All change at the Vic!

By Mad Harper

A massive refurbishment project kicks off this summer at The Poker Room at Grosvenor’s iconic Victoria Casino in London. Cash games will still be taking place during the refurb but all scheduled tournaments and festivals are being relocated to other prestigious Grosvenor casinos around the country.

The Poker Room is one of the oldest and most famous poker venues worldwide and the planned refurb will help cement its reputation as one of the UK’s best places to play poker. The iconic casino, based in the Edgware Road close to Oxford Street, Mayfair and Hyde Park, has served Londoners and visitors to the capital for over 50 years. Spanning three floors, the property already features a one-of-a-kind al fresco rooftop gaming terrace, ‘The Loft’.

A number of this year’s poker festivals are being relocated but don’t worry! MainEventTravel has your back with great accommodation options near all the Grosvenor Casinos selected.
