Welcome to That's Entertainment! Join us for a fun 90 minute walk starting at the Statue of William Shakespeare at the heart of Leicester Square Gardens on September 30th, 2025 at 10:30 AM (Europe/London). We'll stroll from Leicester Square to the world famous Hippodrome, where we have special access to tour inside.

Guests will receive a complimentary tea/coffee at the end of the tour, and also some exclusive offers from the Hippodrome Casino.

For nearly 400 years, Leicester Square has been a space for the public. On this walking tour, trace its evolution from open fields to an elegant 17th-century residential square, and its shift in the 18th century towards entertainment. We'll explore inside the iconic Hippodrome and hear its extraordinary story - from its 1900 debut as an indoor circus, to a celebrated theatre, the glittering Talk of the Town, Peter Stringfellow’s ‘world’s greatest disco’, and today, Europe’s most popular casino.
