Thanks to Graham for interpreting the mosaic tilework over the arches of the future Regent Street retail store: it apparently depicts lion symbols of both Britain and Venice (Italy). From the photos, you can see the Lion of St. Mark over the right arches, which is a symbol of Venice, but can only barely see the British version of a lion on an adjacent arch to the left.
