Michelin Building South Kensington
I first saw this building in the mid '70s I was taken aback at how ostentatious it was. It dates from 1911 and you can find out more here ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelin_House

Motoring scene on the Michelin Building
The former Michelin Building on the Fulham Road now has a collection of shops and restaurants inside - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2728358 Ian Nairn has to say of it in Nairn's London (1966): "One of the least likely buildings of an unlikely city. There are glazed tiles all over, and motor tyres on the parapet - though no chubby rubber men - and the Michelin monogram and 'Bibendum' in thumping great letters, and all round the walls at eye level are early motoring scenes with such an air to them that the Fulham Road dissolves and you are back in the 1900s, with clouds of dust and the enraged sputtering of the motor in a deep, quiet countryside. They are a bit like Toulouse Lautrec posters done in tile." This is one of the scenes. Others can be seen at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2728362 and http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2728364 and http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2728367
