Park Lane Club Casino United Kingdom

What the Venue Actually Is

Park Lane Club operates inside the London Hilton on Park Lane, at 22 Park Lane, Mayfair, London W1K 1BE. The casino space covers parts of the ground, first and second floors of the hotel. It is a fully licensed land-based venue, listed on the UK Gambling Commission public register under Metropolitan Mayfair Limited, with Westminster City Council as the local licensing body. In short, this is a regulated casino, not some grey-area setup in the corner of a building.

Doors are open every day of the week, from 2 pm until 7 am. That window covers after-work visits, late-night sessions and the people who turn up just before dawn. Opening times can move around slightly, so placing a quick call before heading over is usually worth it.

Admission is strictly 18 and over. The place aims at regular casino goers as well as higher-stakes players, with Hyde Park views and service that feels more personal than purely transactional.

Gaming Floor and What Is On It

On the tables you get the familiar mix. American Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat and Three Card Poker, with progressive jackpots attached to the Three Card Poker games. Slots and electronic terminals sit in their own zone rather than being scattered across the room, which keeps the main floor a bit calmer.

There is also a private gaming room for a more enclosed setting, plus an outdoor gaming terrace. The terrace is relatively rare for a London casino, but both areas are part of the same licensed premises, just different corners of the Hilton site.

One practical point that applies everywhere: check table minimums before you sit down. Limits vary from table to table, and the difference can be big. Asking a dealer or floor host takes a few seconds and saves awkward surprises.

Bar and lounge areas are built into the casino layout. Drinks service runs alongside the gaming, and there is food available, although the exact scope of the full dining offer is not set out clearly in public information.

Membership - How It Works Now

Membership is the part that has shifted the most. Park Lane Club started life as a private members’ casino with a reported annual fee of about £1,000 and a minimum table spend. That structure has been removed. After Metropolitan Gaming Limited acquired the property in 2022, membership applications became free. The sense of exclusivity now comes from the setting and service rather than from paying a fee at the door.

Following the acquisition, the venue picked up the Metropolitan Park Lane identity alongside the Park Lane Club name. Some online listings still mention only the old brand. Within the Metropolitan Casinos network, it is promoted as London Park Lane. In practice, all of these names refer to the same place at 22 Park Lane, inside the Hilton, so once you are in Mayfair there is no real room for confusion.

If you want to sort membership before your first visit, the basic flow is:

1. Check parklaneclublondon.com or metropolitancasinos.com/venues/london-park-lane for the latest venue details.
2. Call +44 20 3759 5050 or email [email protected] to ask how to apply.
3. Complete the membership form or process the team sends you.
4. Wait for confirmation from the venue.
5. Turn up with that confirmation and valid photo ID.

The move to a free application fits with how Metropolitan Gaming presents its casinos in general: the real filter is the environment and style of play, not a paid membership wall.

Getting There

Hyde Park Corner Underground station sits roughly a seven-minute walk away, which makes it the simplest route from much of central London. For drivers, parking is available directly at the London Hilton on Park Lane, and there is an additional Euro Car Parks facility close by.

Being in Mayfair means the club is surrounded by luxury hotels, bars and restaurants along Park Lane. For most visitors already in the area for dinner or drinks, the casino becomes a natural extra stop rather than a separate outing across town.

Background and Who Runs It

Park Lane Club opened in 2014 under a private members’ model and operated like that for several years. In 2022, Metropolitan Gaming Limited acquired the site via an asset purchase. As part of a wider expansion, Metropolitan Gaming also took over Caesars’ casino operations in Europe and Africa, and Park Lane joined this larger portfolio.

The specific company licensed to run the casino space - Metropolitan Mayfair Limited - also holds the licence for Metropolitan Casino Mayfair at 14 Old Park Lane. That is a different address and a different venue, even though the operator is the same and the branding is similar. If you search for a Metropolitan-branded casino around Park Lane, double-check the street number before you set out, as the two sites sit relatively close to each other.

On social media, the venue keeps an Instagram presence at @parklaneclublondon and a Twitter account at @ParkLaneCasino. The LinkedIn profile lists Park Lane Club under gambling facilities and casinos with 22 Park Lane given as the main address.

Responsible Gambling

The casino operates under full UK Gambling Commission rules, which include safer gambling requirements, standards for how staff interact with customers and how self-exclusion is handled. The 18+ age rule is not flexible. In its LinkedIn description, Park Lane Club references begambleaware.org, which is standard across UK-licensed operators.

Setting personal limits on time and spend before you head into any casino usually helps keep things under control. BeGambleAware.org provides free, confidential help for anyone in the UK who feels they might need support. If you want to check the regulatory position for yourself, the Gambling Commission’s public register lets you see the licence details for Metropolitan Mayfair Limited and confirm that the venue is properly authorised.
