The Royal Albert Hall and the buildings around it were inspired by Prince Albert, and were made possible by the profits from the Great Exhibition of 1851, an event Prince Albert instigated. He wished to create a place where various branches of arts and industry could flourish in one location. When Prince Albert died in 1861, the public helped donate funds for both his memorial and the central building of the estate, named Royal Albert Hall by Queen Victoria herself.
The memorial is located in Hyde Park, at the sight of the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations. The Royal Albert Hall is located across the way. Since opening, the Hall has hosted cultural performances of every sort, including the famous annual Henry Wood Promenade Concerts, known commonly as the Proms, and held every year between July and September.
