The newly-refurbished Grosvenor St. Giles Casino in Tottenham Court Road is a modern, stylish Casino that caters to all tastes. It makes the perfect day or night out in London's fashionable West End. Take a virtual tour of the club here. Tottenham Court Road runs from Euston Road in the north, to St Giles Circus (the junction of Oxford Street and Charing Cross Road) at its southern end.The road lies almost entirely within the London Borough of Camden near its boundary with the City of Westminster, a distance of about three-quarters of a mile (1.2 km).

White Hart Lane, Haringey

A thoroughfare winding between the High Roads of Tottenham and Wood Green, best known as the (nearby) home of Tottenham Hotspur, the Premier League football club

The road was in existence by 1619, when its western part was called Apeland Street. The White Hart inn stood on the east side of the High Road and was used for court sessions in the 1650s. Some very grand country retreats were built along the lane in the 17th and 18th centuries but settlement remained sparse until around 1810, when suburban villas gradually began to spread westward from Tottenham High Road.

White Hart Lane station opened on the Great Eastern Railway in 1872 and its vicinity soon took on a more urban character. The London County Council subsequently bought land between White Hart Lane and Lordship Lane for one of its first ‘out-of-town cottage estates’ – for more on this, see the page on Tower Gardens.

In the 1890s the White Hart’s landlord set up a nursery on the fertile soil behind the inn, but within a few years the newly professional Tottenham Hotspur football club sought to move the short distance here from its previous home. Originally Hotspur FC, and formed from an older cricket club in 1882, the club became Tottenham Hotspur two years later. Most of the founders were old boys of St John’s Presbyterian school and Tottenham grammar school.

In the days before the stadium became all seated (in 1994) the ground witnessed some huge attendances – most notably in the 1948–9 season, when the record gate of 75,038 was achieved for a match against Sunderland. The old ground’s capacity in its latter days was 36,284.

The club is now close to completing a new stadium in a scheme that’s codenamed the Northumberland Development Project because the site borders the avenue called Northumberland Park, which in turn is so called from the former ownership of the land thereabouts by the dukes of Northumberland. The (deliberately) cumbersome and forgettable project name will later be dropped when a corporate sponsor comes up with an acceptable offer for the new stadium’s naming rights.

The original plans were revised in 2015, increasing the stadium’s proposed capacity to 61,000 and reconfiguring the seating bowl “to enhance the fan experience”. The capacity was ultimately increased again – to 62,062, which is more than any other club stadium in London, although West Ham United’s London Stadium could hold more if permitted. The pièce de résistance is the 17,500-seat south stand – the largest single-tier stand in the UK.

Other aspects of the stadium and its surroundings include:

A visitors’ centre with an interactive museum, cinema, club megastore, ticket office and café
An enhanced public open space, comparable in area to Trafalgar Square, with a multi-use games area
A 180-bedroom hotel with 49 serviced apartments on the upper floors
A new building to host extreme sports, including the world’s highest indoor climbing wall
A ‘Sky Walk experience’ that involves walking on top of the stadium
579 new homes in four blocks, including affordable housing
A new community health centre

Following a delay of several months, caused by various teething problems, Spurs played their inaugural match at the new stadium on 3 April 2019, defeating Crystal Palace 2–0.

In addition, the 27-acre High Road West scheme will bring another 2,500 new homes to the zone either side of the eastern end of White Hart Lane, plus a library and a small park. However, a number of existing properties will be demolished, including homes on the Love Lane estate. An early CGI of the High Road West masterplan is shown above – but the final scheme is likely to rise higher.

The Grosvenor St. Giles Casino was formerly the Gala Casino Tottenham Court Road until it was taken over by the Rank Grosvenor group in 2013.The newly refurbished casino is modern and stylish and is located in central London.

The two closest airports are London City Airport which is nine miles from the casino and London Heathrow which is 18 miles away. Parking is free on the street outside the casino after 6.30pm on a single yellow line and there is also the nearby Bloomsbury Car Park which is available at a discount to casino guests. However, taking into account a £10 daily London Congestion Charge as well as the difficulties of parking in central London, it is probably better to travel by taxi or tube. Tottenham Court Road station is less than a minute’s walk from the casino whilst the mainline stations of Euston and Kings Cross are about a mile away. The casino is next door to the St. Giles Hotel and other nearby hotels include The Bloomsbury Hotel, Cheshire Hotel and the Radisson Blu Edwardian Kenilworth Hotel.

The Grosvenor St. Giles Casino features ten gaming tables, a plush new casino gaming floor offering American roulette and card tables with blackjack, three card poker, Punto Banco, and shoot dice (craps). There are also 39 'Sabre' electronic gaming terminals linked to two live roulette games and two automated wheels. They have increased their jackpots to £10,000 on a selection of slot games. There isn’t any tournament poker played here. The Grosvenor Players Reward scheme means that every time you play, eat or drink at the casino, you earn points.

The cocktail and champagne bar is open until 6.00am and their bistro dining offers options of platters of eastern and western cuisine.

Crystal Casino Tottenham Court Road Station

Cheap, but very very cheerful..

This is one of the new breed of casinos that have completely done away with the old-fashioned stuffy image of men in suits, ladies in evening dresses and licensed-to-kill spies playing baccarat.
This is a casino for the rest of us, and I love it.
Slap bang in the centre of London it attracts a diverse crowd from the ubiquitous granny on the slots to businessmen staying at the hotel (which is attached). You can enter the casino from the hotel or from the ground floor street entrance.
Tip for you, if you enter from the street you'll usually get a free bet offer - from the hotel you won't.
The layout is functional, couple of roulette and blackjack tables at the rear, some electronic roulette and lots of slots.
one of the best ways to spend your time here is on the communal slots, entry to freespins rounds and bonus games are linked so if the fella next to you (or on the row of 5 or 6 slots) gets a bonus round you all do.
High roller slot wins 2019. This really helps create an atmosphere and i've never known so much banter and laughing in a casino slot room in my life. Every time I've visited it's been the same.
For those of us who like a drink and a smoke there's a big bar (very cheap by London standards) and a really nice smoking balcony with a great view over the West End.
No dress code, no pretensions, just lots of fun.
Highly recommended.
