The Mint Casino

View Larger Map

Cromwell Mint Casino, now part of the Stanley Leisure Group and renamed The Mint Casino London, is a lovely club in the heart of Kensington, offering a first class friendly service in a very pleasant environment. One of my favourite casinos.

It has two gaming areas, two bars, a buffet area and a restaurant. The main gaming area is in the lower floor, where periodical complimentary buffet and bar drinks are served.

The other gaming area called the "Silver Room" is in the upper floor along with the reastaurant and the Sports Bar. The Silver Room has an exclusive environment for high rollers, allowing higher limit bets.

The Sports Bar shows live sporting action on wide screen TV. The adjacent restaurant offers an extensive menu including Oriental and European dishes. The food is first class, the prices are reasonable and the service is excellent. I highly recommend it to those who enjoy dining as much as gambling.
