This is a piece of public art in Hoxton Street made by Bob and Roberta Smith (the pseudonym of artist Patrick Brill) in 2006 as part of the Shoreditch Festival whose theme was Shop Local. There were originally five similar works, but I think only two survive today. More info here.

I thought it was an authentic old sign until I read your caption. Even with the "actually everything."

I thought it was authentic as well until I did a bit of Googling. I need to read more about Bob and Roberta Smith -- sounds like an interesting character. I plan to watch this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmJaRGEFkqM
