Hotels near the Proms Chamber Music Monday Lunchtimes

In 1995, 100 years after Henry Wood founded "the Proms," the first Proms Chamber Music concerts were held. Since 2005 they have been held under Cadogan Hall's Byzantine tower, a tube stop away from the Royal Albert Hall.

Each Monday small ensembles or solo artists perform repertoire that both complement and expand on the larger programme up the road.
