Yeah - there's two of those royal crests actually - one on Brixton Road and one on Coldharbour Lane.

Does anyone have any info on the history of the "London Hotel" building? It's intriguing. (That pebble dash isn't though... eesh.) From the sad exterior state (look at those lovely stained glass windows with missing bits and sections that have been replaced(?) the wrong way around) I'm quite surprised to see that it looks like this inside.

There was a planning site visit there around 1995 to consider the application to convert the upper storey to a hotel. I was there, as were some people from Connaught Mansions.
The planning officers did not care for the idea of the hotel - they jokingly referred to it as "the brothel" but they said there were no planning grounds for refusal (some things never change do they?).
If there is anyone on here from Connaught Mansions they may have more information on any recent previous use and dates - since they overlook it. From the street you wouldn't really notice what is going on on the upper level.
Might be one to put on the list for research at the archives. There might be documentation about Temperance Billiard Halls as an entity - they seemed to be all over - Clapham High Street and St John's Hill both had one I think.

If we're allowed stuff in Ruskin and Brockwell Parks, then I'm allowed this one, as the crow flies.

Thanks boohoo and lang rabbie! Funny to see that the Temperance Billiard Halls originated in Pendleton, that's basically where my other half is from.
