Arthur H. Beavan continued his survey of London's musical entertainment, in Imperial London, published in 1901, with this look at Queen's Hall:

St James' Hall has a formidable rival in Queen's Hall, Langham Place, a beautifully-arranged and decorated modern room with fine acoustic properties.

Promenade concerts, symphony concerts, ballad concerts, Sunday afternoon string-band concerts, and Sunday evening sacred concerts under the auspices of the National Sunday League, are welcomed in turn by the management of Queen's Hall.

At Steinway Hall in Lower Seymour Street, good music is generally to be heard; and also as far east as the Mile End Road, where, at the People's Palace, the Palace Choir Society render oratorios with excellent effect.

In St Martin's Town-Hall, chamber concerts and recitals are regularly given; and, in fact, in all our local Borough Halls, music is beginning to be encouraged, and bids fair to become a welcome and recognized institution.
