  • A lunchtime jogger accidentally collides with a young male pedestrian in a narrow City of London street. In a narrow part of a street called Wallbrook (the route of the ancient River Wallbrook that still flows underground here) office workers and those exercising enter a pinch-point where construction works narrow the pavement width. Running through here is inevitably going to force people to have their personal space compromised. The collision is brief and good natured as sorrys and excuse mes are uttered.

  • 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.

  • A gondola ride in a narrow canal in Venice, Italy. The first mention ever of an Italian gondola was in Venice in 1094 and, of course, there have been gondoliers as long as there have been gondolas - so it’s one of the oldest professions in the world. Until August 2010, there had never been a single woman gondolier in Venice as licences were always passed down to male family members. Current prices (2015) is 80 Euros for a 40-minute journey (earning them approx 130,000 Euros a year) along the waterways of this old city but rarely do gondoliers wear their straw hat.

Walkers Court is a pedestrian street in the Soho district of the City of Westminster. The street dates from around the early 1700s and escaped modernisation in the late nineteenth century so that it retains its original narrow layout. In the twentieth century the small shops that traded from the street gradually closed and from the late 1950s the street became associated with Sohos sex trade.

  • Aerial view of a gondolier and tourists in a narrow canal in Venice, Italy. The first mention ever of an Italian gondola was in Venice in 1094 and, of course, there have been gondoliers as long as there have been gondolas - so it’s one of the oldest professions in the world. Until August 2010, there had never been a single woman gondolier in Venice as licences were always passed down to male family members. Current prices (2015) is 80 Euros for a 40-minute journey (earning them approx 130,000 Euros a year) along the waterways of this old city but rarely do gondoliers wear their straw hat.
