The newly designed space features state-of-the-art equipment within an environment carefully crafted to enhance the gaming experience. With rich dark wood finishes and precision lighting, it creates an intimate yet energising setting. A standout feature of the refurbishment is the installation of innovative plasma screen technology on the ceiling, which subtly shifts lighting throughout the day. Mimicking natural outdoor light conditions, it creates a unique atmospheric experience which connects to the players natural Circadian rhythms. "Leicester Square has always been synonymous with entertainment excellence, and our refurbished venue reinforces that reputation," says Horizons Director, Jeremy Cummins. "We've created an environment that respects the serious nature of gaming while providing the comfort and service that today's players expect." The venue's gaming offering is enhanced by the introduction of Skewd, Horizons’ new catering partner. Skewd’s open fire mangal and Anatolian cuisine concept, led by founder and executive chef Maz Demir, adds a distinctive culinary dimension that differentiates Horizons Casino from other London gaming venues. A private dining room, seating up to 12, is also available for intimate events and corporate entertainment. As part of the new layout, Horizons will be launching the new terrace seating up to 65, which will be home to Skewd at Horizons, a first in the casino’s history, giving guests a vibrant, al fresco experience at one of London’s most iconic hotspots. With 37 years of continuous operation, Horizons Casino stands as Leicester Square's longest-established gaming venue. Beyond its gaming credentials, Horizons’ location within the Queen's House, Leicester Square, provides a unique backdrop that few London gaming establishments can match. This heritage brings invaluable experience in understanding player preferences and maintaining the highest operational standards that have kept its members returning year after year. Horizons and Skewd is open to patrons over 18 years of age, from Friday, 20 June, combining world-class gaming with exceptional Anatolian cuisine in the heart of London's West End. |
