“A lively corner of central London where dinner, a few hands and a townhouse bed sit within a short stroll.”
Chinatown is among the most atmospheric corners of the West End, all lanterns, late kitchens and crowded pavements. A casino here belongs to a larger evening rather than being its own destination.
The pleasure is in the neighbourhood. Start with dinner, spend a measured hour at the tables, and finish at a small hotel that has more personality than the average chain room.
A busy, energetic floor with a strong table-game focus. It suits someone who likes a little buzz and does not mind the noise of a central London night.
Central London has a wide choice of boutique and townhouse stays, though prices vary a great deal by date. Look a few weeks ahead and compare neighbourhoods, not just rooms.
Photo ID is needed and you will usually be asked to join as a member. Smart casual is sensible. Confirm opening times and house rules with the venue before you set off.
