The Hippodrome Casino is London and the UK’s largest and most popular casino. Home to extensive world-class casino table gaming, electronic games, slots and poker facilities, it is easy to see why the long-established West End venue has been attracting millions of visitors each year since it first opened in 2012.
The casino is located in the City of Westminster, on the corner of Cranbourn Street and Charing Cross Road. No membership is required, and visitors can enter the casino 24/7 to access the range of six bars, Pokestars cash poker deck, award-winning steak house, 325-seat cabaret theatre, two smoking terraces and three floors of gambling. There are three separate casinos inside, which each have a different and dynamic theme. As well as trying your luck at one of the game tables or poker machines, you can also buy Hippodrome Casino tickets from StubHub to see one of the state-of-the-art theatre shows held regularly throughout the year.
The casino complex is recognised as one of the leading entertainment landmarks in London thanks to its long and quirky history. The venue resides in a former theatre space that was first opened in 1900 by Moss Empires. Its first show, "Giddy Ostend", was held on 15 January 1900 and featured none other than Little Tich and Charlie Chaplin. In its early years, the theatre sold Hippodrome Casino tickets to performances by acrobats, Tchaikovsky’s debut of Swan Lake (1910), Harry Houdini and Julie Andrews (1947). In the 1950s, the venue became home to world-renowned nightclub, Talk Of The Town, which hosted major performers from around the world such as Shirley Bassey, Judy Garland, The Jackson 5 and Tom Jones. The new venue began its transformation in 2009 when Jimmy and Simon Thomas began an extensive restoration project on the theatre complex with plans to open it as a casino and entertainment venue. On 13 July 2012, the casino was reopened by then Mayor of London, Boris Johnson. The casino has also received awards over the years, including Best Land-based Casino at the Totally Gaming Awards in January 2013. Jimmy Thomas also received a Life Achievement award for his immense contribution to the gaming and entertainment industries. Today, the venue still plays a major role in London’s nightlife and entertainment scenes. Visitors can enjoy a divine mixture of fine dining, buy Hippodrome Casino tickets from StubHub to theatre performances, and gambling in the UK’s largest and busiest international-style casino.
