An Storied Legacy in the Core of the capital
Nestled inside one of Leicester Square’s most iconic structures, our venue resides in an building which has entertained capital audiences since 1900. Originally constructed as an spectacular variety theatre, this building underwent a extensive £40 million renovation to emerge as the city’s foremost gaming destination. The Grade II listed building retains its historic grandeur while accommodating cutting-edge gaming amenities throughout three stunning levels spanning 90,000 square feet.
As you walk through our entrance on Cranbourn Street, you enter a space where ornate Victorian craftsmanship meets contemporary luxury. The original theatre’s proscenium arch remains a stunning focal point, now surveying our primary gaming floor rather than theatrical performances.
