The Empire occupies the upper floors of a former cinema and variety house on the north side of Leicester Square, converted into a casino in 2007. The main gaming room retains the proportions of the old auditorium.
It operates as a public casino rather than a members club, with tables, electronic terminals, a poker room and several bars, and it draws much of its trade from West End theatre and nightlife crowds.
Highlights
- Converted cinema and variety house
- On the north side of Leicester Square
- Public casino, no membership needed
- West End evening trade
