Grand Union, the eight-strong London-based bar group backed by serial sector investor Luke Johnson, has confirmed plans to expand by 20 new sites over the next three years as it launches a new phase of its growth strategy.

Sites under consideration include: Soho and central London; Balham and Battersea, south-west London; Ealing, west London;  and the City, Dalston, Shoreditch and Hackney to the east.
Grand Union is also considering expanding nationwide to sites in Brighton, Cambridge, Bath, Cardiff, Oxford, Canterbury, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Guildford (Surrey) and Leeds.
