Vigilantly watched over by a statue of Prince Albert from Hyde Park, The Royal Albert Hall is one of the finest examples of Victorian splendour in all the country. Located on the northern edge of Kensington, a simple 15-minute walk from The Harrington, this immense space has been the famous of the annual Proms festival since 1941. However, the 5,272 seats of the Hall are often sold out throughout the year thanks to the fantastic calendar of events from classical recitals and operas to Cirque du Soleil and charity comedy events.
