Casinos really aren’t a big thing in London but if you know where to look you can certainly find them. The Empire Casino in Leicester Square is probably the most obvious and high profile one that I know about, and about six months ago I met up with the lads (James, D, Wongo, Grant) at the Palm Beach Casino near Green Park. They decided it was time for another outing so here we were.

The staff at the the front desk were much friendlier than the ones at the Palm Beach Casino and didn’t seem to get at all affected by the business of the front desk registration. Unlike the Empire Casino, they do require you to sign up and become a member.

The Grosvenor seemed very busy – but as this was my first visit I had nothing to measure it against. Surprisingly there was a large proportion of people just eating/drinking (as a percentage of those gambling.) We didn’t stay very long … long enough for D to get us all a round of drinks though when he came up trumps in roulette. In fact, he was the only one that had success tonight! Thanks D for the drink!
