Passed by the British Board of Film Censors on 30 October 1959 with an "A" certificate, then premiered at the Empire, Leicester Square, on 16 December 1959 where it ran for 76 weeks. Whilst he Empire was closed for re-development the film transferred to the Royalty where it ran for a further 49 weeks, finally ending its West End run on 6 May 1962. MGM deliberately kept other cities waiting with Birmingham's 35-week run not commencing until 1 September 1960, Manchester's 37-week run from 28 November 1960, and even later Liverpool's 26-week run from 28 May 1961. The provincial road show at inflated prices carried on until mid-1963, but some towns refused to show Ben-Hur until prices returned to normal. MGM finally granted the film a general release at normal prices on 8 December 1963. Re-issued in 1969, London's Casino Cinerama showed the film from 26 December 1969 for 19 weeks.
