The people of Ordnance Road must be far luckier with their hair than me, 3 salons in a row!

It is Balham Telephone Exchange, I think, 67 Upper Tooting Road.
The two painted ads are at the bottom of the escalator at South Wimbledon Station.

@royreed.bsky.social @ghostsigns.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy
What do we reckon about these? The first 2 are at South Wimbledon tube station, and they look to be painted rather than posters. The other is in Tooting. It is still a telephone exchange but there is a new buzzer and entryphone opposite.

@royreed.bsky.social Unfortunately, though not unsurprisingly, this one is now gone too.

@royreed.bsky.social Gone, alas. You can just see the frame for the roof in the Street view pic, that now blocks the rest of the sign.

I remember making little dioramas like that from Weetabix packets. Back of the box and little cutout figures inside.

It may be that some is still visible from the right angle, I'll have to take a spin during the day to see.

@royreed.bsky.social Another one gone, the Church's & Cheaney one in Fulham. Now looks like this... courtesy of Google Street View.

Tricky as I reckon the first (few) letters may be missing. 2nd row - cement, or element.

First one might be gambling related. The last one is too similar to the English to not be the same.... I should add, I do r speak Spanish.
