Cette façade fait partie du nouveau site de la Banque de France à La Courneuve : si le reste du pôle construit sur une ancienne friche industrielle est d’architecture contemporaine, un immeuble de 1923 y a également été intégré après une rénovation tout à fait pimpante.

A rather nice #ArtDeco building on Tottenham Court Road, #Fitzrovia, #London. (There was a Japanese Canteen branch on the ground floor when I lived in London.)
