The Venue at 262 Tottenham Court Road
Grosvenor Casino stands at 262 Tottenham Court Road, London W1T 7RG, right on one of the busier crossroads in central London. It sits a short walk from Tottenham Court Road Underground station, so people can reach it without much effort from most parts of the city.
In official paperwork it appears as Grosvenor Casino St Giles. On the UK Gambling Commission premises register, the address is listed twice under slightly different names: “London-St Giles Grosvenor Casino” and “London-St Giles Electric Grosvenor Casino”. The site falls under the licensing remit of the London Borough of Camden.
Doors never really close here. The venue itself trades 24 hours a day, all week. Live tables - roulette, blackjack, and card games - are dealt between 12:00 and 06:00 every day. Outside that window, electronic machines stay on, so there is still playable content on the floor.
Everyone coming in needs to sign in. The dress code is smart casual rather than formal, but first-time visitors are asked for ID at the door for age checks. The minimum age is 18, in line with UK Gambling Commission rules for all licensed casinos operating in Great Britain.

Gaming on the Floor
During live hours the focus shifts clearly onto the tables. Roulette wheels and blackjack layouts are usually the most visible games, just as they are at other Grosvenor casinos across London. Electronic terminals and machines, however, keep running day and night, so even at quieter times the floor does not completely shut down.
The operator does not publish a fixed, detailed map of the floor. Table counts, poker activity and the mix of machines can move around, sometimes more than once. For visitors who want up-to-date numbers or to check whether a specific format is running, a quick call to +44 20 7299 7600 tends to be the simplest way to get an answer. Under its UKGC permissions, Grosvenor also has general betting authorisation that covers certain betting products offered on-site.
The clientele is mixed. Some people treat it as a local spot, others drift in from nearby hotels, and a fair share come through while spending an evening in the West End. It is a mainstream, regulated venue, not private or invitation-only, although the sign-in procedure at entry still applies to everyone.
Licensing and Regulatory Framework
Operations at Grosvenor Casino Tottenham Court Road sit under the umbrella of licences issued by the UK Gambling Commission. The Grosvenor brand refers to three UKGC account numbers for its land-based business: 614, 33465, and 34161, held by different companies within the group.
Grosvenor Casinos Limited holds account 614. That licence covers non-remote casino activity under both the old Gaming Act 1968 and the current Gambling Act 2005, and it also includes remote casino and general betting permissions. Another company in the group, Grosvenor Casinos (GC) Limited, holds account 34161. That one combines non-remote casino, non-remote general betting, remote casino, and remote real-event betting permissions. Both entries appear as active on the public UKGC register.
| Entity | UKGC Account | Licence Type |
|---|---|---|
| Grosvenor Casinos Limited | 614 | Non-remote casino (1968 and 2005 Acts), remote casino, general betting |
| Grosvenor Casinos (GC) Limited | 34161 | Non-remote casino, non-remote general betting, remote casino, remote real-event betting |
It is very common for larger UK gambling groups to spread their permissions across more than one licensed company. Anyone who wants to double-check that these licences are current can do so by looking up the account numbers directly at gamblingcommission.gov.uk.
The Rank Group Behind It
The casino on Tottenham Court Road forms part of the Grosvenor Casinos chain, which is owned by The Rank Group plc. Rank is a British gambling group listed on the stock market, with headquarters at TOR, Saint-Cloud Way, Maidenhead, SL6 8BN. Within its portfolio, Rank describes Grosvenor as the largest multi-channel casino operation in the UK, with around 50 venues carrying the Grosvenor name. The group also runs Mecca Bingo halls and the online-focused Rank Interactive business.
Grosvenor itself has roots going back to 1970, when the venues traded under the County Clubs identity. Over the following decades the estate grew from a small base into a nationwide chain and ultimately into the main land-based casino brand in Great Britain. The Tottenham Court Road site, often referred to as St Giles, functions as one of the key London locations thanks to its central West End position and constant footfall.
Every Grosvenor venue, including this one, operates within Rank Group policies on compliance, safer gambling, and customer care. Those rules sit at group level and apply everywhere, rather than each casino writing its own separate playbook.
