Little India on Gloucester Road is just a stone’s throw from one of London’s best known landmarks – the Royal Albert Hall. If you have tickets for an event there, Little India is the ultimate spot for dinner before the show. Here are just some of the reasons to reserve a table with us when you’re heading out to enjoy a little culture.
A cultural experience
The Royal Albert Hall is one of Britain’s most recognised cultural centres, representing the nation’s artistic and civic legacy. Since its completion in 1871, it has welcomed everything from pop concerts and dance festivals to suffrage rallies and sports events, and even the building itself is symbolic of the best of Victorian architecture.
Indian food is a fitting accompaniment to an event at this Victorian icon. It was during Victoria’s reign that Indian cuisine was popularised in Britain, introducing the wider population to a new and exciting range of spices, culinary techniques and flavours. The culture of the Indian subcontinent enriched Britain and continues to do so today, contributing to the nation’s diversity and identity. A curry and a visit to the Royal Albert Hall go hand in hand when it comes to a cultural day out.
A sense of occasion
A trip to the Royal Albert Hall is a celebratory occasion. Whether you’re there for the Proms, a ballet or a favourite band or comedian, it’s a time to celebrate not only the arts, but also community and creativity. Similarly, going out for good Indian food brings a sense of occasion. Friends and family can come together to share a variety of dishes, perhaps trying new things or indulging in old favourites. So what could be more communal and celebratory than teaming your evening at the Royal Albert Hall with a shared Indian meal?
Location
Little India is less than 15 minutes’ walk from the Royal Albert Hall, making it ideally placed for visiting the venue. If you’re eating before a performance, there’s no need to rely on public transport or a taxi to get you there on time – simply stroll through the quiet streets of Kensington or along the edge of Kensington Gardens and you’ll be in your seat in plenty of time. Our restaurant is open from 3pm to 10.30pm so you can enjoy a relaxed meal as early as you like before the show starts.
