Royal Albert Hall

It's been a long while since I've visited the Royal Albert Hall but there was no finer venue than this to watch Arnold Schwarzenegger speak. The space is open and intriguing with the acoustic mushrooms hanging down from the ceiling. For a large venue, it is lit incredibly well and of course having circular seating you get a great view. The only real criticisms are that the space in front of the balcony chairs is a little small so not great if you're exceptionally tall and the price of food and drink at the venue is high. Otherwise, this is an absolutely fantastic venue to watch speakers or of course, see bands or orchestras play.

Been to this venue once before. Just like last time, busy and popular. The place is clean and tidy. Many pictures and snippets of history are placed all round the place to give you an insight to its history - performers, royalty etc.

Staff who work there are polite and courteous and were then happy to help with any question I had

Most recent show was Cirque Du Soleil - Algeria. Oh my god....what a performance. The stunts and acrobatics were amazing, the music was truly beautiful and the singers voices were captivating. The 2 clowns.....well.....they were a show in their own right.

Awesome day!!

We attended Christmas Carols here.
Location: Opposite to park. The bus stop is next to it.

Service/Entry: Smooth. The security was helpful and it was easy to get to the seats.

The hall is huge and majestic, the acoustics are exceptional.

The performance of the orchestra, choirs and the soloists was top notch. Not to forget the host, who raised the audience engagement to the next level at the end with the last carol.

Interactive event with sing-alongs of almost 5000 people.

The ticket was not cheap but it was worth the experience and what a better day than Christmas eve.

This is a truly historic & iconic venue. I've been here many times to watch movies with a live orchestra (Back to the Future, The Godfather, etc) and other performances. They have many events that take place. I would recommend signing up to their subscription list to see what tickles your fancy. As mentioned above, there's movies, music, and all types of other shows.

The staff here will greet you with a smile and are very friendly. There is a bar inside, but it's limited to snacks and drinks. We went to see 'an evening with Arnold Schwarzenegger', and it was tremendous. The auditorium held 4000 people, and it was amazing. We took public transport to get there, and it's a few minutes' walk from South Kensington tube station. However, you can drive, and there is parking nearby (you have to pay). If watching an even performance, I'd recommend grabbing a bite beforehand near South Kensington before heading to the venue. Enjoy your show!

Went to see cirque du soleil. Amazing. Was a real pleasure to see. The door system takes some getting used to. The door we wanted was 6 but had to walk round to 12 to enter. The cafe was heaving so no seats. Eventually found a bar on 1st floor. Expect to pay over £7 for a beer and £12 for a G&T. Staff friendly.

This is one of my favourite concert hall. Grandiose building in the best part of London. VISITORS TIP: no matter how expensive or modest your ticket price is, go around the building and you will find magic at the highest point

It’s an iconic concert venue for a variety of shows. We came here on a whim to see cirque du soleil.

The cafe just outside the building offered some quick bites before the show started. The ham and cheese croissant was tasty and reasonably priced.

A amazing Venue,everything about it was amazing,the staff were brilliant.
It is such a iconic venue,the bars were lovely,yes expensive but that would be the same for any city with this type of venue.
The sound and experience Inside was just brilliant.
We would definitely return when we can.
No queues anywhere very efficient.
Thank You Royal Albert Hall. 😀

Went to see Cirque Du Soleil with my Mother. Wow! What a show! They adapted it perfectly for the comparatively small stage as far as London Theatres go. The show was a stunning 10/10. If money was no option I'd go 7 nights a week.
The venue itself is living London History, the walkways are full of pictures of the biggest and best sporting and celebrity events in the last 100 plus years. The architecture is worth a journey alone!
It's a place everybody must visit before they die!

What a great venue. I bought the tour tickets to make a surprise to my dad. I was amazed at all the information that our guide was able to push through without feeling cluttered with information. The space itself is amazing, 24h for a full space rotation, the multiple event capacity. Just incredible

We came here in October to see Danny Elfman. Gorgeous venue inside and out. We found our door easily enough and there was a quick bag check upon entry. The stall seats were adequate in terms of comfort.

Such an amazing experience to see the music of Star Wars and John Williams played in the Royal Albert Hall. This was my first visit and it was very special. The size and scale of the auditorium is immense and the acoustics are just wonderful. If there is a concert on, make sure you go it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Watched Cirque du Soleil at The Royal Albert Hall. Absolutely incredible. Best show I’ve ever seen in a superb venue. Seats 7 rows from the stage.

Words simply cannot do justice to the experience we had at the Royal Albert Hall. We attended a Beethoven’s ninth concert by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra which concluded with the magical “Ode to joy” performance. What a phenomenal venue and what a phenomenal performance - one I’ll remember for the rest of my life!

Whole experience from entry to exit was smooth. Need to buy tickets in advance on their website. Book early as tickets sell out quickly. Venue is easily accessible by tube. We got seats in the last row for £29pp, which we felt was a steal. Seats were comfortable and we had a mind blowing view. Café inside had lots of food and drink options. Toilets were clean. Very less waiting for entry and to be seated. If you are in London, do try to visit for an orchestra or a movie concert or anything that suits your schedule.

What a beautiful venue. I came here for the Off Menu Live show and I honestly had the best time. The acoustics were great and the seat was comfy. We had tickets for one of the grand tier boxes and the view was brilliant. We definitely enjoyed ourselves a lot! The champagne bar was cool too!

This is the second time I visit it, and I always gets amazed.
The building is massive but still visibility is not a big problem! As well as the sound. Well worthy to pay the extra money if you want to see a show.
This time I went to see a film with the Royal Orchestra, and what a success. The experience is great.

Iconic London venue set in a circular building. I visited when there wasn’t a performance going on, so you could really only visit the gift shop. Everything else was closed off.

We went to the Royal Albert Hall to see Circus du Soleil - the show was excellent and the acrobatics was breathtaking. The show had a nice mix of comedy and skilled acrobatics. There was a 25 minute intermission and the show lasted in total about 1 hour 40 minutes- highly recommended and I would go again however the tickets are very expensive

Easily one of the nicest and most efficient venues I have visited. The staff was super nice and helpful directing me to my seat and navigating traffic when it people got lost. The seats on the sections just below the box level actually swivel so you'll never have a sore neck from turning your head. You can just rotate to see the stage. Acoustics are exceptional. You'll love what you hear. There are many bathrooms and bars and cafes inside the venue. The snacks are even almost reasonably priced. Be sure to buy a ticket in advance because you probably won't find one if you show up on the day of the show!

It has been nearly 30 years since I was last here performing. Still an amazing building with grace and history. Seats are very comfortable
