A Celebrated History in the Core of London
Situated within a single of Leicester Square’s most celebrated structures, our venue resides in a structure which has delighted London audiences since 1900. Initially constructed as a spectacular variety theatre, the building experienced an transformative £40 million renovation to emerge as the capital’s foremost casino destination. The Grade II listed building retains its architectural grandeur whilst housing state-of-the-art gambling facilities across three stunning levels spanning 90,000 sq feet.
When you step through our doors at Cranbourn Street, visitors enter a space where ornate Victorian artistry meets contemporary luxury. The historic theatre’s proscenium arch remains a stunning focal point, currently overlooking our main gaming floor rather than stage performances. This unique blend of historical significance and modern amusement renders The Hippodrome online casino an unmissable destination for both experienced players and intrigued tourists exploring the capital’s vibrant West End.
