Why would a restaurant called "London Restaurant" in Hong Kong have nothing to do with London or anything British?

I voted to close as opinion based, but couldn't resist a quick search. And presto, the restaurant in question has a web site which says:
The London Hong Kong Brand started more than 15 years ago in the heart of the infamous London China Town. Today, the brand occupies a prime location near Heathrow. Diners new to the London Hong Kong can expect to receive a traditional yet modern Chinese dining experience from the in-house trained team within an exquisitely designed surrounding.
Trip advisor reviews say the Hong Kong location is an authentic push-trolley dim-sum place, on the 4th floor, which matches your snippets from the TV show.
So the answer appears to be that the owners had a restaurant in London's Chinatown, and now also have one in Hong Kong and are using the same name for locations in both countries. Which turns out not to be surprising or weird at all.
