Organisers expect this season to be one of the biggest ever, as travelling Olympics fans look to capitalize on summer in London.

-- /EPR NETWORK/ -- The most important dates on the classical music calendar will commence at the Royal Albert Hall on July 13th, running until September 8th.

And this year, organizers are expecting even higher demand for tickets with many visitors from all around the world already staying in the capital for the London Olympics. LondonTown.com will be helping music lovers to enjoy the city in style with a selection of discounted London hotels for the duration of the Proms 2012.

This year's Proms will draw the usual crowd of dyed-in-the-wool classical music fans and shameless populists getting their annual dose of culture. And the tradition of offering five hundred standing tickets on the door for just five pounds each continues, offering the chance to see some fantastic music to those who could not ordinarily afford the price of a classical or opera concert.

Top international orchestras and soloists will perform a mixture of the obscure and the accessible. As ever, a sense of fun often missing from the po-faced world of classical music will pervade proceedings – especially the famous ‘Last Night of the Proms'.

Among the special deals available at LondonTown.com, the Princes Square Hotel London in Bayswater is offering a 77% discount on double rooms, bringing the nightly rate down to just £66. The Princes Square if less than 20 minutes walk from the Royal Albert Hall.

Even closer is the Corus Hyde Park Hotel London, which is walkable in under 15 minutes from the Royal Albert Hall. When booking through LondonTown.com, the Corus is offering a 72% on a double room, bringing the nightly rate down to just £104. The four-star Corus is located in Lancaster Gate.
