Grosvenor Casino Bayswater - Gaming, Poker and Venue Info

What We Offer at Bayswater

Our casino is based at 79-81 Queensway, London W2 4QH, right in the middle of a very busy and well-connected part of central London. Bayswater and Queensway Underground stations are both only a short walk away, so getting to us is usually simple whether you are crossing the city or already nearby.

We keep the doors open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There is no last entry time and no awkward closing period in the middle of the night. If you feel like coming in at 3am on a Tuesday, the main floor is operating and staff are around.

Entry is strictly for guests aged 18 and over. That is checked at the entrance, not on the gaming floor. On your first visit, bring a valid photo ID - a passport or driving licence works - and have it ready, as our team will ask for it.

Table Games and the Gaming Floor

The main casino floor is where most visitors start. Here we run roulette and blackjack tables, and there is also a separate poker room on-site. Roulette and blackjack operate through the day and into the night, but the number of open tables varies depending on when you arrive. A quiet weekday afternoon looks different to late evening at the end of the week, which is normal for a live casino environment.

Poker is handled as its own operation. At this venue it runs under the name “Grosvenor Bayswater Poker London” and works to a fixed timetable: every day from 6pm through to 6am. Both cash games and tournaments are part of that schedule. If poker is the main reason you are heading in, it is worth planning your visit around those hours, because the poker room does not follow the general 24/7 pattern of the main floor.

For roulette and blackjack players, access is more flexible. The main floor is open round the clock, and our team supervises tables, explains rules where needed and manages limits.

Slots and Electronic Gaming

Alongside the live dealing tables, our venue includes slot machines and electronic gaming terminals. These machines suit guests who prefer to play on their own, at their own pace, or who want to start on lower stakes before moving to the tables.

We do not keep a fixed public list of how many machines are in use or which jackpot values are active at Bayswater. The mix can shift. The easiest way to know what is available on a given day is to ask the floor staff once you arrive - they can tell you which terminals are running, and whether there are promotions linked to electronic gaming at that time.

By running both traditional live tables and electronic machines, we give players a chance to switch between formats during the same visit. You are never locked into a single style of play for the night.

Dining, Bar and Practical Stuff

Inside the venue we provide a restaurant, buffet service and a bar lounge area. The bar and lounge sit away from the main gaming floor, which works well when some of the group want a drink or to watch for a bit while others play. Guests who just want to sit and talk are not pushed into the middle of the tables.

Kitchen and food service hours do not always match the 24/7 gaming schedule. If a sit-down meal is a key part of what you are planning, it is sensible to call ahead and check the current serving times.

Free car parking is available at Bayswater. For a central London location, that is a practical detail that makes a real difference, since regular street or public parking in this part of W2 can be limited or quite expensive.

A small timing tip from us: if you want to combine a full dinner with an evening poker session, arriving at around 5:30pm usually gives enough time to eat, settle in and then move across when the poker room opens at 6pm. Daytime visitors will find slots and table games already running, but the poker room itself will still be closed until the evening.

About Grosvenor Casinos and Our Regulatory Standing

Grosvenor Casinos has been present in the UK casino sector since 1970. We sit within The Rank Group, a UK-listed leisure company based in Maidenhead. Grosvenor Casinos Limited was incorporated on 18 April 1966 under company number 00877080, with a SIC code of 92000, which covers gambling and betting activities in UK company classification.

Across the country, The Rank Group currently operates 53 venues under the Grosvenor name. Bayswater is one of several London properties in that network, all run to the same regulatory and operational framework.

Every single casino in the group, including Bayswater, is licensed and monitored by the UK Gambling Commission. This is not something optional or just a marketing badge, it is a basic legal requirement to open the doors. The Commission sets rules around fairness of games, player protection, handling of funds and how operators should behave towards customers. When you play at our venue, those conditions apply automatically as a matter of law, rather than being an internal promise.

Planning Your First Visit

Reaching the casino is fairly direct. Bayswater and Queensway Underground stations, both on the Central Line with connecting routes nearby, sit within walking distance. If you are driving instead, the on-site free parking means you can arrive without needing to search for a space on nearby streets.

Here is what usually happens when you come in for the first time:

1. Make your way to 79-81 Queensway, London W2 4QH.
2. Bring government-issued photo ID that confirms you are 18 or older.
3. Show your ID at the entrance so our team can verify age before you go through.
4. Decide what you want to do first - play on the main gaming floor, check in at the poker room, or start in the bar and dining areas.
5. If poker is the focus of your visit, keep in mind that the poker room does not open until 6pm.
6. Ask the floor staff about current table limits, game formats or any live promotions running that day.
7. Use the restaurant or bar to break up a longer stay, or to take a pause between sessions.
8. If you want information in advance, call us on +44 207 221 8788 and the team will talk you through it.

Guests visiting during the day will find both the main floor and the slots in operation once they are signed in. The poker room is the only part of the venue that runs on a fixed timetable, so if that is your main game, it really is worth planning around it.

Responsible Gambling

As a licensed operator under the UK Gambling Commission, we must maintain clear responsible gambling measures across all Grosvenor locations. Bayswater follows those same rules. At any point during your visit, you can speak to a member of staff about setting personal limits or about where to find additional support resources. This is treated as a normal part of our role, not as an awkward conversation.

GamStop, the UK-wide self-exclusion register for gambling, is available to any player who decides they need to restrict their access to licensed gambling venues and online platforms. If you feel gambling is starting to cause problems, GamStop provides a structured way to put that block in place. Our team can also direct you towards further specialist support if you ask them.

The 18+ age rule is fully enforced. We do not bend that policy or make exceptions.

Contact and Location

The main phone number for Grosvenor Casino Bayswater is +44 207 221 8788. This line handles general questions such as live table availability, upcoming poker schedules, parking details or anything else you want to confirm before arriving.

For group information about Grosvenor Casinos, the primary site is grosvenorcasinos.com. The Bayswater page there carries current venue details and updates. We do not list a dedicated public email address for this particular casino, so calling by phone is usually the most direct contact method if you need an answer quickly.

Our position on Queensway puts the casino close to Notting Hill, Paddington and Hyde Park. If you are already in that part of London for shopping, work or an evening out, stopping in at Grosvenor Casino Bayswater does not require a long extra journey. You can stay in central London and still get a full casino experience without heading out towards the edge of the city.
