Closest Hotels to Victoria & Albert Museum:
The Victoria and Albert Museum is Britain’s National Museum of Art and Design. It was first opened in 1852 at Marlborough House in central London as a Museum of Manufacturers, following the success of the Great Exhibition which had been held in London the previous year. In 1857 it was moved to Brompton in west London, where it was renamed the Victoria and South Kensington Museum. It acquired its current name in 1899 in honour of Queen Victoria (and her beloved husband, Albert) who had laid the foundation stone as her last public appearance. The V&A is the largest museum of decorative arts in the world and highlights include Italian Renaissance sculpture, paintings and drawings by Constable, the Glass Gallery, the Dress Gallery and the Canon Photography Gallery.
