Indian restaurant the Painted Heron in London's Chelsea has teamed up with Charles Hill, owner of Bangalore Express, to launch a second restaurant in the City.
The new Bangalore Express, which will open on 21 September, will comprise a 135-seat basement restaurant on Gracechurch Street.
Serving a classic Indian menu, the new £1.9m eatery will also include a 40-cover bar area serving an Indian tapas menu.

Outline Architects has created a red and grey interior which mixes booths and freestanding tables.
This will be Bangalore Express's second London restaurant, after the original site in Waterloo.
