The Vic - What Is Actually on the Floor
150-162 Edgware Road, London W2 2DT. That is The Vic, officially Grosvenor Victoria Casino, one of the more serious live gaming rooms in central London. It runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and does not have regular shut-down periods. This alone puts it on a short list of central London casinos where you can walk in at 3am and still find active live tables.
On the main floor you will find roulette, blackjack, Punto Banco baccarat, Super Stud Poker and Three Card Poker. Third-party directories have reported about 14 roulette wheels spread across the room, and one listing mentions 32 card tables in total. These numbers are not fixed in stone - they can move with refurb work, schedule changes or table rotations. The layout actually in use is shown on grosvenorcasinos.com/local-casinos/london-the-victoria.
| Game | Format | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Roulette | Live wheel | 24/7 |
| Blackjack | Live card table | 24/7 |
| Baccarat (Punto Banco) | Live card table | 24/7 |
| Super Stud Poker | Live card table | 24/7 |
| Three Card Poker | Live card table | 24/7 |
| Electronic Gaming | Machine | 24/7 |
Dress code is smart casual, not formal but you do need to be presentable. Membership is not required - you go in, present valid ID at the door, clear the age check and you are on the floor. There is on-site parking with a car jockey and valet setup, which matters a lot in that part of London where street parking is tight.
One simple but important point that always applies: check the minimum bet at the table before you sit down, not after chips are already in play. The minimum stakes move around depending on time of day, how busy it is and what the pit bosses are running.
Getting There
The building is within walking distance of two Underground stations. Edgware Road station connects to the Circle, District and Bakerloo lines. Marble Arch sits on the Central line. Either station works in practice, the casino is in the City of Westminster and both exits put you close enough that the walk is short.
Across verified directories, two different phone numbers show for The Vic. One is +44 20 7262 7777, which turns up repeatedly in casino lists and local London listings. Another number, +44 20 7298 2414, appears in Apple Maps and at least one other directory. Both numbers point at the same Edgware Road premises. It is worth confirming which line is currently used for reception on the official site before you set out, in case you want to call ahead about valet parking or whether certain tables are already open.
