This is the eighth in our series in which we ask you to identify where in London this picture was taken and what it’s of. If you reckon you know the answer, leave a comment below. We’ll reveal the answer early next week. Good luck!
And the answer is…that this is an image of one of the signs which project hang in Lombard Street in the City. Named for the Italian bankers who once occupied it, Lombard Street contains numerous signs once used to advertise the services of various banking institutions. The signs were banished by King Charles II after the Restoration but was revived in honor of the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902.
