VIP clubs for high rollers
Mayfair is the heart of London's "high" casino scene. Here are concentrated closed clubs for premium guests and high limits, as well as premium open-format venues. In 2025, the landscape was noticeably updated: traditional private clubs retain strict membership rules, and some legends have closed or changed ownership. Below is an up-to-date map and practical tips.
1) Key Mayfair sites in 2025
Les Ambassadors Club (Hamilton Place) is a historic members-only club with private rooms and subtle etiquette. Emphasized exclusivity: entry by decision of the committee and annual fees, club rules and a premium program for players.
Wynn Mayfair (formerly Crown London Aspinalls, Curzon Street) - John Aspinell's famous private club came under the Wynn brand and in June 2025 was renamed Wynn Mayfair; format - members-only, emphasis on private VIP lounges and board games.
The Palm Beach Casino (Berkeley Street) is one of Mayfair's most notable open-format premium venues (not just for members), with a large playing floor and extended evening opening hours.
The Colony Club (Hertford Street) - a luxurious Genting venue in Mayfair: a restaurant, bar and casino with an emphasis on service for a sophisticated audience; the license status is confirmed in the operator's materials.
Historical heritage and closures
Crockfords (Curzon Street) - the oldest brand in the elite scene - closed in October 2023, becoming a symbol of change in the high-end segment.
The Ritz Club and The Clermont also stopped working earlier, which emphasizes the rotation in the elite club market.
2) How access works: membership, invitations, format
Members-only (Les Ambassadors, Wynn Mayfair): entry by committee recommendation/decision, annual dues, strict guest control and privacy.
Premium-open (Palm Beach, Colony Club): entrance for 18 +, subject to the rules of the institution, VIP zones/programs for high rollers are possible.
3) Limits, games and service
High-limit tables in private halls (baccarat/blackjack/roulette) are the hallmark of members-only clubs. Format - few tables, high personal service and privacy.
Large playing floors and a variety of tables/slots are a strength of Palm Beach and a number of premium outdoor Mayfair venues.
4) Etiquette and dress code
Smart elegant/smart casual is the standard, but in members-only clubs the requirements are stricter; the final word is for house rules.
Privacy: Photos/videos are often limited; guests are accompanied by club staff.
5) Safety, responsible play and compliance
All Mayfair sites operate within the framework of UKGC licenses and standards: age/identity verification, safer gambling measures, AML/KYC procedures. For players, this means clear rules, access to self-control tools and public channels for complaints.
6) How to plan a visit (practically)
1. Define the format. Need a private members-only atmosphere? Consider Les Ambassadors or Wynn Mayfair (subject to membership requirements). Want a large floor and late hours without a membership? See Palm Beach/Colony Club.
2. Contact in advance. For members-only - contact the club about the entry/guest visit. For open areas - specify hours and rules.
3. Prepare ID (18 +). In the elite segment, identity verification is the norm; the "Challenge 25" policy can be applied.
4. Observe etiquette. Dress code, bans on photos/videos, respect for privacy and table limits - strictly.
7) Trends 2025: Why things are changing
Consolidation and restarts. Crown London Aspinalls' move under the Wynn brand is an example of global operators coming to London high-end and updating the offering.
Reduction of "historic" clubs. The closure of Crockfords, formerly Ritz/Clermont, shows that the elite segment is rebuilding to fit new guest habits and tightened compliance.
Balance of privacy and openness. In parallel with private clubs, demand is kept by premium "open" areas - a convenient entrance, a large selection of games and VIP zones.
Mayfair in 2025 is a synthesis of tradition and renewal. Les Ambassadors and Wynn Mayfair retain an elitist, private model with impeccable service; Palm Beach and Colony Club give a premium experience without mandatory membership. A visit to the Mayfair VIP Casino is about etiquette, confidentiality and discipline of the game: check the rules and hours in advance, prepare an ID and respect the privacy of the club and guests. So you will get exactly the high, calm and impeccably organized experience for which high rollers from all over the world come here.
