UK's oldest casino club on the market for US$87 million

Britain's oldest casino, located at 30 Curzon Street in Mayfair, has recently closed its doors after an impressive 195-year run. Now, this iconic establishment is up for sale, with a price tag of GBP£70m.

Historic Casino Closes After 195 Years

The Grade I-listed casino, which operated under the name Crockfords Casino until its closure, has been a prominent fixture in the London gambling scene since the mid-1970s. However, its roots as a gaming club stretch back even further, making it a truly historic venue.

Reason for Closure

Genting Casinos, the owner and operator of the casino, made the difficult decision to close its doors due to what they referred to as a "competitive disadvantage" faced by high-end London casinos in comparison to other global marketplaces. As a result, they have decided to bring the property to market.

Prime Mayfair Property Opportunity

30 Curzon Street presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Mayfair's rich history. It is a rare occurrence to see a property of this calibre become available for purchase. Its prime location makes it an ideal candidate for a private members club, but with the necessary permissions, it could be transformed into a boutique hotel, office space, or even an extraordinary single private residence.

This gem of a building, a stunning Georgian double-fronted freehold, is situated in the heart of Mayfair. Its versatile nature allows for a variety of potential uses, making it an enticing investment opportunity.

The renowned 18th-century neoclassical architect, Robert Adam, left his mark on the interior spaces of the building. Notably, he designed the circular former dining room on the ground floor and the first-floor dining room, adding to the property's historical significance.
