Leicester Square Casino Restaurant
A little north of Leicester Square, you will suddenly feel as though you are in a distant and exotic place. Chinatown is bustling with authentic restaurants and shops, and colourful decorations. Originally home to Maltese and Huguenot immigrants, the Chinatown that exists today was formed in the 1950s after a handful of Chinese restaurants opened. For as long as I can remember, the Hippodrome on the corner of Leicester Square has been a Casino. But, that’s not how it started out, in 1900 when it first opened as a circus and variety show theatre. A 2-minute walk from Piccadilly Circus tube station, and a 4-minute walk from Leicester Square tube station. Full venue capacity of 600 standing and 400 seated Our Beaufort room with a capacity of 300 standing and 150 seated, suitable for any occasion.

Leicester Square is a good place to head to grab a bite to eat. If you are looking for Michelin style restaurants, you may need to look further afield to nearby areas such as Soho. However, if you are looking for a fast-food joint, a good quality chain restaurant or a place to eat with a party atmosphere, you're in the right place. Have a look at the options prior to your visit and check the opening times (particularly if you are planning a trip to the theatre or the cinema to make sure that they will be open before or after your film or show) and whether you need to book. Leicester Square is right at the heart of London, ensuring that in the square itself and the surrounding area there are endless eating out options.
