Our Rich Heritage in Leicester Square

Founded in the year 1900, the hippodromecasino exists as one of the most iconic leisure venues in the heart of London’s West End.

The £40 million restoration completed in 2012 transformed our heritage venue into a state-of-the-art casino spanning 90,000 square feet across three floors. Our casino proudly maintains its Grade II protected status, maintaining the architectural magnificence while adding cutting-edge gaming technology and premium amenities that modern players desire.
