  • Glass windows (not stained glass) in the Great Hall of 2 Temple Place, on 17th September 2017, in London, England. As an example of a late Victorian mansion, it was built for William Waldorf Astor primarily as his state office by one of the foremost neo-Gothic architects of the late nineteenth-century, John Loughborough Pearson. Astor had emigrated to England in 1891 as arguably, the richest man in the world and no expense was spared when work began on Two Temple Place in 1892. Today, the building is owned by the Bulldog Trust and supports the charitable activities of the Trust through exhibitions and events hosted in the building.

  • In the weeks before Christmas day in December, the Lord Mayor of London makes a speech in front of invited guests and VIPs, hosting his annual party in the Great Hall at his official town hall - the Guildhall - in the historic financial district of the City of London. Inviting Greater London's borough Mayors, they can each invite worthy children for an afternoon's fancy dress party. The Guildhall has been used as a town hall for several hundred years, and is still the ceremonial centre of the City of London. The term Guildhall refers both to the whole building and to its main room, which is a medieval style great hall similar to those at many Oxbridge colleges. The great hall is believed to be on the site of an earlier Guildhall, and has large mediaeval crypts underneath. During the Roman period it was the site of an amphitheatre, the largest in Britannia.

  • Two workmen stand near the Atlantes figure by the sculptor H.A. Pegram (1896) at the entrance of Drapers' Hall livery company in Throgmorton Street, a gatekeeper stoops to pick up dropped keys outside Drapers Hall in Throgmorton Street, in the City of London, the capital's financial district aka the Square Mile, on 30th July 2020, in London, England. The Drapers’ Company is a Livery Company in the City of London whose roots go back to the 13th century, when as its name indicates, it was involved in the drapery trade. While it is no longer involved in the trade, the Company has evolved acquiring a new relevance. Its main role today is to be the trustee of the charitable trusts that have been left in its care over the centuries. The Company also manages a thriving hospitality business. The first Drapers’ Hall was built in the 15th century in St Swithin’s Lane. It bought a Hall on the present site in Throgmorton Street in 1543 from King Henry VIII for £1,200 (about £350,000 in today’s money). The Hall that the Company purchased from King Henry VIII in 1543 had been the private residence of Thomas Cromwell, Earl of Essex until his execution in 1540, when it was confiscated by the Crown.

  • An elderly lady makes her way from her community village Memorial Hall which she has been volunteering this winter morning as part of a charity funds raising event. The lady might be old and frail but her spirit is such that she still finds the time to integrate into community life and remains active despite her years. Walking beneath the wrought-iron sign in Cleeve Prior, Worcestershire, she edges under tentatively to make her way home wearing a quilted coat and her wedding ring on her gnarled hands. A chilly late-morning sun shines across the architecture of the building and this is the look of a lady happy with her morning's activities with fellow parishioners.

  • Separated by four floors, two employees of the auditing company Ernst & Young, make their way along walkways in the main atrium of E & Y's European headquarter offices at More London, London England. Striding confidently between offices, the two people are unaware of each other's presence but make their way from right to left of this tall, upright scene of modernity. The senior person on top may have an advantage from better opportunities, the low-ranking worker below may be needing to rise up the ranks. Morning sunlight floods through the green tinted glass that overlooks Tower Bridge on the River Thames. The term atrium comes from Latin: a large and light central hall or reception of a house where guests were greeted. The depth and height of all levels from near the top to almost the bottom give a sense of vertigo, a dizzying perspective. .

  • As a cyclist pedals his way along a path, a man enjoys late afternoon sunshine in Brockwell Park, Herne Hill, London England. Seen from a central hill in this Victorian-designed open space, there are the terraced housing and larger tenement buildings behind that rise above the tree line in this undulating landscape. The person on the bicycle has been caught between two tree trunks as he approaches the man relaxing on the park bench and another pedestrian is seen further in the distance walking near a red car. It is scene of serenity among the urban sprawl of a capital city, where quiet places are precious and idyllic corners of greenery are highly-sought after. The Brockwell Hall Park Estate was created and landscaped in 1811. It was purchased for the people of Lambeth & Southwark and opened as a public park in 1892 by Lord Rosebery.

Kenneth Clarke MP, the then-Chancellor in John Major's Conservative government of 1994, these city and financial dignitaries have feasted well in the old Guildhall, the City of London's town hall - the Guildhall - in the historic financial district of the capital. Wearing formal banquet attire, these chiefs of industry appear to be an all-male audience though there were also women sat at tables during the Banker's Dinner held every in June when the Chancellor of the Exchequer delivers a speech known as the Mansion House Speech hosted by the Lord Mayor, which takes its name from his official residence nearby. They concentrate on the speech to hear the Chancellor's predictions for growth and prosperity.

  • Schoolchildren and mothers walk in the rain past the medieval Little Hall  in Lavenham, on 9th July 2020, in wool town Lavenham, Suffolk, England. Little Hall is a late 14th Century hall house on the main square, its story mirrors the history of Lavenham over the centuries. First built in the 1390s as a family house and workplace, it was enlarged, improved and modernised in the mid 1550s, and greatly extended later. By the 1700s it was giving homes to six families and was restored in the 1920s/30s. The wool trade was already present by the 13th century, steadily expanding as demand grew. By the 1470s Suffolk produced more cloth than any other county.

  • In the weeks before Christmas day on December 25th, the Lord Mayor of London hosts an annual party at his official town hall - the Guildhall - in the historic financial district of the City of London. Inviting Greater London's borough Mayors, they can each invite worthy children for an afternoon's fancy dress party. Two children dressed as Tarzan with a small monkey and a Grenadier Guard with a bearskin, and are seated on the Mayoral throne like two princes in a royal court. The chairs are coated with gold leaf with red cushioned fabric and with the Corporation of London's crest on the top. It looks resplendent and opulent. The two kids are sat looking small in the chairs seemingly made for giants but behind them is another boy dressed as a grey rabbit with floppy ears running past. The Guildhall has been used as a town hall for several hundred years, and is still the ceremonial centre of the City of London. The term Guildhall refers both to the whole building and to its main room, which is a medieval style great hall similar to those at many Oxbridge colleges. The Guildhall complex houses the offices of the Corporation of London and various public facilities. (Greater London also has a City Hall). The great hall is believed to be on the site of an earlier Guildhall, and has large mediaeval crypts underneath. During the Roman period it was the site of an amphitheatre, the largest in Britannia. The City of London is still part of London's city centre, but apart from financial services, most of London's metropolitan functions are centred on the West End. The City of London has a resident population of under 10,000 but a daily working population of 311,000.
