You'll likely recognise the Hippodrome Casino if you've found yourself walking through Leicester Square in central London. It's one of the area's most well recognised spots, and isn't just famed for its busy casino and history as a world-renowned theatre - it’s also the perfect venue for events of all kinds. In fact, the Hippodrome Casino has hosted all manner of events, from conferences and product launches, to private parties and celebrations. Thanks to its convenient location by Leicester Square tube station, its long and famous history, and iconic facade, it stands as a prime location for impressive events.
As one of the most glamorous events venues in central London, the Hippodrome comes armed with a variety of spaces to choose from. When The Hippodrome first opened as a theatre in 1900, a 100,000 gallon pool was incorporated in the entertainment design. In the walls of this former pool, on the lower ground, is Lola's, a versatile event space that has top of the range AV facilities and can accommodate up to 220 standing guests, and 180 seated. For more relaxed, or social events, The Permission Lounge is a gorgeously designed area suited to events of up to 60 for exclusive hire or 30 for semi private.
If you're hosting an event in the summer, choose The Rooftop Bar, and enjoy full hire or a sectioned off part of this incredible viewpoint. In the winter, you can still celebrate here, in the enclosed Terrace Bar with heating to keep your guests toasty warm. There are also several catering options for your event, with two award winning kitchens on site – Heliot Steak House by executive Chef Ioannis Grammenos, and Chop Chop by Four Seasons. Whatever you’re looking for, a dedicated events planner is included in your booking, helping to ensure your venue hire at Hippodrome Casino goes off without a hitch.
