base2stay™ hotel near the Royal Albert Hall
The Royal Albert Hall is less than 1 mile from the base2stay™ Kensington hotel.
The Royal Albert Hall of Arts & Sciences - to give it it's proper title - is an arts venue dedicated in 1871 by Queen Victoria to her husband and consort, Prince Albert, who died aged 42.
The hall was originally to have been called the Central Hall of Arts & Sciences, but the name was changed by Queen Victoria when laying the foundation stone.
It forms the practical part of a national memorial to the prince consort - the decorative part is the Albert Memorial directly to the north in Kensington Gardens, now separated from the hall by the heavy traffic along Kensington Gore.
The hall also accommodates the largest pipe organ in the UK, and is the home of The Proms.
The BBC Promenade Concerts, founded by Sir Henry Wood - now the world's largest festival of western classical music - have been held in the hall every summer since 1941.
The last night of The Proms is broadcast in several countries.
