An Historic Heritage in the Core of London
Located inside one of Leicester Square’s most celebrated buildings, our establishment resides in a building that has delighted London visitors from 1900. Originally built as a spectacular variety theater, the structure underwent a transformative £40 million renovation to become as the capital’s premier casino venue. This Grade II protected structure preserves its architectural grandeur whilst accommodating cutting-edge gaming facilities across 3 magnificent levels spanning 90,000 sq ft.
When visitors step through our entrance at Cranbourn Street, you enter a environment in which ornate Victorian craftsmanship meets contemporary luxury. The original theatre’s stage arch stands as a stunning central feature, now overlooking the main gaming floor rather than theatrical shows. The unique fusion of historical importance and contemporary entertainment renders thehippodromecasino.org.uk a unmissable venue for both experienced players and curious visitors exploring London’s lively West End.
