These disused industrial premises were somewhere in the Garford St/Emmett St area on the Poplar/Limehouse border, which was about to be redeveloped for the Limehouse Link, DLR and Canary Wharf.
 
I think I was amused by the combination of 'GET' from the works sign and 'COPPERS' in the graffiti, though I suspect I also liked the various textures and the bold font, especially the large square full stop. Unfortunately I've no idea what the full text on the building was.
