Where and When - in London

Perhaps I should have concentrated on the address - so maybe ignore my earlier post?

I too read it as 78 Leonard St, EC2. And the word on the building does look rather like the end of Hotel.

In the 1911 census that address is occupied by a "carman"!

In the 1930's, 78 Leonard Street was the address of George Ewer & Co, Charabanc Proprietors.

The building looks a bit like HMRC on Whitehall but some of the detailing is different. How much of it was damaged/rebuilt as a result of/following WW2?

Edit - the coat of arms above the door says Edward VII but it could have been modified at a later date.

I wonder whether the building might be the Carlton Hotel (Pall Mall)?

They were hardy travelers in those days weren't, somewhat different to today's coaches.

I have photos of a similar charabanc outing dated 1928.

Trying to get a decent view of the facade of The Grosvenor Hotel which looks similar.

I think most of the Grosvenor's windows are arched, though?
