A Historic Theatre Changed Into Gaming Entertainment Excellence
Located proudly on the Cranbourn Street in the Leicester Square since the year 1900, our establishment represents a stunning fusion of performance heritage and contemporary gaming quality. Originally conceived by celebrated architect Frank Matcham Matcham, the edifice served as a hippodrome featuring circus entertainment acts, aquatic entertainment spectacles, and variety performances before its transformation into one of London’s premier gaming venues.
When we unveiled our establishment as a casino in 2012, the forty million refurbishment project thoughtfully preserved the Grade II II listed structure’s architectural magnificence while introducing state-of-the-art casino facilities. The authentic ornate decorative work, sweeping stairs, and golden details continue intact, establishing an ambiance where Victorian-era grandeur meets contemporary entertainment. This confirmed historical significance makes thehippodromecasino.org.uk not just a venue to game, but a place where visitors walk through chapters of London’s theatrical history.
