UCL, Gordon St

Torrington Square

Entrance in Chester Rd

Euston Rd entrance to former National Amalgamated Approved Society building. I have no idea what this building is currently used for and now from looking at the way this and the gate at the Melton St entrance are chanied and padlocked shut I'm beginning to wonder whether it is currently empty. Another bit of unused prime real estate?

What interests me about these signs is that although they appear to date from the same time there are subtle differences. They are situated opposite each other at the junction with Bayswater Rd. Why the colon after the leading to... on the upper sign? Why have the postcode twice on the lower one (which also appears to use a narrower font)? Also, on this pair, both streets are given the same prominence whereas in the Orme Court sign (previous pic) the leading to... is in a smaller font (which is generally the case I seem to recall).
