Genting Casino Cromwell Road - Gaming Venue Overview

Gaming at Cromwell Road

We are based at 43-45 Cromwell Road, South Kensington, London, SW7 2EF, and form part of the wider Genting Casinos UK network. The venue operates under the licence held by Genting Casinos UK Limited and is regulated by the UK Gambling Commission. Day-to-day local regulation comes via the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, so everything we do sits inside the Gambling Act 2005 framework. That is the short legal snapshot.

Our doors open every day at 12pm and we run through until 5am. Live table games come into play from 2pm onwards, so there is always a quieter slot early afternoon before the full gaming floor gets going. For most guests, this works pretty well - Cromwell Road naturally fits people heading out after dinner or leaving a nearby show or bar. South Kensington has plenty going on before you step through our doors.

We would class Cromwell Road as a mid-size casino, not a pure high-roller spot. The feel is deliberately relaxed. Our aim with this site has always been to stay approachable, whether you are walking into a casino for the first time or you know the team by name. Gaming is only part of it: there are food and drinks on offer and a social atmosphere, and a lot of guest feedback highlights our staff as a big part of why people return.

Planning a Visit and Booking

The simplest way to sort out a group visit is to call us. Phone bookings are still the quickest route for anything involving several people. Reach the team on +44 020 7589 4041 during opening hours and we can run through availability, which tables are open, and any details you want to fix in advance. If you are planning a night out for a group, it is genuinely easier to ring us rather than just turning up and hoping for space.

One practical note that helps at any casino, not only here: if it is your first time, give yourself some spare time at the start of the evening. Registration, age checks, taking a quick look around the floor - these small bits easily eat ten or fifteen minutes.

For a first visit to Genting Casino Cromwell Road, a simple sequence usually looks like this:

1. Call us on +44 020 7589 4041 while we are open (12pm - 5am).
2. Tell the team your preferred date and a rough arrival time.
3. Mention which game you want to play so we can discuss table availability.
4. Ask for any special seating or event arrangements if you need them.
5. Keep in mind live tables start at 2pm and plan around that.
6. Bring valid photo ID with you, as age verification is checked at the door.
7. Allow a little time for on-site membership registration on your first visit.
8. During the same call, confirm any food or drink reservations if that is part of your plan.

UK casinos require guests to register as members before they start playing. This applies at Cromwell Road and across the Genting estate in general. Registration is completed on-site and normally only takes a few minutes, but knowing about it ahead of time keeps the arrival experience smooth.

The Floor and What’s On It

Live table games are at the heart of our offer, running from 2pm every day. We do not publish a full, game-by-game inventory for Cromwell Road, but the setup follows the pattern you find in other mid-size Genting venues. The focus is social play in a shared environment instead of a purely competitive feel. Alongside the live tables, we also have electronic gaming available.

The bar and food service are there to support your time on the floor, not as a separate bolt-on. Guests often mention that drink prices are fairly reasonable considering the South Kensington location, which is worth knowing when you are weighing up where to spend an evening. You can happily treat Cromwell Road as the main destination for the night, not only as a brief stop-off between other venues. Genting positions this casino that way too: a full night out, not just a gaming room.

From Cromwell Mint to Forty Five Kensington to Now

The casino space at this address has a bit of history behind it and has traded under several names while staying in the same building. Older casino directories list the site as Genting Casino Cromwell Mint. That label relates to an earlier operation on Cromwell Road, before the current Genting Casino Cromwell Road name was introduced. Those past references sometimes show 24-hour opening times and a count of 59 gaming machines, which almost certainly reflects how the casino once operated, not how it runs today.

After Cromwell Mint, the venue went through a rebrand to Forty Five Kensington. That name appeared widely across local listings, review sites and on social media for a while. In April 2026, the shift to the current Genting Casino Cromwell Road identity was confirmed, and the former Forty Five Kensington Instagram account directed its followers over to the main @gentingcasinosuk channel.

To summarise that evolution:

1. Cromwell Mint - the earlier casino operation at this Cromwell Road address.
2. Forty Five Kensington - a later rebrand positioned very much as a local name.
3. Genting Casino Cromwell Road - our current name, aligned with the UK Genting network from April 2026.

So if you see older reviews, map entries or social posts talking about Forty Five Kensington or Cromwell Mint at postcode SW7 2EF, they are referring to us. The address is the same and the building is the same. Only the branding on the door has changed over time.

Cromwell Road Within the Genting UK Network

Genting Casinos UK Limited operates casinos in major UK cities including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh and Coventry. Cromwell Road is one piece of that network, sitting in the London group alongside places such as Genting Casino Chinatown and Genting Casino Palm Beach Club. All of them work under the same corporate licence held by Genting Casinos UK Limited. You can see Cromwell Road listed as an active, regulated premises on the UK Gambling Commission’s public register.

South Kensington brings together hotel guests, visitors to the museums, and local residents. With our late closing time, Cromwell Road offers a genuine late-night option in an area that people usually associate more with galleries and restaurants than with nightlife. In that sense the casino fills a gap rather than going head-to-head with existing venues.

Guests who already know other Genting casinos will find the same operational standards here. Anti-money laundering rules, responsible gaming obligations, checks to protect customers - all of these come through the Gambling Act 2005 and Genting’s own policies, and we follow the same framework at Cromwell Road as the rest of the estate.
