On Goose Green parade in East Dulwich, a former Papa John's Pizza was replaced by Banook Bagels, upon removing the PJP signage, it revealed the signage of the original drapers M & M Boyes dating back to the late C19th, which they decided to keep. A nice touch in an over-commercialised world! 🥯🥯🥯
View of the front elevation of Banook Bagels shop with people sat at tables outside under a yellow and white striped awning.
