Maxims, the exclusive Kensington casino, has been put up for sale by its Malaysian owner with a price tag of at least £40m.
Genting, which has owned the casino for more than a decade, is thought to have appointed CBRE, the property consultancy, to handle the sale. The move could be announced as soon as today.
Maxims is based inside Palace Gate House, a grade II listed Victorian townhouse built for John Forster, the friend and biographer of Charles Dickens, in the 1860s.
