Shop, Woolwich

I found this modest deco shop in Woolwich, south-east London.

At street level, the building has been modernised and could be any London shop but the upper floors boast a wonderful covering of cream tiles with a band of dark tiles above the windows. Above the band, in the close up below, you can see that the tiles are scalloped to provide another level of decoration.

The column between the windows continues through to a great stepped ornament at the roofline.
