How does this letter-form communicate its location?

The era of the early 1900s, when film production started in Ealing, was also synonymous with the Art Nouveau art movement that dominated Europe and the United States. I found this beautiful Art Nouveau style Chemist near Ealing Broadway station with all its original features on the facade, the golden lettering on wood panelling all in pristine condition. It looks just like when D.L. Lewis first opened its doors in 1892. Ealing is very proud of this magnificent shop front made by highly skilled craftsmen/artisans. It's a time capsule in the 21st century.
