Het orgel in de Royal Albert Hall te Londen werd in 1871-1872 door Henry Willis gebouwd als concertorgel. Het is in 1924 en 1933 door Harrison & Harrison omgebouwd en uitgebreid. Ook in de jaren die volgden werd geregeld aan het orgel gewerkt. De huidige samenstelling is in 1985 na een restauratie door Kenneth Jones tot stand gekomen. In de jaren 2002-2004 voerde de firma Mander werkzaamheden uit aan het orgel. De dispositie is hierbij uitgebreid met één stem, waardoor het orgel weer het grootste orgel op de Britse eilanden werd. Op 26 juni 2004 is het orgel weer in gebruik genomen met een speciaal galaconcert. Er werd door drie organisten meegewerkt aan dit festival, David Briggs, John Scott en Thomas Trotter, samen met het Royal Philharmonic Orchestra onder leiding van Richard Hickox. De toonhoogte van het elektro=pneumatische sleepladen-orgel is a’ = 440 Hz. en de stemmingstemperatuur is evenredig zwevend.
