Gaming at The Vic on Edgware Road
Our casino at 150-162 Edgware Road, London W2 2DT operates 24 hours a day, every day. Most regular players and locals call us The Vic. We sit on the Marylebone and Westminster stretch of central London, close enough to Edgware Road Underground and Marble Arch that you can comfortably walk from either without needing a cab.
Grosvenor Casinos Limited runs the property under a premises licence issued by the UK Gambling Commission, account number 614. In line with industry practice, local permissions and oversight sit with Westminster City Council, which handles the city-side licensing.
The main gaming floor spreads over several levels with traditional table games and electronic product. Entry is free, but you do need a membership card and all guests must be at least 18. We apply a smart-casual dress code throughout the building. The entire venue is non-smoking, and we provide on-site parking through Brendon Street - the blue barrier lifts automatically when you pull up.

The venue recently completed a £15 million refurbishment that reached every level of the building. In line with what the market expects from a central London casino, the result is a contemporary, multi-level environment that works for regular London play and for international guests coming via Paddington or the Heathrow Express. It still feels like The Vic, just with a cleaner and more modern edge.
The Poker Room
Upstairs, our Poker Room is one of the largest dedicated poker areas in the UK. We usually run around 35 tables with structured cash game formats across several stakes. Waiting lists are managed through your membership card at the desk, which keeps things orderly during peak hours and removes the usual shouting across the room.
Current no-limit hold’em cash game formats:
- £1/2 NL Hold’em - buy-in from £100 to £500
- £1/3 NL Hold’em - buy-in from £200 to £1,000
- £2/5 NL Hold’em - buy-in from £400 to £2,500
- £5/10 NL Hold’em - buy-in from £800 upward
Rake is 5% capped at £10 per hand, plus a £1.50 promotional fee taken on top. In line with standard live poker practice, an under-the-gun straddle is permitted on most levels and usually set at 2x the big blind. The £1/2 game uses a small adjustment to that rule, so it is worth checking with the dealer or the floor before you buy in.
The room is fully covered by Wi-Fi, with cocktail service at the tables and espresso if you need to reset during a long session. For up-to-date schedules and specific game times, call the Poker Room team on 020 7298 2411. If you are already registered as a member, they can also send the current schedule by email.
| Stake Level | Buy-In Range | Rake Cap |
|---|---|---|
| £1/2 NL Hold’em | £100 - £500 | 5% / £10 + £1.50 |
| £1/3 NL Hold’em | £200 - £1,000 | 5% / £10 + £1.50 |

| £5/10 NL Hold’em | £800+ | 5% / £10 + £1.50 |
A small practical note that applies to any serious poker room in the country: if you are new to the venue and unsure about the process for lists, just speak to the floor staff directly instead of guessing it. It saves time for you and for the table, and our team deals with that type of question every day.
