  • Wearing a long beard of a strict Musilm, Anjem Choudary is a deputy and main UK spokesman of the Islamist group al-Muhajiroun whose leader, Omar Bakri Mohammad is a radical who caused controversy after the London attacks of July 2007, declaring that the only people he blames for the bombings are the government and British public. Choudary, a lawyer by profession, stands outside in the street in Leyton, north-east London England. There are few people in the background but Choudary commands much respect among activists in the UK. He organised and was fined in court for the Danish Embassy rally in February 2006 at which participants called for the massacre of those who insult Islam though Choudary refutes knowledge of who wrote such threats.

  • East end Londoners dance in a wave of nostalgia as they gather in their local east end pub in east London, England. Union Jack flags are everywhere - and even on a singer's acoustic guitar - as they remember the 50th anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe) Day on 6th May 1995. In the week near the anniversary date of May 8, 1945, when the World War II Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Germany and peace was announced to tumultuous crowds across European cities, the British still go out of their way to honour those sacrificed and the realisation that peace was once again achieved. Street parties now - as they did in 1945 - played a large part in the country's patriotic well-being.

  • On a busy Friday night in the Accident and Emergency section of the royal London Hospital, Whitechapel, East London, a city businessman, still in his pin-stripe suit, with his mobile phone and wearing slippers, sits rigid, grimacing in pain on with severe back pain a trolley (gurney) while two medical staff using a clipboard assess his treatment. The Royal London is one of London's oldest hospitals, having been founded in 1740 and is a major teaching hospital in Whitechapel, East London. It is part of the Barts and the London NHS Trust, alongside St Bartholomew's Hospital ("Barts"), which is a couple of miles away.

  • A Muslim community Imam prays at the bedside of a patient who is staying on the Phyllis Friend surgical ward, Royal London Hospital, Whitechapel, London. They both hold out their hands in prayer and the patient puts them to his face. It is daylight behind the bed but the two men are lit by artificial light from a bulb. The Royal London is one of London's oldest, having been founded in 1740 and is a major teaching hospital in Whitechapel, East London. It is part of the Barts and the London NHS Trust, alongside St Bartholomew's Hospital ("Barts"), which is a couple of miles away. Because of the cultural profile of East London, patients tend to be from many faiths, speaking many languages.

  • A wide panorama aerial landscape of London Docklands in 1991 looking east from a new apartment tower block on the Isle of Dogs. Rising tall is the new Canary Wharf tower (known as 1, Canada Square) soon after its completion - and before the subsequently extensive development phases. This docklands development in east London is the product of the 1980s financial boom when during the office of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, huge building projects such as the Docklands consortium saw vast changes in London's landscape. By 2012 Canary Wharf contained 14,000,000 square feet (1,300,000 m2) of office and retail space. Around 90,000 people work here and it is home to the world or European headquarters of numerous major banks, professional services firms and media organisations.

  • The artist Rachel Whiteread CBE (born 1963) sits on the steps of her best-known sculpture called 'House'. 'House' stands alone on a now-empty and house-less East London street. Oddly, the contours of the structure have been inverted to reveal an inside-out version of the original building. It is a concrete cast of the inside of an entire Victorian terraced house completed in autumn 1993 and exhibited at the location of the original property -- 193 Grove Road -- in East London (all the houses in the street had earlier been knocked down by the council). It won Whiteread the Turner Prize (the first woman to do so) for best young British artist in 1993. Here we see 'House' at a close distance with graffiti painted on the walls stating the words "Wot for ..why not!" before it was controversially demolished by the council in January 1994.

  • At the Royal London Hospital, accident and emergency (A & E) medical staff wearing radiation-proof x-ray lead tunics very carefully move a patient to a more comfortable position after a road traffic accident in London. The patient is held firm in a splint after several fractures and his life hangs in the balance but he is the care of this team of five health professionals who give him the very best care. The Royal London Hospital is one of London's oldest, having been founded in 1740 and is a major teaching hospital in Whitechapel, East London. It is part of the Barts and the London NHS Trust, alongside St Bartholomew's Hospital ("Barts"), which is a couple of miles away.

  • As evening light fades, bright light from the electricity-hungry Canary Wharf docklands development is supplied by the voltage from electricity cables and supporting struts at an east London sub-station, England. A network of 110 miles of cables have stretched across 542 'L6' pylons across England's Kent countryside, from the coal-fired power station at Dungeness to this location, carrying 40,000 Volts along this network of aluminium cables to power some of London's high supply demands. Insatiable appetites for energy means electricity is now an expensive commodity after climbing oil prices doubled electricity utility bills for some domestic users.

  • Street landscape near the Westfield City shopping complex, Stratford. On a new stretch of highway recently finished for those circumnavigating the perimeter of the Olympic park and its nearby shopping centre. The outer barrier of the Olympic Park is 2.5 sq km and circles a huge area of the borough of Stratford in the borough of Newham. The new landscape often looks incongruous to those living on many poor estates, excluded from the events. But this regeneration is the legacy by the government who promise a brighter future for this part of east London..

