Known as 'The Drapery' and built in 1938, this large art deco department store, situated between the junctions of Axminster Road and Sussex Way on Seven Sisters Road in Islington, London, is a hot property. These two photos were taken in July 2006, but since then the building has been refurbished and converted into 118 swanky apartments, with retail on the ground floor. Near to the Emirates Stadium, those apartments are not going to be cheap! The restoration included repairs to the faience façade of decorative glazed tiles.
The photo above is of what appears to have originally been the main entrance, on Axminster Road.
