  • A trader from the LIFFE futures exchange takes a break in the street during a weekday lunchtime. Alongside him on another bench is a homeless man in the City of London in a scene of wealth with prosperity versus the fate of poverty and loss. Wearing the orange jacket of this once thriving financial instutution, 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.

  • An office employee takes a cigarette break outside corporate offices in the City of London. Looking guilty and aware, she inhales on her tobacco while holding the packet in her left hand.

  • Two businessmen - one younger than the other, who may be his superior - pace through the Broadgate Estate during a break in the working day in the City of London, the capital's financial centre - otherwise called the Square Mile. Seen as they walk fast under a covered alleyway, the warm sun strikes their faces while they are deep in conversation - perhaps discussing a strategy while fetching a local coffee. Deep shadow allows us to focus in on their dark suits, their pink skin and the similarly orange colour of the strong vertical columns that form this urban architecture completed in the Bishopsgate development of the mid-1980s. Broadgate is a large, 32 acres (129,499 m2) office and retail estate in the City of London, owned by British Land and managed by Broadgate Estates.

  • Female workers in protective eqipment take a break from crop spraying in a palm oil plantation in Ukui, Riau Province, Indonesia, on 16 June 2015. This area has become dominated by palm oil production, and some smallholder farmers have formed co-operatives to share costs, increase access to markets, and become certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil. The workers are part of Amanah, a local cooperative that has helped over 400 farmers become RSPO certified - reducing their use of pesticides and fertilizers, increasing yields, and improving farm management. Smallholders account for 40% of global palm oil production, and as such play an important role in increasing sustainability within the industry.

  • We are looking down from above to office and business workers who are lying down and relaxing in the grass in their lunch break at Finsbury Circus, a circular green park space in the heart of London's financial district, the City of London. Surrounding them is an art instillation of steel sheep that are incongruously grazing among the assorted people, much like they once did when London was a home to livestock en-route to market and other animals used for transport. It is a warm afternoon and in the foreground, a man wearing a dark suit has taken off his polished shoes and is lying his head on his jacket in the warm afternoon, loosening his tight tie and stretching his neck. Elsewhere, a lady is sitting eating a packed lunch with the Sun newspaper and a man a little further behind is in jeans and plimsoll shoes. 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.

  • Looking down on office and business workers who are lying down and relaxing in the grass in their lunch break at Finsbury Circus, a circular green park space in the heart of London's financial district, the City of London. Surrounding them is an art instillation of steel sheep that are incongruously grazing among the assorted people, much like they once did when London was a home to livestock en-route to market. In the foreground a man in a dark suit has taken off his jacket and is lying down to complete his Financial Times (FT) crossword. Nearby, a lady and man are sitting eating a packed lunch. The City, is the historic financial core of London from which the modern conurbation grew and its one square mile (2.6 km) boundary has remained constant since the Middle Ages.

  • It is the mid-afternoon break and striding confidently through a monochrome scene, a female employee of international auditing company Ernst & Young makes her way towards security barriers carrying her purse to exit E & Y's Norman Foster-designed 385,000 square foot European headquarters at More London, London England. A distracted male colleague approaches in the opposite direction, already having swiped his proximity card (using electronic key card technology to allow access through proof of authenticity) into the magnetic scanner while talking into his mobile phone. Both are dressed cassually, reflecting E & Y's policy of informal clothes for anything other than senior executives. Ernst & Young employs 114,000 people, in 700 locations across 140 countries around the world.

  • A trader from the LIFFE futures exchange takes a break in the street during a weekday lunchtime, beneath the statue of George Peabody in the City of London. Wearing the orange jacket of this once thriving financial instutution, 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. Peabody was a philathropist, banker and entrepreneur ( 1795 – 1869).

  • A man dressed in a dark suit and tie, shoes and socks lies down on his matching jacket for a short rest - perhaps during a lunchtime break from an office job - and stretches out on the incline of Blackpool seafront. In the background is Blackpool Tower, an architectural copy of Paris' Eiffel Tower opened to the public on 14 May 1894 and rises to 158m (518 ft 9 inches). As a sort of English eccentric character, the man looks incongruous as he sleeps in sunshine amid other holidaymakers. This northern seaside resort in the north-west of England is diverse in its transient holiday population whose behaviour can be routinely odd. Blackpool is the largest resort in the north of England and visited traditionally by working people from industrial towns and cities during the industrial revolution.
