This is a splendid over the top memorial befitting Queen Victoria's morbid obsession with her dearly departed Prince Albert that so dominated the rest of her life. His golden statue sits in the middle of an extremely ornate tower in a prominent position in Hyde Park. Worth the trip to see such opulence in death.

Take time to have a good look at this monument. So much to look at, from statues of the continents,to gothic towers and figures. When its lit at night, it really is stunning. And Hyde Park is on the doorstep Well worth a visit

I had a few hours to spare so I decided to try and find this Memorial and I had heard about it but never even seen a photo of it. After rounding the Albert Hall I looked across the road and what a magnificent sight I behold. I just didn't realise how lovely was this memorial. On each corner of...

This monument is magnificent! And perfectly positioned opposite the Royal Albert Hall. There is a great picnic spot with tables across from the monument.

I think this as the Victoria Memorial are possible the grandest pair of memorials in London. They are magnificent examples and this one is visible to most people who drive into London from the west. It's imposing across the area.

The memorial was erected in 1876 as a memento to Queen Victoria’s husband, who died of typhoid in 1861, and as a hymn to Britain’s achievements during her reign. The statue of Albert occupies the central canopy, holding the catalogue for the Great Exhibition which he helped to organize. It is a glorious monument across the Royal Albert Hall at...

The memorial is breathtaking and much bigger than I had previously thought. It really is awe inspiring, especially when you consider the deep love it was built from. The details found in the monument are amazing and the whole effect stunning. Located right across the street from Royal Albert Hall and in beautiful Kensington Gardens, there is lots to see...
