Comments:
The sign was erected in 2007 to mark the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Geological Society of London, the world’s first geological society.
The building in which the society was founded was known as the Freemasons’ Tavern, which served as both a meeting place and the offices of the Freemasons.

The place was photographed on the same day by the same photographer Click for a larger image
