  • A young trader in currencies leans back in his chair on the currency trading floor of Barclays Bank in the City of London, England, UK. Easing back during the stress of a day when the money markets have been volatile, this young man has the responsibilities of millions of Pounds Sterling to trade and value. He has old technology at his disposal, in the decade when technology made a big impression on the workplace but before the arrival of the internet and e-mail. Communication was therefore slow and unreliable although banks like Barclays who traded money across the world were skilled in migrating information across time-zones.

  • As a young office worker sleeps incongruously on a marble pavement, a street sweeper nearby brushes away litter with a small dustpan. The manual labourer wears blue overalls, yellow gloves and keys in his back pocket while the man in a wastecoat and smart trousers and polished slip-on shoes appears to be fast asleep, his fingers across his chest. This scene suggests the social divisions of the working man: Of the young, educated post-war generation whose opportunities have afforded them a faster lifestyle, far removed from that of the physically-demanding job of a man whose life has been spent cleaning and sweeping. English social differences is clearly represented here as the harshness of the manual labourer versus a lazy youth of today, seen in the middle of the modern city.

  • In the shadow of 1 Canada Square, the iconic Canary Wharf tower in London's Docklands stands as an icon for Thatcherite Britain when the good times, prosperity and economic upturns seemed unshakeable. Four work colleagues stand under a hot lunchtime sun during a summer heatwave. In their shirtsleeves the men each hold pints of refreshing lager, all having removed their dark jackets to enjoy the company of a flirtatious female who appears to be flirting with an older male companion. The sky is blue and the five are care-free to any future economic uncertainty.

  • Two young men dressed in office suits casually stuff their lunches during a hot lunchtime break in the Broadgate Estate in the City of London. Both with legs across knees, the lads in their 20s sit on a bench beneath a tree alongside the statue of a traditional gardener, slightly bent and equipped with hoe and wearing a wastecoat, hobnailed boots and flat cap, an iconic salt-of-the-earth workman. This scene suggests the social divisions of the working man: Of the young, educated post-war generation whose opportunities have afforded them a faster lifestyle, far removed from that of the physically-exhausted man whose life has been spent working the honest land.  The English social divide is clearly represented here as the harshness of the manual labourer versus the youth of today, seen in the middle of the modern city.

  • As a sleeping homeless man lies curled up in his sleeping bag on a central London pavement, two window cleaners have carefully placed their ladders at his feet to clean a Boots the chemist sign. Each wearing identical blue working overalls and each wiping the frontage with their left hands, the men are symbolic of the working man versus that of a homeless person without a job, prospects or perhaps a future. The wide gap between hopelessness and the pride of one's achievement is shown here on the sidewalk of modern-day Britain. London is home to some 50,000 homeless people whose place of rest can often be recesses and shop doorways where they seek sanctuary from the cold and street violence. On the opposite end of the wealth and social divides are those who seek work with a positive outlook on life.

  • Wearing braces, striped shirt and sitting on a block, a young lawyer studies a legal book during a mid-morning break in the Inner Temple in the historic City of London. The Honourable Society of the Inner Temple is one of the four Inns of Court around the Royal Courts of Justice which may call members to the Bar and so entitle them to practise as barristers. The Temple was occupied in the twelfth century by the Knights Templar, who gave the area its name but was heavily bombed during the Blitz of 1940-1 and the reclining marble memorial to predecessor, John Hiccocks who held the office of Master in Chancery between 1702 and 1723 (d 1726) behind the young law student is marked by the partially-demolished Goldsmiths Chambers on the north side of Temple Church where Hiccocks is buried. An assortment of potted red plants add to an otherwise dark courtyard

  • A trader from the LIFFE futures exchange meets an associate in the street during a weekday lunchtime on a bench in the City of London. Talking over paperwork with an opened attache briefacse and wearing the colourful jacket of this once thriving financial institution, we see a scene of wealth and prosperity, from an era of growth during the industrial revolution to the arrogance and self-indulgence during the government of John Major - a political inheritance from Margaret Thatcher. The LIFFE exchange was synonymous with Thatcherite capitalist money-making ethos in the City of London of the 80s and early 90s before the takeover by Euronext in January 2002. It is currently known as Euronext.liffe. Euronext subsequently merged with New York Stock Exchange in April 2007.

  • Two brokers working at the London International Financial Futures Exchange (LIFFE) have finished trading for the day and are resting chatting to colleages beneath a large old-fashioned dot matrix sign telling us the market's value at the close of business. They both wear orange jackets denoting their respective employers. They sit on the trading floor, otherwise known as the Pit where Derivatives, Options, Futures and their contracts are exchanged in a frenzy of arm and hand expressions which communicate prices and quantities. The LIFFE exchange was synonymous with Thatcherite capitalist money-making ethos in the City of London of the 80s and early 90s before the takeover by Euronext in January 2002. It is currently known as Euronext.liffe. Euronext subsequently merged with New York Stock Exchange in April 2007.
