Always 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.
Rachel WheatleyJune 15, 2014
Just 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, 2015
Greatt acoustics Big auditorium. What an experience. Don't get Stall seats though there's no leg room.
Constantine ZarnarisNovember 11, 2015
Awe inspiring place, always an experience to visit. However avoid the standing tickets in the Gallery, especially for electrical concerts! Poor sound and sight.

Loggia boxes, well worth the extra. Get the front seats, ledge to rest your libretto. Coat hooks, comfy cosy space hmmm : )

Fantastic hall! Came here for Amaluna Cirque de Soleil

18 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.
Lion Witch WardrobeMay 10, 2012
Doesn’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!

Most BBC organised concerts are the best highlights of the year here; the Proms(ended last night) to the Big Sing (today). Yum...

It is a great national monument but tends to be an acoustic disappointment for classical concerts.

Whatever you go to watch or listen to there, it is one hell of an experience. Always class acts playing.

Beautiful architecture of the building, just in front of Albert Memorial

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!
