England - London - Nervous pensioner and trendy young people outside pub

Good-looking trendy young people spill out of a pub one sunny afternoon in fashionable Notting Hill in West London. Their confidence and sense of fun and living for the moment is seen in their clothes and style. But out-of-sight around the corner on this street stands a rather nervous-looking poor woman, an elderly lady perhaps in her sixties who is holding some shopping bags with her coat buttoned up, despite being warm outside. Her demeanour is that of tiredness and hardship - the opposite of the young generation. There is a wide generation gap here: The division of wealth, health and outlook between these two demographic groups which also symbolises a modern Britain, used to the class system that is alive and well.
