Featured Article: Royal Albert Hall
The Royal Albert Hall is a concert hall on the northern edge of South Kensington, London, England. Known as the "Nation's Village Hall," it hosts events that range from music and art, to sport and science. It is the venue for the BBC Proms concerts, which have been held there every summer since 1941. Opened in 1871 by Queen Victoria, the hall is named in memory of her husband, Prince Albert, who had the original vision for such a venue but died prior to the laying of the foundation stone.
