Westminster:(15 minutes by Tube)
The home of Britain's government - the Houses of Parliament, Downing Street, the Cabinet War Rooms, from where Winston Churchill ran the country during the Second World War (now open to the public), and major ministries such as the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, Ministry of Defence, Department of Trade and Industry and many more are all here. Westminster which, as the City of Westminster is the size of a moderate city in its own right, is also well known for two major churches - the Roman Catholic Westminster Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. The latter was originally founded by King Edward I and was consecrated a few days after his death on 28th December 1065. His tomb, along with the tombs of many monarchs, nobles and notables - Charles Dickens is one - are to be found here. Monarchs since William the Conqueror, in 1066, has been crowned here, with the exceptions only of Edward V and Edward VIII. The present building replaced the much smaller Norman abbey and was mainly built at the direction of Henry III in the 13th Century. Westminster Abbey is still a church and it's a good idea to check on any services taking place so that you can arrange your visit for a different time.

Royal Albert Hall: (8 minutes walking distance)
Following the success of the Great Exhibition of 1851, the Hall was conceived by Albert, the Prince Consort, as the centrepiece of the proposed development of a range of national institutions - cultural, scientific and academic - that for the first time would be located on a single site. Externally the Italianate facade of the Hall, of red brick and terracotta, is graced by the famous 800ft mosaic frieze. The auditorium is both massive and graceful (its length is 219ft and its width 185ft) and is crowned by a dome (weighing 400 tonnes) that, when raised, was the largest in the world. The Royal Albert Hall, which is located close to South Kensington tube (Circle, District and Piccadilly lines) is now a prime London venue for concerts and musical events of all kinds from the BBC's Promenade Concerts to pop concerts but can also be privately hired, as it was for Andrew Lloyd Webber's 50th birthday extravaganza.
