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 cool to discover old things like this! ;-)
