Our Rich Legacy in Leicester Square

Founded in the year 1900, thehippodromecasino.org.uk stands as among of the most iconic leisure venues in central heart of London’s West End. Initially designed by the legendary theatre architect Frank Matcham, our structure has seen over a century of extraordinary transformations. What began as a magnificent hippodrome for circus and variety performances transformed into one of Europe’s most prestigious gaming venues.

The £40 million restoration completed in 2012 transformed our historic venue into a modern casino occupying 90,000 square feet across three floors. The casino proudly maintains its Listed II protected status, preserving the design magnificence while integrating cutting-edge gaming technology and premium amenities that modern players desire.

The Casino Floor Experience

Our casino floor features an comprehensive selection of gaming options designed to satisfy both experienced players and newcomers alike. Featuring over forty-five traditional gaming tables operating throughout the week, we provide an authentic casino environment that few establishments can equal.
