Hand-painted history – Ghostsigns are the remains of historic advertising for businesses or brands that are no longer available at that site, or simply faded remnants of old forms of street-facing promotion.Look above street level to see hints of history that show us how Soho has evolved throughout the decades.
Hear the stories behind the names and companies depicted on the signs. Marvel at hand-painted boards for furniture-makers, garages, cafés, chemists and gentlemen's outfitters. See shop fronts, mosaics and metalwork offering a diverse range of products that are no longer available to us, such as turned wood, watches, weapons and waiters' outfits.