  • With a large hand from her worried mother gently caressing her head, a tiny premature new-born born baby sleeps on its side with an oxygen tube in its nose, while gathering strength in her incubator at the Royal London Hospital, Whitechapel, London, England. In her warm cot, a toy bear looks on in the corner and a poem writen on a card from the baby's parents has been attached to the plastic wall. It is a tender moment of hope, that this precious young human life can continue to grow into adulthood and be loved by all. The Royal London Hospital is one of London's oldest, having been founded in 1740 and is a major teaching hospital in Whitechapel, East London..

  • Theodore Kyriakou is seen in his Real Greek restaurant in Hoxton, East London. He smiles to the view dressed in chef's apron and with a pen behind his ear. This Greek-born chef once served in the military but realised his ambition to cook by coming to London and eventually being the co-owner of Livebait, the renowned London fish restaurant chain. In 1999, he finally opened a restaurant specialising in the kind of food his mother used to make. The Real Greek was in business, recreating many of the dishes he remembered, he introduced authentic Greek cuisine to a new audience. Kyriakou's parents ran a deli in Athens. His mother, a natural cook, didn't follow recipes, though many of her dishes are influenced by a 2,000-year-old cookbook, the Deipnosophistai by Athenaeus. She still gets calls from her son to check facts.

  • Volunteers rest between canoe slalom heats at the Lee Valley White Water Centre, north east London, on day 3 of the London 2012 Olympic Games. London 2012 volunteers are called 'Games Makers', as they are helping to make the Games happen. Up to 70,000 Games Makers take on a wide variety of roles across the venues: from welcoming visitors; to transporting athletes; to helping out behind the scenes in the Technology team to make sure the results get displayed as quickly and accurately as possible. Games Makers come from a diverse range of communities and backgrounds, from across the UK and abroad. The vast majority are giving up at least 10 days to volunteer during the Games.

  • Against orange evening light, a forest of high-rise cranes stand upright at the masive Canary Wharf development on London's Docklands, England. It is early evening and the crane drivers have left for the day, the day's shift have stopped work before resuming tomorrow. The silhouetted lines of each structure stand out clearly against the skyline before the regeneration of this region of East London grows upward. Canary Wharf is the product of the 1980s financial boom when during the office of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, huge building projects such as the Docklands consortium saw vast changes in London's landscape.

  • We are looking up from the ground to crowds gathered in three levels of a multi-story car park to await athletes pass during the London Marathon. The runners will make their way through the streets of East London beneath these spectators who have been patiently waiting for their friends and families to pass below. It is a great viewpoint from which to view such a sporting spectacle and we are peering up at the supporters leaning against the discoloured (discolored) concrete architecture dating back to the 1970s. It is the best elevated place to witness the race. There are three rows of 5 columns totalling 15 seperate windows and each one is full of families young and old. They resemble the compartments of a garden pet hutch where rabbits are kept in cramped conditions.

  • A man stands on his own on a grassy bank to cut a lonely figure in long grass on an embankment near the tall Canary Wharf tower structure a mile away in the background at Dockland's area of East London. Above the grassy bank at Mudchute, a city farm on London's Isle of Dogs, England, the sky is threatening with gathering clouds but lights still picks out the man against the darkening skyline. He stands with arms folded looking thoughtfully at the ground as if depressed or considering his isolation in the world. It is a seemingly rural location but is, in fact, an area of inner-city London, close to major construction projects, transforming Docklands into a major centre for finance and new housing.

  • Ageing 80s technology of the Thames Barrier on the River Thames near Woolwich in east London. As daylight fades to become a purple hue, we see the waters of the Thames flowing on the tide. Operational in 1982, the Thames Barrier is one of the largest movable flood barriers in the world, managed by the UK's Environment Agency. The barrier spans 520 metres across the River Thames near Woolwich, and it protects 125 square kilometres of central London from flooding caused by tidal surges.  The barrier has closed over 80 times since the year 2000 with ‘at least 800,000 homes and businesses have protected from tidal surges.

  • The still new Canary Wharf tower stands tall in the distance with a foreground of a city in turmoil. A still derelict space occupies the space where large offices will be built in the future. Fences stop trespassers from entering a water-filled hole on wasteland. This docklands development in east London is the product of the 1980s financial boom when during the office of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, huge building projects such as the Docklands consortium saw vast changes in London's landscape. The centrepiece was 1, Canada Square, also known as the Canary Wharf tower.

  • Rubbish and litter blocks the waterways of a canal in east London. Algae and household pollution lies on the surface of the waters dug by navvies of the Victorian era when canals around Britain helped supply the industrial revolution with the raw ingredients to power the furnaces, mills and wharves of the transport age. This is a section of the River Neckinger that once flowed from south London into the Thames at Bermindsey but during the redevelopment of the warves into expensive riverside apartments, the waters were once again freed from 20th century dereliction.
