A Historic Theatre Transformed Into Gaming Excellence
Located proudly on Cranbourn Street in Leicester's Square since nineteen hundred, our property represents a remarkable fusion of performance heritage and contemporary gaming sophistication. Originally conceived by renowned architect Frank Matcham Matcham, the edifice served as a theatre featuring circus entertainment acts, aquatic spectacles, and entertainment performances before its change into one of of London's top gaming establishments.
As we unveiled our venue as a casino in 2012, the £40 million refurbishment project thoughtfully preserved the historic Grade II listed building's architectural grandeur while introducing state-of-the-art entertainment facilities. The original ornate plasterwork, sweeping staircases, and golden details continue intact, forming an environment where Victorian grandeur combines with contemporary entertainment. This documented historical importance makes thehippodromecasino.org.uk not just a location to play, but a venue where patrons walk through layers of London's theatrical history.
