BURGER chain Byron is opening a branch in Fulham.

A giant poster advertising its arrival has been put up on a vacant building in Fulham Broadway, at the junction with Harwood Road.

The chain has grown quickly since opening its first branch in 2007 and now has nearly 30 restaurants, most of them in London.

It will rival New Zealand firm Gourmet Burger Kitchen for business in Fulham.

Byron could not give any firm date for the planned opening when contacted for comment.
