Queen Victoria had it built as part of her husband's dream to bring the arts to people. He died before it was finished and when the hall opened, she was so overcome by emotions, her son had to announce its opening.
It hosts a variety of shows such as operas, comedy, boxing and tennis. It is most famously known for 'The Proms' which is an annual classical festival.
Tickets begin at 5 pounds so there are some affordable seats. But even if you never see a show there, its a great example of Victorian architecture.
All the Best!
