I spotted this wonderful green and gold tiled sign and the carved date stone on what is now an apartment building in Fitzrovia but must have been a commercial establishment in the past. The building itself had a lot of little carvings scattered about but I really liked this Art Nouveau sign the best!

It's a wonderful old sign with a terrific font.
Beautiful and interesting sign find!
Gorgeous, glad they kept it.
It's gorgeous, and typographically fascinating. Look at the letter E in the second line and then in the last line. And so much more! Wonderful.
