  • A seller of flowers stands looking down a street in the Polish capital, Warsaw. Holding a single bouquet, the elderly man has located himself on the corner of Zapiecek Street (Zapiecek means place behind the stove) awaiting a buyer. With his hand on one hip, he has laid more yellow and red flowers that he has probably grown himself and is trying to make a meagre living from. But there are few people on this street this early in the oldest part of Warsaw and the walls appear to be damp, with discoloured plaster after decades of decay under a Communist government. Old paving slabs on the pavement and a cobbled road give a sense of history and wartime destruction for these streets saw many atrocities during the German occupation in WW2. This is a scene of pessimism and poverty yet with a small degree of hope in the fresh flowers.

  • Elderly Londoners sing wartime songs during 1995 VE Day 50th anniversary street party in London's East End. The women open their mouths and belt out the tunes that they learned during wartime, helping them keep up morale during dark times during WW2. 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.

  • An old City of London street sign for Poultry EC2 beneath a rusting police bylaws sign on a late 1980s brick wall. Before the older signage was replaced in the mid-1990s for more modern architecture, these signs will have disappeared or available through vintage auctions. Poultry is a short street in the City of London. It is an eastern continuation of Cheapside, between Old Jewry and Mansion House Street, near Bank junction. It takes its name, like other medieval roads nearby such as Milk Street and Bread Street, from the various produce once sold at Cheapside, meaning "market-place" in Old English. The street gave its name to a prison, Poultry Compter, once located there.

  • An adult business window displays the naughty underwear worn by five mannequin models of a Soho sex shop on Old Compton Street in London's West End. Tilted slightly to the left, we see the 5 models posing in various positions of suggestive stances, all demonstrating the shop's array of erotic clothing for the Good Time Girl! On the far right is the artwork of a topless woman, wearing only knee-length stockings. See from behind, the line-drawing of the female suggests a dancer on a Parisian stage act such as the Folies Bergere or Paradis Latin - variety performances for the male admirer. She looks over her left shoulder as if to wink in our direction, all part of the illusion of coquettish desire and greedy eroticism. Old Compton Street is known for cafes, bars and especially the gay, trans-gender scene and for sellers of erotic toy 'accessories'!

Soho is known as a rather seedy but vibrant area of London's West End and late-night social disorder fuelled by excessive alcohol is pretty much normal.

  • On the site of a former churchyard, an ancient protected London Plane tree rises over 70 feet high on the corner of Wood Street and Cheapside in the City of London. Mentioned and fated in the annals of London history for almost 600 years, the tree is a city emblem, written about and quoted in text and verse including William Wordsworth in 1797: "At the corner of Wood Street, when daylight appears / Hangs a Thrush that sings loud, it has sung for three years / Poor Susan has pass'd by the spot, and has heard / In the silence of morning the song of the bird .. A mountain ascending, a vision of trees / Bright volumes of vapour through Lothbury glide / And a river flows on through the vale of Cheapside."

  • An elderly lady watches the world go by from her street doorway in Lisbon's Bica district of the Portuguese capital. Looking out from her cosy small home that open out on to the narrow street, the old woman looks thoughtful, reflecting on her life perhaps spent in the same quarter of the Portguese capital. Lisbon's Bica district is a steep gradient area of narrow streets more peaceful and atmospheric than other busier locations where cars and trams make wider roads noisier. Flights of steps dissect the quarter which remains largely unspoilt.

  • A male passenger is asleep with his mouth open, leaning his head on a bus window as it passes the background pillars of the Bank of England in the financial district City of London. On the exterior of the bus are the words: "We've got to get this city to work," an advertising slogan used by London Transport to seduce commuters from their cars and back on to public transport which is one of the most expensive world capitals on which to travel by bus, train or underground. This style of bus is a traditional design called a 'Routemaster' which has been in service on the capital's roads since 1954 and is nowadays only seen on heritage routes such as these destination: Victoria, Bond Street, Oxford Street, Holborn and Bank (the Bank of England). From any angle, the bus is easily recognisable as that classic British transport icon.  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.

