The Royal Albert Hall
Open most days except Wednesdays. Five tours a day to choose from.

Get yourself up front and soak up the truly unique atmosphere of one of the most prestigious music perfomance spaces in the world! Built in 1871, it has hosted everyone from Sinatra to Santana, from Pavorotti to the Police!! The Beatles played here. George Harrison played his one and only UK gig here (with Ringo on drums). It was also the venue for his remembrance concert. The Cream played their famed 'farewell' concert here - and their reunion one 30 years later. Pink Floyd played here. And so did Hendrix. Frank Zappa shot scenes for his film '200 Motels' here, and was banned! And who else? Yes, the Who. And yes, Yes. And Deep Purple played with a symphony orchestra.

You'll see preparations for a show, and peek into the auditorium, as the Hall prepares to open its doors for the next show. You never quite know who might be rehersing! Highlights of the tour include the fabulous auditorium, exclusive access to the Royal Retiring Room, a look inside the Queen's Box and a fascinating presentation featuring a selection of the huge range of events that take place at the Hall.

Adults: £8.00
Concession: £7.00

Up to 2 children under 16 free of charge when accompanied by 1 paying adult

Site of the legendary sixties UFO Club, the Roundhouse continues to be one of London's premier gig sites. It was here, in a converted Victorian steam engine and gin barrel storage shed, that a young Pink Floyd and Soft Machine took part in 'happenings' in support of the underground movement's house newspaper IT. Other seminal artists performing here included Jimi Hendrix and the Doors (their only UK gig). More recently Kasabian, Jarvis Cocker, Paul McCartney, The Chemical Brothers, The Beastie Boys, The Who, Morrissey and James Brown have done their thing here!

Visit, admire, have a coffee while you take a break from exploring the exciting neighbourhood of Camden. But keep your eyes open as you never quite know who you might see in a suburb favoured as a living base over the years by bands and artists ranging over the years from Oasis, to Madness and more recently Amy Whitehouse.

And while you're in the area check out pubs with musical heritage and modern attitude!

The Who singer Roger Daltrey has loaned the tassled outfit he wore on stage at Woodstock, while Sir Mick Jagger has given an Ossie Clark-designed 1970s jumpsuit. David Bowie has handed over his Ashes To Ashes clown suit and a classic Ziggy Stardust costume. A vintage dress worn by Amy Winehouse in her Tears Dry On Her Own video and a live DVD can be seen. Noel Gallagher's iconic Union Jack guitar is on show, along with guitars played by Paul Weller, Marc Bolan and Blur. The memorabilia is accompanied by footage of the objects in action, while fans can explore the history of pop and rock in a series of hi-tech zones.

Visitors can scroll through a giant timeline, search a map containing 4,000 British rock and pop landmarks, and learn about record players and radiograms in a lesson about recording formats.
