  It’s called Kindersley, and I think it is rather fine.

  Designed by a pupil of Eric Gill, David Kindersley

  How it came to be adopted for use in street nameplates and how these pressed metal plates are made I’d love to know.

  I don’t believe there is a commercially available (genuine) cut of this font.

  It looks like it may also go by the name of ‘Octavian’ Have a look at fonts.com.
  I agree it does look rather nice.
