I've tied to blow it up to 250% but the definition is too poor.  Not in London as a child this rings no bells with me, again so many of the old brewers have gone.  But just Beer in bold letters, sadly I was too young to appreciate such nectar then.  ....

I'm going to stick my neck out and say its coming from Archway on 41 bus to turn left into Hornsey Rise. Or on 210 turn right into Hornsey Rise  The buildings on the left have gone. But the pub in middle, and 'Alladins Cave'  shop on right still there.

Who is right??

Oh. I guessed this without reading comments below which mainly agree. Love the comments about the detail.

Here's a NOW shot. Not far to the left was The Favourite pub, which got its name from the Shilibeer buses which in the 1900s terminated there from the City?.

Taken from a modern EU-made bus plying the 41 route with a not-very-clean upper windscreen. Shame about the shops & houses on the left.
