A Royal Albert Hall
C Royal College of Music D Science Museum Geological Museum Natural History Museum Victoria and Albert Museum
brick-coloured building across the road is the Royal Albert Hall, used broadmindedly (and at different times) for events as different as classical music concerts and wrestling matches. Cross Kensington Road to Queen's Gate, and then turn left into Prince Consort Road. Here you see the back ofthe Albert Hall and part oflmperial College and the Royal College of Music. Turn right into Exhibition Road. Two hundred yards along you will reach the Science Museum, one of the great museums which owe their existence to the profits of the Great Exhibition of 1851. Beyond the Science Museum, which is especially recommended for children who are interested in seeing how things work, are the Natural History Museum and the Geological Museum. Across Exhibition Road is the most famous of the four, the Victoria and Albert Museum. Walking time to the museums is about an hour. At least two hours should be allowed for each of the museums you want to visit. Those not wanting to see the museums can walk along Brompton Road into the smart shopping area of Knightsbridge (Harrods is there). Museum-goers will do better to take a bus when they emerge into the daylight.
