Marmadukes, which has traded on Norfolk Row since 2012, has taken a unit on Cambridge Street on the ground floor of Grosvenor House, underneath the new HSBC offices that are part of the £470 million Heart of the City II scheme. The fit-out has been happening since late last year, and the place will launch on Monday, January 20. This is what the new café looks like inside.

More than £300,000 has been invested in the new venture. Hillsborough-based Star Upholstery worked on the soft furnishings, and Peter Foster, of Aspect Developments, has created sturdy metal railings, tables and even toilet roll holders. Photo: Dean Atkins
