A true Victorian marvel, this colossal South Kensington landmark first opened its doors in 1871 directly opposite Hyde Park’s spectacular gilded monument to its namesake, Prince Albert. Best known as the summer home of the BBC Proms—two months of nightly classical concerts with a relaxed vibe and affordable tickets—it also hosts massive gala concerts and operatic arena spectaculars, making full use of its huge, circular main hall.
