   Got to see two shows recently and both were fantastic. Firstly, one of the important things, does it matter much where you sit! In my opinion, while some seating areas are obviously better than others you will always have a decent view. The stalls are like any other theatre where you simply have the choice of how close you want to be. There are then two levels of what they call the second tier boxes which we loved! These seems to have just 4 or 6 free standing seats so you can shift about a bit, loads of legroom and very private an exclusive feeling. You can also order drinks for the interval via an app (subject to a minimum order value) that are brought to your box. Above these are the ‘Rausing Circle’ which are the lower priced seats, quite high up, but still offer a really good view. There’s load of info’ if you do some searching online. There’s other great thing at the Royal Albert Hall that many other venues cant give and that’s the amazing acoustics. Some seating areas are better than others (back to your online research) but wherever you are the sound travels around so much better than watching the same concert at your local town hall might! There’s plenty of bars for pre and mid show drinks, a couple of good restaurants in the building (surprisingly few less than a cab/tube ride away). Staff are all really friendly and helpful, venue is clean, tidy and very much as you’d expect ‘something special’ to be. If you have a chance to watch one of your favourites here I’d highly recommend it as worth paying that bit more for.

   A truly memorable evening at the Royal Albert Hall. We attended the concert “Christmas at the Royal Albert Hall", featuring an orchestra and a large choir, and it was simply wonderful. The performance itself was beautiful, and the hosting was equally engaging and charming, creating a warm and festive atmosphere throughout the evening. One of the highlights was how thoughtfully the audience was involved. The programmes included the lyrics for selected hymns and carols, inviting the audience to sing along with the choir. This created a joyful sense of shared experience and made the concert feel especially inclusive and celebratory. We were seated in a box on one of the tiers and, as it happened, had the box entirely to ourselves. This made the experience feel particularly comfortable and intimate. Sitting in a box offers a completely different perspective and atmosphere, more relaxed and quietly special. It is also worth noting that there is the option to order food and drinks directly to the box, which adds to the overall sense of comfort and ease. Overall, the visit felt elegant and thoroughly enjoyable, a perfect way to experience a Christmas concert, and a visit we will remember fondly.

   If you enjoy Victorian architecture this is a must see, the premier venue for live classical and rock concerts. If you take the the tour inside it’s pretty cool as well, but warning if there is a rehearsal ongoing in the auditorium you cannot take photographs but it’s still worth seeing .

   The Royal Albert Hall is nothing short of magnificent — a world-class venue that captures the very best of British culture, history, and performance. From the moment you approach its iconic circular façade, you can feel the sense of grandeur and occasion that sets it apart. Inside, the atmosphere is breathtaking. The auditorium’s architecture, with its sweeping balconies and signature domed ceiling, creates a sense of awe before the performance even begins. The acoustics are truly exceptional — warm, clear, and immersive — making everything from orchestral concerts to contemporary performances feel utterly spellbinding. The staff are consistently professional, friendly, and attentive, adding to the sense of being somewhere truly special. Every visit feels seamless and welcoming, whether you’re attending a major national event or a more intimate performance. What makes the Royal Albert Hall unforgettable is its unique blend of history and living culture. You’re not just watching a show — you’re part of a long tradition of music, ceremony, and celebration in one of the world’s greatest venues. A truly iconic hall where every visit feels like a privilege. An absolute must-experience for anyone visiting London.

   I attended Angham’s concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London on September 23, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment she appeared on stage, her powerful voice and emotional performance captivated the entire audience. The event was very well organized by Live Nation, everything ran smoothly, and the atmosphere was elegant and professional. The Royal Albert Hall itself is an iconic and historic venue that adds a unique grandeur to the evening. The lounges, such as the Bridge Lounge & Bar, were stylish and refined, adding a luxurious touch. However, I was genuinely surprised by the seating. With ticket prices exceeding £1,000, the chairs were very basic and clearly not renewed for many years. When paying such an amount, we expect the level of comfort and service to match the value we are investing. London has become very expensive in many aspects, yet the quality offered does not always reflect the high cost. Overall, Angham delivered a breathtaking performance, the organization was excellent, and the venue remains iconic. With some updates to the seating and a better balance between pricing and value, the experience would truly be flawless.

   The Royal Albert Hall is magnificent! It's huge and beautiful. I went for a musical concert and was in awe of its grandeur. It has different floors that lead to each side of the gallery depending on the seat you want to take. The staff are on ground and ever ready to help with directions. If you ever have the chance to visit, take the opportunity!

   Wow what a place, would have loved to give it 6 stars! I'd never came here before and on this visit we went for a behind the scenes tour followed by afternoon tea. The tour was hosted by a passionate and really friendly woman. She was so knowledge and had an amazing memory. The afternoon tea was delicious, there was an amazing range of sandwiches, scones and cakes. Everything was delicious and good portion sizes. Even got cake to take home.
