Live music venues
From the rowdy rock atmosphere of the Walkabout to
the sophistication of ballet in-the-round at the Royal Albert Hall,
life's better with live music.
First class
Two of the world's most famous live music venues, Earl's Court
and the Royal Albert Hall, are only a short walk from 32 Russell Road.
You have to plan well in advance to see shows here.
Book your tickets as soon as
they go on sale because performances are usually a sell-out.
- Royal Albert Hall
-
Splendid venue for classical and contemporary music and dance spectaculars,
including the
BBC Proms in the summer and
Cirque de Soleil in the winter.
You should book tickets well in advance for all performances here
but standing space on the top balcony is often available for £10
if you turn up on the night.
It's a
half hour walk
along Kensington High Street or catch the number 9 or 10 bus.
- Earl's Court
-
Venue for huge rock concerts, only
fifteen minutes walk down Warwick Road.
Again, you'll need to book tickets well in advance for anything here.

fifteen minute walk to Hammersmith.

here.

For the huge summer parties in the park, catch the number 10 bus to
Marble Arch and the Park Lane side of the park.
