More Little Shop of Humour

A quick cheers to the Blogfather for his continued support and office fist-bumps. Deserves a blog-post all to himself I have no doubt. Currently working on it, tentatively called Mr Pettigrew Lives for a Day.

And now to business, London's supply of witty shop names continues to prove inexhaustible. Here are some more:

Because sometimes pound shops are just too expensive:













Swingin' Low in Liverpool Street Station:



















Takeaway fish and blasphemy; it doesn't get much better:


















Need a fridge in Stoke Newington but wanna impress your friends with fancy shop names? Go no further.















Plus there's a Chinese takeaway called Violet near where I live in Leyton. Then one hungry evening when I googled it for the phone number, I discovered that "Violet Leyton" was in fact a character in a TV programme called The Duchess of Duke Street in 1976. Weird.

Oh London shop names, what other secret messages do you hide...
