Westminster City Council wants to build a high-rise casino close to Leicester Square. The government had previously proposed to allow mega casinos in major cities, but they pulled back in late 2004. East London's Olympic Park and Milton Keynes's casino were opened in 2011 and 2012 respectively.  The plans came to light in October 2021.

Westminster City Council is planning a new high-rise casino close to Leicester Square. The initial plans target Huguenot House, which has fallen into disrepair. Westminster City council has revised and enacted its own new Gambling Policy. It has been in place since 31 January 2022. New hours, spatial policies, management considerations, and permit policies were updated. The main aim of the council is to bring more life and tourism back to the West End.

The Westminster City Council wants to build a mega casino in Leicester Square. London has its fair share of casinos and gambling venues. The most famous of them is The Hippodrome Casino, which is just down the road from the Leicester Station. There is also the London Poker Room and Her Majesty's Theatre. 5G will be rolled out in 2020. Leicester is a well-connected city. Greggs opened its new store in the area on 18 July this year. It was a fun way to put the food store on the map.
