Lonely Planet review

The Royal Festival Hall is one of the best places for catching world music artists. Some of its most popular programmes are the so-called 'Meltdowns' - basically a list of favourite music and musicians compiled by the likes of David Bowie and Jarvis Cocker. Reopened in Summer 2007, the two-year, around £91 million renovations used the existing 1950s materials - concrete, leather and wood - to excellent effects.
