The London Hippodrome was built in 1900; and in a hundred years, it hosted plenty of venues, only a few of which were more or less successful. Of course, there is no Londoner, who doesn't know this place. It is also known worldwide. The Hippodrome has even seen
AC/DC, Ella Fitzgerald, INXS, The Jacksons 5 and many other legends. Since the late 2000s, it has been operating as a completely new sort of a casino, cabaret, and a live music venue.
