The London telephone exchanges all had names prior to the numerical system introduced in 1968, and Southwark was known simply as HOP due to the number of hop merchants in the area. A man is looking in the shop window. Number 76 with a shop sign for WOOD, HANBURY, BEVAN and JACKSON who were hop merchants.
