Maxims Casino Club occupies a beautiful Victorian town house close to Kensington Palace, built in 1862 for John Forster, the friend and biographer of Charles Dickens. Palace Gate House still retains many of the features which John Forster originally commissioned.

'A house built for a gentleman by gentlemen' was the description given to Palace Gate House on the completion of its reconstruction in 1899. This handsome tribute came from G.H. Leonard, writing in the Studio, the avant-garde spokesman of his time. 

The interior of Palace Gate House is remarkable for having been preserved almost intact and today lends its air of graciousness to Maxims Casino Club, providing members and their guests with an exclusive and unique gaming experience.
