This is a lovely historic, Victorian, example of a “bossy” sign. It’s in Great Guildford Street, Southwark, London. I walked past it every day on my way to do Jury Service at Southwark Crown Court, which was a little ironic. No high tech crimes for me to struggle with. Just Ruffians, Pickpockets and Wankers. Exactly the sort of people this sign sets out to deter.

We wanted to preserve the memory of the old undertakers building that we redeveloped last year. As luck would have it London Signs had their workshop not far from our flat in Gipsy Hill. We commissioned this neon sign from them . Visiting the workshop was a great experience as many of the signs they make are iconic all over Britain. It’s lovely to see craftsman created signs that are not digitally designed.
