Grosvenor Casino St Giles - Gaming, Dining and Membership

The Gaming Floor

Grosvenor Casino St Giles sits at 262 Tottenham Court Road, London W1T 7RG, right in the heart of the West End. For most guests it is one of the easier venues to reach in central London. Entry is free, but only for those 18 or over, and we are strict on the ID rule. You will need a valid photo ID at the door, no workarounds. The casino operates as part of Grosvenor Casinos (GC) Limited, owned by The Rank Group, under a premises licence from the UK Gambling Commission, with the London Borough of Camden as the local licensing authority.

On the tables, we focus on the classic formats you would normally expect at a venue of this size. Roulette and blackjack are the main games on the floor. Reported minimums start from 50p on roulette and from £3 on blackjack at certain times, but actual limits can change, so it is always better to check the current minimum directly with the team on the table. Poker is also dealt on site. Slot machines are positioned alongside the tables rather than hidden away, so you can move between electronic games and live play without changing floors.

We trade seven days a week. Gaming usually runs through until around 6am, which is later than the bar service. Last orders at the bar do not mean the end of play, so if you are planning a longer session, the gaming floor stays active after drinks service has stopped.

Getting There and Registering

Tottenham Court Road Underground station is the nearest stop, and it is genuinely around a two-minute walk to the casino. Both the Central and Northern lines serve the station, which makes access from most parts of London fairly straightforward. Once you reach 262 Tottenham Court Road, head to the entrance, have your ID ready, and our front-of-house team will take it from there.

For a first visit, the process at the door is simple, but it still takes a moment:

1. Travel to Tottenham Court Road Underground station.
2. Walk to 262 Tottenham Court Road and head to the main entrance.
3. Present valid photo ID - a passport or UK driving licence is fine.
4. Age is verified; if you are under 18 or cannot prove age, we must refuse entry.
5. Go through the free entry point to reception and the main floor.
6. Register for the loyalty or guest entry programme with the front desk team.
7. Collect your membership or guest card before you start playing.

All registration takes place in person at the venue. Current public information does not mention any online pre-registration options, and we do not charge an entry fee. The loyalty scheme is part of the standard Grosvenor Casinos membership, the same structure that runs across our UK properties.

One practical remark from our experience: if you are new to casino visits, plan to arrive slightly earlier than your planned gaming time. ID checks, completing registration and finding your way around the floor take a few minutes. It is usually more comfortable to do that without watching the clock.

Dining and the Bar

On site, we have a bistro-style dining area and a licensed bar, with cocktails available. The food offer is set up to work well later in the evening and into the night, which sits naturally alongside the extended gaming hours. It is not designed as a standalone destination restaurant. Instead, it is a straightforward way to eat without having to leave the casino in the middle of a session.

Bar operating hours and gaming times are not identical. The bar closes earlier, while the gaming floor continues after bar service has finished, so play does not stop when food and drink do. If you are planning to visit mainly for a meal or a drink rather than gaming, we always suggest a quick call in advance just to confirm the current food and bar service times.

The contact number for the venue is +44 20 7299 7600.

The Brand and Regulatory Background

Grosvenor Casinos has been operating since 1970 and over the years has developed into one of the larger land-based casino brands in the UK. The Rank Group owns and manages the business from its base in Maidenhead. St Giles is one part of this network, and works under the same operating standards and the same regulatory framework as our other venues.

Each Grosvenor casino, including St Giles, holds a licence issued and supervised by the UK Gambling Commission. The public register entry for Grosvenor Casinos (GC) Limited lists the St Giles premises at 262 Tottenham Court Road within this structure. If you want to double-check licensing details yourself, the Gambling Commission public register is the official reference point. A simple keyword search using the address will bring up the current premises licence.

Being part of The Rank Group means we apply responsible gaming policies and compliance procedures in a consistent way across the estate. At St Giles, the photo ID requirement and the 18-plus rule are not optional preferences. They are part of our licence conditions, and we enforce them accordingly.

Planning a Table Gaming Session

For guests visiting specifically to play table games, a little planning tends to make the evening run more smoothly. Calling ahead on +44 20 7299 7600 is the easiest way to check which tables are open, whether there are any particular events or formats on that night, and to confirm closing times. Minimum stakes can shift with time of day and demand, so the most reliable way is still to confirm with the dealer once you sit down.

If you are mapping out your visit, a typical sequence looks like this:

1. Phone the casino to check table availability and current opening hours.
2. Make sure your photo ID is valid and with you.
3. Travel to Tottenham Court Road station and walk to 262 Tottenham Court Road.
4. Complete the ID check and entry process at reception.
5. Register for the loyalty programme if you do not yet have a card.
6. Choose your roulette or blackjack table and confirm the current minimum stake with the dealer.
7. Exchange cash for chips either directly at the table or at the cashier.
8. Before you leave, redeem any remaining chips back at the cashier desk.

Cash handling for chip exchanges at the cashier is done in GBP. Publicly available sources for the physical venue do not specify any other deposit or withdrawal options for on-site play, so we work on a straightforward cash basis at the counter.

Contact and Location

There is also a local page for the casino on Facebook, which reflects the same address details. For any questions relating to licensing, or if you wish to verify the premises information directly, the UK Gambling Commission public register remains the official source. The St Giles entry sits under Grosvenor Casinos (GC) Limited, with the London Borough of Camden recorded as the relevant local authority.
