Lesser-Known London Landmarks No. 1 - Art Novelty Co. Building






Now owned by Murray Prepress, Ltd., and before that by Dobbyn Creative Printing for over 60 years, this fine example of Streamline Moderne commercial/industrial building started life housing an enterprise called the Art Novelty Company in the 1940s, mostly printing calendars.

The curved corner, glass block windows and Helvetica fonts on this building at the corner of Wellington Road and Grand Ave. are all well-preserved.
