A Celebrated Legacy in the Core of the capital
Nestled in one of Leicester Square’s most iconic buildings, the establishment occupies an structure which has entertained capital audiences since 1900. Originally built as a spectacular variety theatre, the structure underwent a transformative £40 million renovation to become as the capital’s foremost casino destination. The Grade II listed building retains its architectural grandeur whilst accommodating cutting-edge gambling facilities across three magnificent levels covering 90,000 square feet.
When you step through our doors at Cranbourn Street, you access a space where elaborate Victorian craftsmanship meets contemporary luxury. The historic theatre’s proscenium arch stands as a impressive central point, now overlooking our primary gaming area rather than theatrical shows.
