  • Looking down on office and business workers who are lying down and relaxing in the grass in their lunch break at Finsbury Circus, a circular green park space in the heart of London's financial district, the City of London. Surrounding them is an art instillation of steel sheep that are incongruously grazing among the assorted people, much like they once did when London was a home to livestock en-route to market. In the foreground a man in a dark suit has taken off his jacket and is lying down to complete his Financial Times (FT) crossword. Nearby, a lady and man are sitting eating a packed lunch. The City, is the historic financial core of London from which the modern conurbation grew and its one square mile (2.6 km) boundary has remained constant since the Middle Ages.

  • An executive peers down on his employees on a giant screen, addressing his loyal audience of his staff who have congregated at an Academy Day held for 3,000 of company London employees at Excel in London's Docklands, England. The hall is packed and his disciples listen and watch intently and obediently to watch their Leader speak like a Big Brother character, who ernestly and sincerely talks down to them despite being dressed casually for such a large event. Each employee will attend this brainstorming fair where later, motivational pep-talks from executives, outside speakers and gurus will talk to large groups of personnel so their presence on this day away from the office is vital for the year's business ahead.

  • A new model of Routemaster bus has broken down and disrupts traffic in a City of London street. The New Bus for London, sometimes referred to as NB4L, and colloquially as the New Routemaster or Borismaster (after the Mayor of London who drove their introduction) is a 21st-century replacement of the iconic AEC Routemaster as a bus built specifically for use in London.

Surrounding them is an art instillation of steel sheep that are incongruously grazing among the assorted people, much like they once did when London was a home to livestock en-route to market and other animals used for transport. It is a warm afternoon and in the foreground, a man wearing a dark suit has taken off his polished shoes and is lying his head on his jacket in the warm afternoon, loosening his tight tie and stretching his neck. Elsewhere, a lady is sitting eating a packed lunch with the Sun newspaper and a man a little further behind is in jeans and plimsoll shoes. The City of London has a resident population of under 10,000 but a daily working population of 311,000. The City of London is a geographically-small City within Greater London, England. The City as it is known, is the historic core of London from which, along with Westminster, the modern conurbation grew. The City's boundaries have remained constant since the Middle Ages but  it is now only a tiny part of Greater London. The City of London is a major financial centre, often referred to as just the City or as the Square Mile, as it is approximately one square mile (2.6 km) in area. London Bridge's history stretches back to the first crossing over Roman Londinium, close to this site and subsequent wooden and stone bridges have helped modern London become a financial success.

  • Beneath the sculpture by Turner Prize-winning artist Mark Wallinger entitled "The World Turned Upside Down', new graduates straight after their graduation ceremonies meet family and friends outside the London School of Economics (LSE), on 22nd July 2019, in London, England. 'The World Turned Upside Down' is a large political globe, four metres in diameter, with nation states and borders outlined but with the simple and revolutionary twist of being inverted. Most of the landmasses now lie in the ‘bottom’ hemisphere with the countries and cities re-labelled for this new orientation.

  • A businesswoman stands seductively over a Victorian-style shoe-shiner in a corner of Leadenhall Market in the City of London. Her black shoe is resting on a small brass plinth for the leather to be buffed up with the help of Kiwi polish and the efficient speed of a good brushing technique with the final stage being a dusting to bring the best reflective shine. Their relationship is that of paying-customer and servant and we look see a sexually-dominant situation where the wealthy-looking lady is standing over the man with her strong leg showing in a provocative manner. Wearing a red uniform and ID, the shoe-shiner is on bended-knees, his weight resting on a soft, red cushion, protection from the cold, hard pavement while looking down, concentrating on the job in hand.

  • A new model of Routemaster bus has broken down and disrupts traffic in a City of London street. The New Bus for London, sometimes referred to as NB4L, and colloquially as the New Routemaster or Borismaster (after the Mayor of London who drove their introduction) is a 21st-century replacement of the iconic AEC Routemaster as a bus built specifically for use in London. Designed by Heatherwick Studio, it is built by Wrightbus, and features the 'hop-on hop-off' rear open platform of the original Routemaster, but meets the requirements for modern buses to be fully accessible. The first bus entered service on 27 February 2012. The cost of each bus is £354,500.

  • On the day that Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre closes before its demolition and redevelopment, the shutters come down in Iceland as the mall locks its doors for the final time after 55 years, on 24th September 2020, in south London, England. The much-criticised architecture of the Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre was opened in 1965, built on the bomb damaged site of the former Elephant & Castle Estate, originally constructed in 1898. The centre was home to restaurants, clothing retailers, fast food businesses and clubs where south Londoners socialised and met lifelong partners.
