GUIDED WALKING TOURS

That's Entertainment!

Discover Leicester Square’s story through its most dazzling stage. For 125 years, the Hippodrome has stood at the centre of London’s glittering nightlife – a place of drama, reinvention and pure spectacle. That’s Entertainment! is a new walking tour from Amazing London, created to mark this milestone with rare access and personal stories from the West End’s most iconic venue. 

The journey begins in Leicester Square, tracing its transformation from elegant Georgian square to the beating heart of international entertainment. From there, step inside the legendary Hippodrome for an insider’s look at 125 years of glamour – from circus and cabaret to disco and today’s world-class casino. Intimate and immersive, the experience is enriched with memories from the Hippodrome’s heyday, as Amazing London founder Jane Vernol draws on her own years working there in the 80s and 90s to share a rare behind-the-scenes perspective.
