The Hippodrome Casino: The place where London’s famous Recreation Heritage Meets Modern Gambling Distinction

Index of Sections

A Historical Location Converted

Positioned in the actual core of Leicester’s iconic Square, our prestigious gaming establishment occupies one single of London’s finest exceptionally iconic structures, originally constructed in 1900 by celebrated theatre builder Frank renowned Matcham. The historic edifice served as a performance hall for circus performances and variety shows for over a full hundred-year period ahead of undergoing a remarkable £40 million-pound renovation that converted it to a luxury gaming and entertainment destination we run at present.

When the hippodromecasino opened its entrance in 2012, we kept the original structural splendor of the initial edifice while incorporating cutting-edge gambling facilities. This restoration maintained many original features, including the stunning elaborate molding and the spectacular dramatic dome-shaped canopy that rises over the primary gambling level, establishing an ambiance that seamlessly blends historical importance with current opulence.
