My "artsy" for today is the art deco sign still affixed to the building on King Street where the original "Novak's" used to be. The store was an icon in London for well over half a century.
Harry Novak opened the King St. store in 1939. The store’s name evolved into Novack’s when a rookie sign maker misspelled the family name and Novak didn’t have the heart to correct the well-meaning young man.
It opened as a music and luggage store and evolved into army surplus goods before morphing again into its final status as a top-end outdoor outfitter and adventure travel store. Today it lives on as a bookstore.
