“Not pretty. But if you came to play cards, this is the room.”
“The Vic” on the Edgware Road is a serious, unpretentious gaming house — open 24 hours, with one of the busiest poker rooms in the capital and a long run of history behind it.
You do not come here for chandeliers. You come for the cards, the electronic roulette and a straightforward kitchen, with Paddington and Marylebone beds minutes away.
A big, no-frills poker room is the draw, with cash games and tournaments most of the day and night, alongside electronic roulette and live tables. Functional, friendly and focused on the game.
Paddington and Marylebone hotels are minutes away by foot or cab, which suits a late poker session — play as long as you like and a bed is never far.
Relaxed dress. Photo ID required. Free membership. Confirm poker schedules and 24-hour opening before travelling.
