A Theatre Converted Into Casino Excellence
Situated proudly on the Cranbourn Street in Leicester’s Square since the year 1900, our establishment represents a remarkable fusion of performance heritage and modern gaming sophistication. Originally created by famous architect Frank Matcham, the structure served as a hippodrome featuring circus acts, aquatic spectacles, and variety performances before its transformation into one of London’s leading gaming venues.
Once we opened our venue as a gaming venue in 2012, the £40 million million restoration project meticulously preserved the Grade II listed structure’s architectural grandeur while adding state-of-the-art entertainment facilities. The historic ornate decorative work, sweeping stairs, and golden details stay intact, establishing an environment where historic Victorian grandeur combines with contemporary leisure. This documented historical heritage makes TheHippodrome casino not simply a location to game, but a place where visitors walk through layers of London’s cultural history.
