What’s in a name?

February 14, 2008 · Posted in Funny, London 

I just got back from a very pleasant excursion to South London; an oxymoron, I know. On my way I catalogued some quaint and some not so quaint shop signs.

The first one is lovely - it’s just down the Walworth Road from me: Mixed Blessings Bakery. Later on there was another nicely named bakery in Camberwell, this time on a more classical theme: Socrates Bakery.

Then there was Albertine’s, a pub. Not somewhere you’d have expected to bump into Proust though.

Next, and probably my favourite, was Innovations - Unravelling Potentials. You can see what they mean, but unravelling perhaps wasn’t the best word choice.

Finally, and the comedy kind of writes itself here, was Rimworld. Nice.
