RahmanMarch 30, 2015Greatt acoustics Big auditorium. What an experience. Don't get Stall seats though there's no leg room.
Constantine ZarnarisNovember 11, 2015Awe inspiring place, always an experience to visit. However avoid the standing tickets in the Gallery, especially for electrical concerts! Poor sound and sight.- Wayne Summers-TaylorNovember 28, 2011Always will be one of the worlds finest concert halls and home for over 100 years to the World's greatest classical music festival, the BBC Proms.
If you see a member of staff, ask them to buy your food for you... they get 30% off! ;)
Loggia boxes, well worth the extra. Get the front seats, ledge to rest your libretto. Coat hooks, comfy cosy space hmmm : )
EurovisionAugust 19, 2011The 1968 Eurovision Song Contest was held here, touch the walls and get connected to the Eurovision history. Then take a photo and share the experience!
Lion Witch WardrobeMay 10, 2012Doesn’t this look like it should be in Narnia? Be sure to stop by Kensington Gardens and pick up your tickets to see The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe live on stage today!
Martin TiedemannMay 20, 201218 August: Go to the Proms. While the Victorian concerts were priced at the equivalent of just 5p, tickets to the modern Proms start at a still reasonable £5.
Lori-Jo SMarch 13, 2018Try to take a tour the day of a concert - you never know who you’ll see soundchecking.
Most BBC organised concerts are the best highlights of the year here; the Proms(ended last night) to the Big Sing (today). Yum...
- Ruslan4ik Kafftan4ikOctober 20, 2014The interior is top class! Quality sounding surpasses everything!
Box 22 is the place to be! Bar service is always slow though.
Whatever you go to watch or listen to there, it is one hell of an experience. Always class acts playing.
It is a great national monument but tends to be an acoustic disappointment for classical concerts.
Mesmerising mix of modern ballet, comedy, acrobatics and live music
If possible, get seats as low as possible; the sound was not so good at the highest seating level and the temperature was very hot!
David MillerSeptember 22, 2018I really need to go here more, each time I do i love it more and more.
Billy SayersJanuary 1, 2018Nice venue but could do with extending their beer offerings to craft beers.
- Time Out LondonFebruary 23, 2012Built as a memorial to Queen Victoria's husband in 1871, the Royal Albert Hall's vast rotunda was once described by the monarch as looking like 'the British constitution'. Read more
Get seats in the choirs, you get a bands eye view of the hall and can watch the lightning conductors casting spells onb
The asahi bar is the least busiest generally of all the bars but servers pretty much all the same as the others, including champers :)

"If you were looking for a place with tables to study outside of your home, this is a marvelous one. Provided you can work with some noise, but for course. And sometimes with live orchestral music."
Luke Kpaint - 8.3
