There are lots of beautiful places and attractions in London that tourists could visit and most of them are historical places that could inform people with different stories carried from a long period of time. Royal Albert Hall in London is one of these places which is now undergoing some restorations.

Royal Albert Hall is astonishing from the inside as much as it is from the outside. This is actually a concert hall located in South Kensington, London, and it has been holding the prom concerts since a very long period of time, from 1941. Getting inside Royal Albert Hall is mesmerizing because once you step inside and see how huge it is, you will realize the reason it has been holding all those concerts; it actually has a capacity of 5,272 seats inside.

The story of this Royal Hall started back in 1871 when Queen Victoria opened it, and since that time, it has become one of the most famous, treasured and most distinctive buildings in the UK. Lots of leading artists from different performance genres appeared on the stage of the Royal Albert Hall, and even now it holds most of the important and notable concerts in London and the British culture; each year it hosts more than 390 shows in the main auditorium, including classical, rock and pop concerts, ballet, opera, film screenings with live orchestra, sports, award ceremonies, school and community events, charity performances and banquets, and all this comes apart from the concerts and events that happen in the non auditorium spaces.

The name of the hall goes back to Prince Albert since Queen Victoria considered it a memorial for him since it was build six years after his death, it was actually supposed to be called "Central Hall of Arts and Sciences" but ended up with this name. It is part of the other memorial built for Prince Albert and which is known as "Albert Memorial" that is found in Kensington Gardens, but today they are both separated by Kensington Gore ([ Ссылка ]).

The interesting thing about this hall is the food and drink which is offered there in the food restaurants that are open there at least two hours before the auditorium events; so if you are attending an event there, you could also get the chance to spend a good day there and have your meal before watching the show or the event.

There are different things for one to visit in London, but if you are searching for a place where you could at the same time attend a show or something like that then you could also go to the National Theatre and check what is there that you could find yourself interested in and attend ([ Ссылка ]).

Generally speaking, London is filled with lots of touristic attractions that one will visit during the stay in London and these attractions include the old buildings which will take the breath away with their look from the outside. From those which we personally love how they look like and at the same time love how they look in general, there is St. Paul's Cathedral that is known to be the second highest in the UK ([ Ссылка ]), we also love the Houses of Parliament ([ Ссылка ]) and the Royal Court of Justice ([ Ссылка ]), there is also Buckingham Palace ([ Ссылка ]) and of course we should mention Big Ben and the beauty of this clock tower found in London since a long period of time ([ Ссылка ]).

In addition to the historical attractions and the touristic places in the city of London, there are other places which those coming to London choose to go to even though they are not historical, such as those who love to visit Harry Potter Shop in Platform 9 3/4 to take photos and experience all the locations they have seen in the movies ([ Ссылка ]).
