This 1986 close-up shows the ornate painted sign for the Tavern on the Park in De Vere Gardens, with bold Victorian-style lettering advertising Wm Younger & Co Ltd, traditional ales, fine wines & spirits and cold & hot food readily available. The design, with its top-hatted figure, curling decorative flourishes and black background picked out in cream, red and green, gives the frontage a deliberately old-fashioned pub character that stood out in this part of Kensington. Smaller wording at the bottom proudly adds that the premises were air freshly circulated by patented apparatus, one of those wonderfully period touches that makes signs like this so memorable. It is a fine record of painted pub advertising in 1980s London, preserving both the name of the establishment and the traditional brewery-style branding that helped shape its identity.
