Here's one for palimpsest decryptologists...

I've been past this one a few times but each time I didn't have a camera on me.  It's on Hither Green Lane, SE13, opposite Beacon Road.

There's evidence of 2, maybe 3 layers.

What I can make out from the off licence part with the white background is:

FOX & SONS
 BEERS
ALES  STOUT

IN BOTTLE AND CASK

The word WINES also appears over, or under, ALES and STOUT.

Between the top line and ALES STOUT there's BEER, which obscures a word that ends .....NBOROUGH. Farnborough?  And from another layer there's also the word AGENT written diagonally in the top left corner. And to add to the confusion, there's an E which extends beyond the top-right white background.

I really have no idea...
