Grosvenor's GUKPT London returns to The Victoria from April 9 to 19, 2026. The 11-day festival features a £250,000 guaranteed Main Event alongside high rollers and side events, offering various buy-in levels for local and traveling poker players in London.
Grosvenor has now published the GUKPT London schedule for 9 to 19 April 2026 at The Victoria in London, confirming an 11-day festival built around a £250,000 guaranteed Main Event and a full side-event slate.
The stop forms Leg 3 of the 2026 Grosvenor UK Poker Tour and returns to one of the most established rooms on the domestic circuit.
The headline tournament is the £1,250 Main Event, listed as £1,100 plus £150, with Day 1a on 16 April, Day 1b and a turbo Day 1c on 17 April, Day 2 on 18 April and the final day on 19 April.
Around it sits a schedule that gives players several different approaches to the week, from lower buy-in volume through the G500 and Mini Main to sharper shots in the £1,100 PLO High Roller and £2,000 NLHE High Roller.
Key festival facts
The festival runs from Thursday 9 April to Sunday 19 April 2026 at The Victoria, with an additional online closer on 20 and 21 April.
The published schedule includes the £100,000 guaranteed G500, the £150,000 guaranteed Mini Main, the £100,000 guaranteed High Roller, the £50,000 guaranteed PLO High Roller, the £50,000 guaranteed GUKPT Cup, a £25,000 guaranteed Last Chance and a £20,000 guaranteed Online Closer.
For UK players, that matters because London remains one of the few stops where locals, commuters and travelling regulars reliably collide in meaningful numbers.
Grosvenor is positioning this stop as one of the core domestic festivals of the spring, and The Vic remains one of the anchor venues on the UK live calendar.

What stands out in the schedule
The first half of the week is built for volume and flexibility. The G500 opens with five starting flights from 9 to 11 April, while the Mini Main follows with five flights from 12 to 14 April. That gives lower and mid-stakes players two clear festival anchors before the bigger buy-in events begin.
The middle of the schedule then pivots into higher-stakes action. The £1,100 PLO High Roller starts on 14 April, the £2,000 NLHE High Roller begins on 15 April, and the Main Event runs from 16 to 19 April.
For bankroll planning, that creates a clean progression rather than forcing players into major overlap from the start.
Satellites are also placed where they make practical sense. There is a £115 G500 satellite on 8 April, a £140 Main Event satellite on 13 April, a 10-seat Main Event satellite on 16 April, plus another £140 Main Event satellite on 17 April. There are also two £220 High Roller satellites on 14 and 15 April.
Why this London stop matters
In UK tournament terms, GUKPT London remains one of the tour’s most dependable domestic stops, and The Victoria is central to that identity.
The venue consistently draws a strong mix of local players, London-based regulars, rail commuters and travelling grinders, which helps keep fields healthy across both the flagship events and the side schedule.
That matters because not every UK live stop offers the same depth of choice. London usually gives players enough volume to build a full week around, while still keeping the Main Event as the central target.
For players weighing whether to fire multiple events or take a more selective approach, the published schedule gives them something concrete to work with.
Previous London form adds context
Recent GUKPT London festivals have shown that The Vic can still generate the kind of turnouts that make a domestic stop feel significant.
That recent form gives the April schedule more weight, because players are planning into a venue and series that has already proved it can create strong prize pools and busy fields.
For regulars, that is important. A packed domestic stop offers better game selection, more flexibility around satellites and side events, and a stronger overall sense that the week is worth committing to.
The UK player angle
For UK-based players, the decision is not really whether London is worth showing up for. It is how to attack it.
The schedule supports at least three clear routes: a lower-risk grind through the G500 and Mini Main, a satellite-led path into the Main Event, or a higher-stakes week built around the PLO and NLHE High Rollers.
That is what makes the publication of the schedule genuinely useful. Once buy-ins, times and guarantees are fixed, players can plan their bankroll, travel and volume properly rather than making it up as they go. In a market where strong domestic festival weeks still matter, that clarity counts.
