Few buildings in London carry as much cultural weight as the Royal Albert Hall. Opened in 1871 as a monument to Prince Albert’s vision of promoting the arts and sciences, it remains one of Britain’s great Victorian splendours. The circular brick and terracotta exterior, crowned with its glass and wrought-iron dome, is instantly recognisable. Inside, the famous “mushroom” acoustic diffusers hang from the ceiling, creating both a visual signature and a listening environment unlike any other.
