  • Carrying a bunch of beautiful flowers, a lady walks along a Chelsea street accompanied by a friend after having just left the Chelsea Flower Show, in London England on the last day of the show when members of the Royal Horticultural Society and the general public are invited to purchase those plants and shrubs that have been displayed all week. It is the perfect summer May afternoon in west London, when lovers of horticulture have gathered from across the country to admire the ultimate in plants and flowers in the grounds of Chelsea Hospital. With its pink blooms hanging from the main bulk of the shrub, the Fuchsia is resplendent in the late sunshine, a scene of quintessential English gardens and long summer days.

  • Young girls enjoy their latest purchase of foam hands as they exit the official London 2012 merchandise shop - hours before another successful gold medal win, this time by Team GB triathlete Alistair Brownlee in the men's Triathlon during the London 2012 Olympic Games. The mid-week event surprisingly drew huge crowds into the capital's largest public (royal) park for an event, not usually attracting families with children who all enjoyed the fine weather and easy temperatures. A London 2012 merchandise shop was set up on the southern side and parents and kids used the exterior hoarding featuring iconic London landmarks such as Nelson's Column, St Paul's Cathedral and Tower Bridge, to relax against after an early start from homes around the country

  • A lady is sandwiched between her just purchased flowers in the back of a white van, returning home from the annual Chelsea Flower Show.

  • Looking down from a high viewpoint, prospective auction bidders take notes from their catalogues of old red British Telecom (BT) pay phone boxes which are lined up on display in their hundreds before the actual sale starts. The 'lots' are squeezed together along pathways allowing customers to thoroughly inspect their potential purchases' details. This is a wide-angle picture taken on the slant with the distant boxes curling around to the left. One man in blue who has opened the stiff-opening door, cranes his neck to look up into the ceiling of these solid cast-iron frames. The K-series kiosks were largely designed in 1936 by the iconic designer Giles Gilbert Scott.

  • Destined for nearby offices, two workmen deliver a heavy piece of corporate art taped up and covered in a narrow side street in the City of London, the capital's financial district. Each manhandling a corner and sharing the weight of this awkward company asset. Taped up for protection and handled carefully, the men make their way along a narrow medieval street called Tokenhouse Yard. This street dates from Charles I and was where farthing tokens were coined. The City of London is the capital's historic centre first occupied by the Romans then expanded during following centuries until today, it has a resident population of under 10,000 but a daily working population of 311,000.

  • A shopper picks up purchases in yellow Selfridges bags in London's West End. The bags are one of the capital's most striking symbols of British retail and are seen across the city as splashes of vibrant colour on the otherwise drab pavements and streets.

  • Sitting drunk on a mid-town sidewalk (pavement), a construction worker wipes tears from his eyes. The man has driven from his mid-west home to offer help at the hazardous Ground Zero where for the past 4 days and nights he has been uncovering debris and human remains after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Exhausted and emotional, he was sent away for his own and the safety of others and alcohol was his first purchase. New Yorkers praised their heroes for assisting their city (and America) in their hour of need but here, passers-by stepped over him complaining of his drunken state. The now lonely man is distressed, tormented and psychologically fragile but gets no help. With his few possessions, his hard hat and flag, mask and cans of Budweiser we see a man at his lowest ebb.
