Found this shop on Derby Road - could be Geneva Motors?

Couldn't see how to save a picture from Google street view.
I used 'Print Screen' and copied into another program before exporting as jpg.  Not as good quality as it started out but at least I got something.

Yes, you can just see that the S has been googly-compressed in to P of Specialist.

Google cannot be trusted: being foreign, it has decided that  Bermondsey SE1 is actually Camberwell SE1.
Camberwell is actually two wards away! I have notified them many times, but once something wrong has been put on computer records it always stays!

Towards away? No wonder they are confused. They do not speak the queen's English.

Try two Burt Wards away, Gotham City SE1.
