Royal Albert Hall: air con?

[Gentlemanwiththistledownhair]

We're off to a Prom at the Albert Hall tonight, does anyone know if there is aircon and if so how effective it is?

It's obviously going to be scorchio outside (even at 10pm when we're going), but I'm one of those people who are annoyingly sensitive to aircon and cold blasts of air so what to know whether to pack a jumper!

Thanks Soola. I did read that before I posted, but it doesn't actually say how effective it is.

I assume it's not as effective as the usual air con systems in modern buildings because it's an unusual solution retrofitted into a listed building. So I was hoping for some real life experiences.

I haven't been in warm weather for over 20 years but I have fond memories of pre kids baking inside at the proms. You can guarantee that retrofitted systems aren't great. Prepare for heat, if it's cooler then be pleasantly surprised but be aware there's problems on rail tracks if you are travelling into London
