There’s a chance to buy a London street sign as a batch of old signs no longer needed are put up for auction. The distinctive street signs are all from Westminster, and were first created by Sir Misha Black in 1967, and are still a copyrighted design that needs permission from Westminster Council to reproduce.
Although some of the big-name signs — Abbey Road — are going to be sold for a princely sum, there’s a lot of signs for sale, and some of them could be interesting gifts. Such as names ranging from Barrett; Bateman; Beaumont or Beethoven through to Brendon, Charles, Douglas, Graham and Trevor.
Harry Potter fans might like the Diagon Alley look-a-like, Goodwin’s Court.
Some of the signs also have typing errors, if that sort of thing appeals.
The auction is being run by Catherine Southon Auctioneers & Valuers from 17th February to 3rd March 2021 and can be viewed here.
The signs are being sold as the council is replacing them, and the funds from the auction go back to the council.
