If this looks like a railway building, that's because it is. Built in 1901 as a coffee house for railway workers, the building is now a furniture shop. The Victorian Society website gives more information about this building and its history: http://www.victoriansociety.org.uk/news/historic-london-coffee-house-under-threat-from-crossrail/ In the background is Trellick Tower, a 31-storey block of flats designed by the architect Ernő Goldfinger and completed in 1972.
