Once you get past the terrible traffic roundabout that is Hammersmith Broadway and head over the beautiful Hammersmith Bridge turn immediately left on the other side of the bridge and down a few steps to the Thames Pathway. It's a lovely 30 minute walk along this magnificent river to Putney Bridge. It feels surprisingly rural for central London.

The mother of all music festivals, the Royal Albert Hall is the home of the Proms, a huge festival of classical music, which take place each year from July-September.
