Albert Hall

Kensington concert dome

The Royal Albert Hall is a concert venue in London, opened in 1871 and named after Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's husband.

It hosts classical concerts, rock performances, and the annual BBC Proms.

British speakers often drop "Royal": We saw Adele at the Albert Hall.

The venue's distinctive oval shape and domed roof make it an architectural landmark.
