The Casino

The Bedford Crown is a brick-and-mortar casino hotel. Our gaming rooms are part of the building itself and are visited in person, through the main hotel entrance on Bedford Avenue.

A traditional London casino, under the same roof as your room

Downstairs from the lobby, the gaming rooms keep the character of a classic London club: low lighting, dark wood and a quiet, attentive staff. Hotel residents and visitors are equally welcome, provided they meet the entry requirements.

Staying at the hotel and visiting the casino are entirely separate. A room booking does not include casino entry, and you never need to visit the casino to stay with us.

If gambling is no longer fun, free and confidential support is available from BeGambleAware at begambleaware.org or the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133.
