Noble House Restaurant
The present-day Chinese restaurant continues a long association with the Chinese take-away that stretches back over forty years to its predecessor the Hong Kong Garden.
In 1978, local girl Susan Ballion, later known as Siouxsie Sioux with punk rock group Siouxsie and the Banshees, released their first single record Hong Kong Garden… named after the restaurant that occupied this site through the 1970s and 80s. The record reached number 7 in the charts and began a long career in music that continues today for Siouxsie.
