This site is based on a walk by Phil Baines for his graphic design students which was then written up for the 1997 ATypI conference. This walk concentrates on larger examples of public lettering in central London and doesn’t mention incidentals. Much of the pleasure of this kind of walk is finding things yourself. Although also ‘public,' it entirely ignores advertising hoardings, store signs and most corporate identities as these are usually approached as pieces of graphic design rather than opportunities for specialist, site–specific lettering.
