  • Detail in the British Museum of an Assyrian relief. Assyrian kings competed to outdo each other with carved reliefs on interior walls. This tradition began with King Ashurnasirpal II (reigned 883-859BC) at Nimrud. In 612BC Assyrian cities were looted and destroyed by Babylonians and Medes and the sculptures were buried until discovered by British and French archaeologists in the 19th century. As a result, London and Paris have the largest collection of Assyrian reliefs outside Iraq.

  • High above the streets of London's Holborn, we see the sign for the Olde Cock Tavern, one of the city's old inns from the 16th century. Ye Olde Cock Tavern is a public house on London's Fleet Street. Originally built before the 17th century, it was rebuilt, including the interior (which is thought to include work by carver Grinling Gibbons) on the other side of the road in the 1880s when a branch of the Bank of England was built where it stood. However, in the 1990s a fire broke out and destroyed many of the original ornaments, and the building has since gone through a restoration using photographs. It has been frequented by Samuel Pepys, Alfred Tennyson and Charles Dickens

  • Yellow and orange marigolds in full bloom outside the Royal Exchange at Bank Triangle in the City of London - the capital's financial district, on 3rd September 2018, in London England. At the top of Doric and Ionic columns with their ornate stonework, powerfully strong lintels cross, bearing the load of fine artistry and carvings which feature the design by Sir William Tite in 1842-1844 and opened in 1844 by Queen Victoria whose name is written in Latin (Victoriae R). It’s the third building of the kind erected on the same site. The first Exchange erected in 1564-70 by sir Thomas Gresham but was destroyed in the great fire of 1666. It’s successor, by Jarman, was also burned down in 1838. The present building is grade 1 listed and cost about £150,000.

  • Members of the Deptford Jack in the Green dance from pub to pub to Greenwich, London to mark the start of spring. In the 16th and 17th centuries in England, people would make garlands of flowers and leaves for the May Day celebration. After becoming a source of competition between works Guilds. Participants wear traditional green faces and forest foliage, at tradition from the 17th Century custom of milkmaids going out on May Day with the utensils of their trade decorated with garlands and piled into a pyramid which they carried on their heads. Amongst modern "folkies" and neo-pagans the Jack in the Green has become identified with the mysterious Green Man depicted in mediaeval church carvings and is widely felt to be an embodiment of natural fertility, a spirit of the primeval greenwood and a trickster.
