Royal College of Music, London

Royal College of Music is a leading music school in England. It is located in South Kensington, in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

The Royal College of Music was founded by Royal Charter in 1882, by the Prince of Wales, who later became King Edward VII. It was originally located to the west side of the Royal Albert Hall. Its current premises was designed by Sir Arthur Blomfield in the Flemish Mannerist style. Located on Prince Consort Road, it was completed in 1894. The building was funded by two generous donations made by Samson Fox, a Yorkshire industrialist. His statue, along with that of the Prince of Wales, stands at the entrance hall of the college.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
