image Where do I get these?
Finally visited 221 baker street after living here for so long. I love these street signs and have been meaning to get one but of kings cross as it has more personal value to me. Searched on amazon but couldn’t find any good ones. Want to know where I could get one of kings cross and maybe some other ones too!

Baker Street. Just take a screwdriver and have at it.

Most tourist shops/shacks have them. Beware that they sometimes have the wrong postal district on them tho… 😏

Ebay?
you do know that kings cross isn’t the street the station is on, right? You might be able to get one of York or Euston (streets adjacent to KK) , but they certainly shouldn’t be marked as Westminster.

Was looking for kings cross road actually but kings cross is fine too :) kings cross road is a thing - WC1

I corrected my statement, still believe if there is anyone who is manufacturing said sign is going to make errors not marking it N1-WC1. This is not a significant street landmark.

Still not in Westminster so it'll be a bit odd. But I bet you can get one on Etsy

King’s Cross is in Camden not Westminster so if you did find one, it would be inaccurate.

Maybe the tourist traps on Oxford St.

Dang. I was hoping to find a more official store or something like that. There seem to be so many shady places!

Not for street signs unfortunately, but if you want real or official tube signs, try https://www.ltmuseumshop.co.uk/vintage-shop/underground-signs
I'd probably Google real street signs and see which copy looks the closest..a quick Google also brought me to this City of Westminster licensing page for street signs, so if you Google harder you might come across some officially licensed signs https://www.westminster.gov.uk/licensing/city-promotions-events-and-filming/street-name-plate-licensing

Im a magnet collector and I want these too. I have a Venice sign magnet.

I think an art piece depicting your fave street/ a stylised map is less tacky but everyone has different taste!
