I found this today: 6 Commercial Street, E1: 01 247 5769.

I took the photo in 2009, but Streetview today shows the same signage.

Still there today, and a quick Google of the number brings you straight back to this thread

blogger 'diamond geezer' has one from lea bridge road today, complete with very 'groovy' typeface probably from late 60s / early 70s

 

[Puddy_Tat]

on the basis it's never open when i go past (when the shutter is down it hides the 01 in the window), i've resorted to street view

clock / watch repairer on Burnt Ash Hill, Lee



bonus points for also having an 081 number on display by the door. no visible 0181 to make the full set though (and it opened some time in the 80s so not old enough to have a number with the exchange name)

I've seen many lately beginning just 7. A few today like this, any good?

Apologies for the crapitude of the picture - I was at a red light and this was the only shot I could get so the 01 is partially obscured (back-scured?) by the light. But a car dealership in, I think, Wimbledon Chase is sporting a number almost as old as what looks to be a Rolls Corniche inside.

I pass by this place quite a lot and I don't think Ive ever seen it open. It seems like it's been shuttered for a long time.

went past this place on High Street North, East Ham today (but wasn't in a position to photograph it)



And somewhere further up the road has their phone number shown in the format 0208 1234 567

Oh, that's very near where I am, I hadn't spotted that - but yeah kind of obvious now I see it and it is the same exchange I am on, Albert Dock. Nice find!

I'm now sitting in my front room which stinks of shit because the cat we have just adopted dropped an 02 in the carrier on the way back from seeing that sign.

From Celia Hammond?

I feel as though we need photos once kitty has settled in.

I'm sure there is a story to be told about "Continental Motors" of Canning Town.
