I used the tram No 6 going down Villa Road from the terminus at Soho Road in the 40s! Country Life was a magazine - I have pages copied from it by my granddad, showing Soho House way back
I thought it was the 5 tram? At the terminus I used to like to flip the seat backs as it changed direction.
 
The photo shows Tom Lambert, poulterer, at 67 Villa road (shown in red on 1912 map , not to be confused with Thomas Lambert , greengrocer, at 129 Villa Road. It seems not to be open, so perhaps taken on a Sunday, though it must have been shortly after the original opening of the shop, as it did not exist in 1895
