Owner Marios George

Marios George initially qualified as a barrister. Career : Went to Strasbourg to help his brother open a nightclub in 1982. From 1983-89 the nightclub empire grew to 9 nightclubs, three restaurants and a radio station. In 1991 he acquired nightclubs in Romford, Ipswich and Southend and in 1993 launched "Club UK" in Wandsworth. The company grew and ran a chain of Global Net Cafes. In 1998 Marios moved his half of the business into an AIM listed company, Pembertons. In 1998 Pembertons bought the original Smollensky's in the Strand and then opened a further seven other locations. In 2000 he opened Attica, the haunt of celebrities and in July 2005 opened Nozomi with head Chef Nassar Laziri as a top class tradiional Japanese restaurant in Beauchamp Place. Very much a place for the glitteratti. The luxury decor suits the style of the place – dazzling white interiors with silk walls & the odd splash of dark wood to offset it.
