opened our fourthrestaurant there, wetook this as inspirationfor the theme.
Bold artwork inspiredby steel making donsthe walls, and therestaurant has lots of tables for two alongsidebooth seating for partygroups as well as thetraditional PizzaExpressopen kitchen.
CrOYdON,GEOrGEsTrEETThis brand newrestaurant on GeorgeStreet in Croydonopened in December2011. Inspired by theelectrical engineerand inventor of theteleprinter, FrederickGeorge Creed
(1871–1957) - wholived and died in thearea - the artworkin this restaurantis derived from theiconic paper tapeused to punch holesin by the teleprinter.
