A Historic Legacy within the Core of London

Nestled in a single of Leicester Square’s most iconic buildings, our establishment resides in an structure that has entertained London audiences since 1900. Originally constructed as a magnificent music hall theatre, this building underwent an transformative Β£40 million renovation to become as the capital’s premier gaming venue. The Grade II protected building preserves the architectural splendour while accommodating state-of-the-art gaming facilities across three stunning floors spanning 90,000 square feet.

When you step through our doors at Cranbourn Street, visitors enter a space where ornate Victorian craftsmanship meets contemporary opulence. The original theatre’s proscenium arch stands as an impressive central feature, now overlooking our main gaming floor rather than theatrical performances. This distinctive blend of historical importance and modern amusement makes TheHippodrome casino a unmissable destination for both seasoned gamers and intrigued visitors exploring London’s vibrant West End.
