How does this letter-form communicate its location?

I found out this is an advertisement for Metronomy’s new album. I thought it was interesting when comparing it to the Windover Piano sign as it shows that music has always been important in Wandsworth. Since the 12th Century Wandsworth has been a hub for immigrants from all over the world, maybe music is such a big part of it because everyone can understand it, no matter what language they speak. I think this says so much about Wandsworth now as it is still a cultural hub with many nationalities living in the same town.
