The Royal Albert Hall

Posted by Alex Turnbull, Wednesday, 24th August 2005

This is the world famous Royal Albert Hall, London’s most famous concert venue. It’s the home of The Proms and the largest pipe organ in the UK. Opened in 1871, its official name is ‘The Royal Albert Hall of Arts and Sciences’, and was built as a part of a memorial to Queen Victoria’s husband and consort, Prince Albert (Wikipedia page).

Thanks to Ian Bourke and Greg Askins.
