This one will not 'overlay' as the venue has changed beyond recognition....
Then : outside the Tin Pan Alley club in Denmark Street, London
Now : the 'TPA' bar which strangely enough has the original 'then' photo on the wall inside!
The original window behind Mick and Keith is now one of the double doors and of course they have sadly done away with the vibrant paintwork. It is worth visiting if ever you are in London as they have newspaper articles regaling the Tin Pan Alley heydays on the walls. About 3 doors down (to the left of this picture as you look at it) is Regent Sounds, a guitar shop (not any old guitar shop, but Europe's largest Fender dealer) which used to be Regent Studios where a certain band's debut album was recorded....

Mathijs there's a book/sheet music store which also sells some guitars next door or a couple of doors down from Regent Sound. Perhaps you're getting them mixed up?
I was in Regent Sound recently, they have a 4 track machine which was supposedly used in the studio at some point on display with photos of the Stones recording there.
I didn't venture down to their basement so perhaps they sell sheet music etc down there!? It didn't seem like you were allowed access!?

The last time I was in Denmark Street was some 5 years ago, and I remember that back then that in the basement there was this bookshop, and not yet a guitar shop.
It's about five doors left of Vintage and Rare isn't? And was the Regent Sound studio in the basement or ground floor?

THEN : outside the pub 'The Australian' in Chelsea, London.
NOW : the pub has become 'Helen Green' an Interior Design shop.
