If you've ever wondered why... it is called the Hippodrome?
The word comes from the Greek ‘hippos’ (horse) and ‘dromos’ (racecourse). When it opened, the name suggested scale, spectacle, and excitement – a perfect fit for a circus of variety.

I've been loving taking people around the Hippodrome on my walking tour 🎭. Most are amazed at its history. When it opened in 1900 the arena could transform in a minute and host incredible water spectacles. If you'd like to learn more, join the walk, That's Entertainment!

Before Hollywood… before fame…a young Charlie Chaplin appeared on stage at the Hippodrome!

From Leicester Square to the Hippodrome, our walk traces the footsteps of legends — long before the lights of Hollywood found them.

Thrilled to see my walk mentioned in @Londonist ‘Things to do’ guide this week! Come join me amazinglondon.eventbrite.com
