The 60s-inspired graphics seemed hopelessly outdated in March 1990, which is why I took this photo.
It's possible that, by then, Tooting was blessed with one of the few remaining branches of Chelsea Girl that hadn't been rebranded as a branch of River Island. I'm unsure if this one ever did.
Today, it's a Phones4U shop and the billboard is gone, so I expect the residents of the flats above have a little more light.
Other, literal, signs of the times are fly posters announcing Mandela free - is Apartheid ending?, the Tooting Anti Poll Tax Union and a billboard featuring a tobacco advert.

Closed shop awaiting demolition, Vauxhall, Lambeth 1979
18u-32: shop, demolition, Millett's, newsagent,
Millett's Newsagent & Tobacconist was at 111 Tyers St Vauxhall close to the Lambeth City Farm.
Kenneth Cecil Millett had owned a number of businesses, including "Wash
Me Clean" Launderette at 1, Jonothan Street, SEll, a newsagents at 11-13 Stratton Ground, SW1, and newagents and tobacconists like this also at 20 Vauxhall Street, SE11, 50 Trinity Road, SW17, 7 Wilcase Road, SW8, 342 Kennington Lane, SEll and 44-46 Wood Street, Kingston-upon-Thames (also an offlicence) but in 1976 filed for receivership.
The shop on the corner of St Ostwald's Place, has now been replaced by a modern 4-storey block of unusual design.
As seen on the Corolla GTi. However, due to the seeming tailgate replacement I don't think it's where it was sold new. 'AL' was apparently a Nottinghamshire registration.
No sign of the Tooting garage premises now, it looks like the site had been cleared by 2008 and fapartments have now been built there: goo.gl/maps/pbcF1WF95NQ2
Would love to see photos of it when it was a garage, but I can't immediately find anything online.
