Overall Rating
Good
This is an iconic venue. The most beautiful building you can imagine. Due to its age it's never going to be the most accessible place. However, there are ramps, a sizeable toilet, lifts and fabulous customer service. The auditorium is circular so everybody does get a good view. Having said that though, you are not particularly close. The acoustics and atmosphere are both faultless. Given all this, I would highly suggest a visit - nights are always fun. The booking process is very easy: either ring them or send them a request through the website.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
The building is perfectly accessible. The seating may let the venue down but I am unsure how this can be improved upon - they do a great job and the Royal Albert Hall does have many other assets.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
If you book early, they will reserve a parking space for you right outside the accessible entrance. It's perfect - I can't fault it.
Accessible Toilets
Excellent
This is one of the biggest toilets: its clean, I remember it having a hoist (although I've never used it). It's operated by radar key which, depending on your perspective, may or may not be a plus. I have never had any difficulty using it.
Staff
Excellent
The staff are simply superb. They love working at the venue and want everybody to have a memorable evening.
