The surroundings of the new branch of the hit Malaysian diner Roti King couldn’t be more different than those of its sister site. There, a stone’s throw from Euston – surely London’s ugliest rail station – queues regularly snake around the drab grey block, flocking into its basement for a cheap and cheerful bowl of steaming laksa or fluffy roti canai.

Site two’s home is a different story, sitting under the arches close to Battersea Power Station. It’s part of a huge redevelopment project in the area that accompanies the recent opening of the glossy new Northern line tube station nearby.
