Crockfords, Casino in Curzon Street, United Kingdom
Crockfords was a gaming establishment located in a Grade I listed Georgian building from the 18th century at 30 Curzon Street. The venue held gaming tables and private rooms across multiple floors until its closure in October 2023.
William Crockford founded the original gentlemen's club in 1828, and the name became associated with high-stakes gaming for nearly 200 years. The establishment evolved through various periods and eventually closed permanently in 2023.
This establishment was a gathering place for British high society, where members came to play games and maintain their social bonds. The private rooms reflected the exclusive nature of the venue and its role as a retreat for the upper classes.
The building is located in Mayfair, a central London district with good public transport connections. Visitors should note that the venue is no longer operational or publicly accessible as of 2023.
Professional poker player Phil Ivey won £7.7 million in 2012 using edge-sorting techniques, leading to a major legal dispute over whether his methods were legitimate. The case became a landmark decision that changed how casinos approach game security and player conduct.
