NW3, Pond Street, 3 Warwick Mansions

The bookshop here where Orwell worked was 'Booklovers' Corner'.

October 2010: The local paper reported that the face on this plaque has been chipped off.  January 2013 Nick Booth sent us a photo showing exactly that - very sad.  Then, October 2014: The Ham and High reports that the face is back.  Hoorah!  Not exactly the same; the new one is bronze coloured and looks fatter.  We'll keep our picture so you know what the original looked like.

July 2015: The CNJ reports that this head has been unveiled for the third time.  Now cast in resin everyone is hopeful that it will be the last.
