Question 1

Why is there a minimum age?

Accepted Answer

To enter a casino you need to be 18+ by law. The Hippodrome uses Challenge 25, so bring original ID (passport, driving licence or PASS card) if you look under 25. No ID = no entry – we’d hate for you to miss out!

Question 2

Where is the meeting place?

Accepted Answer

We meet in front of the Shakespeare statue.  If the water fountains are operational it might mean that we will meet slightly to the side - but look out for the guide with the Amazing London Tour Meeting Point sign.

Question 3

What time should I arrive?

Accepted Answer

Please arrive 10-15 minutes before the start of your tour to ensure the whole group can start on time.

Question 4

What should I do if I'm running late?

Accepted Answer

If you are running late, contact us and we will try to let you know where you can join the tour. Your confirmation will have the Guide's mobile number.

Question 5

Will we go inside any buildings?

Accepted Answer

We will spend the majority of our tour inside the Hippodrome Casino. Please note that there will be a security / bag check on entry.

Question 6

What happens if it's raining?

Accepted Answer

The tour will go ahead rain or shine. Please check the weather forecast and dress accordingly, although note we will be spending most of our time inside.

Question 7

Is there a cloakroom?
