Hippodrome Casino London

Overview
"The Hippodrome is the UK’s largest entertainment and casino venue, and its most popular. It sits alongside the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace as one of the ‘must-see’ destinations of the capital. With six floors of gaming, London’s largest dedicated poker floor, a multi-award-winning steak house, 326-seat Magic Mike Live theatre, eight bars and a three-floor outdoor terrace, there’s simply nothing to compare to it in the West End of London. Housed within the former Hippodrome Theatre, the main door opens onto one of Europe’s busiest thoroughfares, while the world’s largest ‘Chinatown’ community sits just alongside. After 120 years the Hippodrome is still as famous, dynamic and inventive as it’s ever been. The Hippodrome Casino is an over 18’s venue and operates a ‘Challenge 21’ policy; if you are lucky enough to appear under 21 please ensure you have your original Government issued identification such as a Passport, Driving Licence or National Identity card.

As part of this review we have brought ourselves in line with many other live music venues and are introducing an Essential Companion scheme which will allow for disabled people that need support the ability to bring an essential companion with them free of charge. This will require completing a registration process but, as we are not experts in disability we have decided that the best way to do this is to use The Access Card Scheme. The Access card typically costs disabled people £15 for 3 years and is recognised as proof of disability and more in venues throughout the UK. The card is issued by an organisation of disabled people and will translate your needs into easy to communicate symbols on your card meaning that we can provide you with the support you need without going into an unnecessary amount of detail with you. You are only required to register once for 3 years and from that point the card will give you: A more personalised service Access to online bookings which will automate your access requests 10% off all Bar food and drink Access to other events at venues including the O2 Arena, Really Useful Theatre Company Venues, O2 Academies and many more nationwideContact details
