In 1851, London's Hyde Park hosted the Great Exhibition, leading Prince Albert to transform rural Knightsbridge into Albertopolis, a world-class cultural quarter. This self-guided audio tour traces the metamorphosis of this area from quiet countryside to one of London's most expensive and luxurious districts. You'll stroll past Harrods department store with its colourful history, enter Albertopolis to discover the Natural History Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, and Science Museum, then marvel at the Royal Albert Hall and Albert Memorial. Walk through exclusive neighborhoods where you'll be shocked to learn that when you 'buy' a house here, you don't really own it, before ending in Kensington Gardens near Kensington Palace. By the end of this hour-long walk, you'll have discovered a side of London you never knew existed and learned about the famous locals who transformed this area from Prince Albert's vision into today's cultural powerhouse.
