Blooms Pianos
I photographed this fantastic sign today after going past it so many times on the bus. It’s just by the Geoffrey Museum in Shoreditch and is covered at this time of year by a big tree.

I’ll have to get back on a winter morning for another shot.

It was situated on this unassuming building at the end of a terrace on Southgate Road, De Beauvoir, but has now […]
