    When are you going ?

    If it's in the summer you could look at Imperial College's summer accomodation - Beit Hall is adjacent to the Albert Hall and the Princes Garden halls just a few minutes walk away.

    Not sure about parking though.....

    Parking costs can be high, with the added cost of the congestion charge and will restrict your hotel choice if you require onsite parking. My advice would be to park at a tube or train station car park outside of London on your way and travel in by public transport.

    Have a look at Travelodge, Premier Inn and Holiday Inn hotels for your date. You can use https://www.tfl.gov.uk journey planner to check journey times via public transport.

    We stayed at the Earls Court Premier Inn last year when we went to a concert at the Royal Albert Hall and can really recommend it. If you book well in advance you can get a good price. We paid £82 for the night, but it would have cost £200 on the day. It’s 1.4 miles, so a good walk, or quick taxi job.

    I would just like to point out that the London Congestion Charge does not extend West of Park Lane.

    This means the whole area surrounding The Albert Hall, including Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Chelsea and Kensington, are outside the zone.

    We usually stay around docklands in a travelodge or premier inn,

    parking is about £8 a night but the room cost can be as low as £39 ish.

    20 minutes on the light railway in to central london
