Royal Festival Hall

Inside, the space is vast yet manages to feel intimate, featuring wide, comfortable seats with generous legroom for people to pass by. While there is some debate over whether the acoustics are ideal for classical performances, sound travels clearly and warmly even to the highest rows, especially when the organ is in full pelt. Those looking for a budget-friendly option can opt for the cheaper choir seats. Windows look out onto Big Ben and the London Eye, but plan to eat before you arrive—the venue is lacking in reasonably priced dining options.