  • A street portrait of a member of the Camisa family  showing us a selection of parmasan cheese and home-made pasta in Old Compton Street, Soho, London. This long-established rustic Italian deli was opened by the Fratelli Camisi back in 1929, and this old Soho stalwart is well worth a visit if only for its fresh pasta and accompanying sauces - their pesto is particularly good - but that would be to miss out on the fabulous range of cheeses (pecorino, gorgonzola - both sweet and piccante - parmesan, mozzarella, ricotta), charcuterie (salamis, mortadella, parma ham), freshly marinated olives, vegetables (artichokes, peppers, aubergines, sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms) under oil, risotto rices, balsamic vinegars, cakes and biscuits, as well as a range of their own-label products.

  • Taken six months after the fall of the Berlin Wall, a German lady from the old German Democratic Republic (DDR or GDR) looks back over her shoulder nostalgically at an abandoned Trabant car on a sunlit street in eastern Berlin, once in the eastern zone before the Communist-inspired Berlin Wall was breached in November 1989. Blocks of modern East German-designed flats line the street and a tram line can be seen in the middle of the highway. The DDR-produced Trabant suffered poor performance, but its smoky two-stroke engine regarded with affection as a symbol of the more positive sides of East Germany. Many East Germans streamed into West Berlin and West Germany in their Trabants after the opening of the Berlin Wall. It was in production without any significant change for nearly 30 years. The name Trabant means "fellow traveler" in German.

  • Fish and buyers in the narrow streets of the Bairro Alto district - or Upper City - the oldest of Lisbon's residential quarters. Locals inspect the catches of the day, caught in the seas off the Portuese capital and coasts. In the background are crowds of visitors in the narrow, high-sided street. Lisbon's Bairro Alto quarter is located above Baixa and developed in the 16th Century. Suffering very little damage in the earthquake of 1755, it remains the area of most character and renowned for its residential and working quarter for craftsmen and shopkeepers. At night, life takes on a different personality when bars and up until the 60s, prostitution gave the district a bad reputation in the past but nowadays tourists and the chic frequent its streets and traditional 'Fado' (classical Portuguese opera) bars.

  • With his body in shade and only his head in the sun, a Portuguese man stands in the street of central Lisbon to read the headlines of national and provincial newspapers which are pinned by their top right corners for passers-by to glance at or buy. Lit by early morning sun, the daily or weekly periodicals are set in a neat row for the benefit of this man and other citizens of the Portuguese capital. Ornate square tile mosaics are set in the pavement (sidewalk) in a design style that Lisbon is well-known for. In an age of mass-communications, reading one's media on paper in such a manner already seems old fashioned.

  • Fruit and buyers in the narrow streets of the Bairro Alto district - or Upper City - the oldest of Lisbon's residential quarters. A local woman across the narrow, high-sided street, yawns while an orange and apple seller looks for her next customer on the cobbled lane. <br />
Lisbon's Bairro Alto quarter is located above Baixa and developed in the 16th Century. Suffering very little damage in the earthquake of 1755, it remains the area of most character and renowned for its residential and working quarter for craftsmen and shopkeepers. At night, life takes on a different personality when bars and up until the 60s, prostitution gave the district a bad reputation in the past but nowadays tourists and the chic frequent its streets and traditional 'Fado' (classical Portuguese opera) bars.

  • An elderly Spanish lady walks towards a strong setting sun that shines through an old medieval street in the beautiful town of Valldemossa in north-west Majorca, one of the Balearic Island. She leans forward, striding with a quick pace while holding a traditional fan called an abanico. Valldemossa is at 400 kilometres above sea level, the highest community on the island and in the middle of the valley of Sierra de Tramuntana. Part of the village goes up into the mountain slope and sits on the slopes of the Tramuntana mountains. The town gained some sort of fame when Polish composer Frederic Chopin came and stayed at the Carthusian monastery (Cartoixa Reial) with his lover George Sand in the winter of 1838-39.

  • 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.
