Bloomsbury/Ridgmount Petrol Station

Categories: Commerce, Transport

As one of the last local petrol stations in London, it was nominated for listing, but the proposal was turned down. Instead it was converted into a branch of the Byron Burger chain, which has since gone the same way as the petrol station. It is now (2019) an Italian restaurant.
