Shh!

Shh, please close the doors quietly at St Katharine Cree in Leadenhall Street, London. How can you ignore such a graceful sign? Spread across two doors, it seems to have stood the test of time.

Modern effigy

Slightly creepy figure of a girl, acting as a signpost for the nearby school. The figure is a few years old now, leaning a bit and somewhat reminiscent of a medieval effigy. The staring eyes and dirty legs don't help - this one will haunt me in my sleep.

Tempting

Nice shiny night bell sign on Bush House, London. Tempting.

Old Virginia

I love the mills in Stockport - this sign is in Higher Hillgate. Virginia Mills is listed in the 1862 Official Catalogue of the Industrial Department (the directory of the International Exhibition) as a tobacco and cigar manufacturer.

Pull the other one

Handsome dentist sign in Bloomsbury Square, London.

Eye eye

Most signs can be improved by a pair of googly eyes, I think. 

Push

This sign on a beautiful drinking fountain in Lincoln's Inn Fields in London is urging you to push. The park was once the site of duelling, jousting and public execution. Now it's a pleasant place to wander round, play tennis, eat or, increasingly and sadly, sleep on a bench.
