London, England’s capital, the big smoke. Home to some of the top companies in the entire world, some of the most luxurious hotels and boutiques, and to a plethora of high-class casinos. Some of England’s casinos are, in fact, so iconic that they’ve even inspired online recreations, by giving themes and different products to the online environment. Nowadays, these have become so popular that many online casinos already offer free spins for new customers to enjoy all of these lavish features. Since it’s in London where the inspiration for these online casinos was born, here we’re looking at some of the capital’s most celebrated venues.

Les Ambassadeurs

The history of Les Ambassadeurs dates back to 1941 and since then its doors have welcomed with open arms some of the biggest celebrities in the UK as well as countless members of high society, such as Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and The Beatles, who can be seen in the club in their 1964 film, A Hard Day’s Night. The casino also features in the iconic James Bond film, Dr. No, and it’s easy to see why, with its marble and gold, its luxurious plush carpets, as well as its gaming floor with 24/7 croupiers manning 16 tables.

The Ritz London

Before I even knew what the Ritz was, I’d heard of it. That’s just how famous this club is. The name alone throws to mind images of the gentry, of riches, and of high society. The décor of The Ritz London casts one’s mind to the grandiose palaces of the 19th Century. It’s where the richest of the rich gather to play roulette, blackjack, baccarat, and poker, as well as slot machines. The hotel, which features above the casino, has welcomed some of the biggest celebrities in the world. From J. Paul Getty, once recognised as the richest man in the world, to Lord Mountbatten, Winston Churchill, Dwight Eisenhower, Charles de Gaulle, and the Rolling Stones.

Maxims Casino Club

Just a stone’s throw from Mayfair and we’re in yet another of London’s most elite districts, Kensington, where you will find Maxims Casino Club. Known as the Exclusive Casino Club, for the Gentlemen, by gentlemen, Maxims is a 24-hour casino which features three luxurious gaming rooms, The Kensington Room, The Palace Room, and The Dickens Room. As you can probably imagine the casino offers games such as Baccarat, American Roulette, Three Card Poker, and Blackjack. The casino is known for its high-stake clientele, as it offers bets of up to 10,000, making it a favourite for London’s most daring casino-goers. It also features a high-class restaurant, serving Arabic, Chinese, and European dishes.

The London Hippodrome

The London Hippodrome has been around since 1900 and has a rich history. It was here that Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake first debuted in England. It has also hosted some of the biggest musicians and bands of all time. From Diana Ross & The Supremes, to The Jackson Five, Tom Jones, and Frankie Vaughan. However, it was only in 2012 that The Hippodrome Casino was opened, offering four full floors of gaming. There’s also a so-called Gold Room casino which can be found in the basement.

The Barracuda

Yet another famous and historic casino, The Barracuda, is located at one of London’s most exclusive addresses, 1 Baker Street, the same street where the legendary fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes lived at 221B. The casino is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, you can find timeless casino classics such as roulette, blackjack, punto banco, and three-card poker as well as a plethora of slot machines. The Barracuda is also home to The Club Room, a space of complete luxury which is available for private gaming with two exquisite poker tables.
