World Turned Upside Down, 145 Old Kent Road, Bermondsey, London SE1
This 1930s pub was designed by A W Blomfield. Exterior refurbishment of this pub revealed original fascia incised lettering on the ground floor frontage: 'WATNEY'S ALES ... THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN ... REID'S STOUT'. By 2012, the building had been extended upwards as a block of flats, with the ground floor converted to retail, but the original pub ground floor stone fascia has been retained. In 2017, the right-hand Reid's sign was obscured by a modern Domino's Pizza sign, but the Watney sign on the left was still exposed.
