  • Four estate agent's property boards advertise their names and numbers in a London housing estate, each representing vendors selling their houses and flats for a set commission in the housing market. Above the signs is the pink blossom from a cherry tree whose branches hang over the temporary information boards. The term originally referred to a person responsible for managing a landed estate, while those engaged in the buying and selling of homes were "House Agents", and those selling land were "Land Agents". However, in the 20th century, "Estate Agent" started to be used as a generic term, perhaps because it was thought to sound more impressive. Estate agent is roughly synonymous in the United States with the term real estate broker.

Seated beneath this huge piece of scaled equine head are young people, leaning and sitting on the horse's plinth. This is a popular stopping off place for those enjoying late summer temperatures. The head stands on the end of its nose, a balancing act effective as a standalone piece of art that represents the carrying of wounded masters to safety that had an extraordinary resonance for the artist. Commissioned to create the piece by JCB founder Sir Anthony and Lady Bamford in January 2006 – just after Fiddian-Green had been diagnosed as suffering from a rare form of leukaemia. The Marwari breed was famous in India for centuries as the mount of the Rajput cavalry.

  • German contemporary artist Katharina Fritsch's sculpture 'Hahn/Cock'. A blue cockerel, on The Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, London. The Fourth Plinth was originally intended to hold a statue of William IV, but remained bare due to insufficient funds. For over 150 years the fate of the plinth was debated; in 1999, a sequence of three contemporary artworks to be displayed on the plinth were announced. The success of this initiative led to a commission being formed to decide on a use for the plinth.

  • Red-tinted landscape against green grass caused by the Serpentine Gallery's Pavilion. Divided in half red and half green, late afternoon sunshine is backlit to reveal the shape and form of this building in one of London's most imminent of green spaces. The Serpentine's 40th Anniversary—the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion is designed by world-renowned French architect Jean Nouvel. The entire design is rendered in a vivid red that, in a play of opposites, contrasts with the green of its park setting. In London, the colour reflects the iconic British images of traditional telephone boxes, post boxes and London buses. The building consists of bold geometric forms, large retractable awnings and a sloped freestanding wall that stands 12m above the lawn. Striking glass, polycarbonate and fabric structures create a versatile system of interior and exterior spaces.

With pendants blowing in the breeze, its pristine paintwork shining in sunlight, the boat awaits its royal passengers for another official tour or voyage abroad. In the background is Lord Nelson's flagship museum, HMS Victory. Her Majesty's Yacht Britannia was the former Royal Yacht of the British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. She was the 83rd such vessel since the restoration of King Charles II in 1660. She is the second Royal yacht to bear the name, the first being the famous racing cutter built for The Prince of Wales in 1893. Following Labour's victory on 1 May 1997 it was announced that the vessel would be retired and no replacement would be built. She is now permanently moored as an exhibition ship at Ocean Terminal, Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland.

  • An artist is incongruously enclosed in roadworks barriers at the busy junction of Piccadilly Circus in London's West End. Painting with an easel and applying careful brush strokes amid the noise and chaos of this busy traffic junction in the capital. A young man walks past barely noticing the artist as he strides through the heart of London's west end. But on the youth's t-shirt is a modern interpretation (wearing glasses and apparently spitting liquid into a cup) of Hans Memling's "Portrait of a Man with a Coin of the Emperor Nero (Bernardo Bembo)" German-born artist Jan van Mimnelinghe (Hans Memling, c. 1435-94) was well known all over Europe. During his lifetime, he painted commissions not only for the Burgundian Dukes, but also for patrons in Germany, Austria, Venice, Florence and London.

  • A 4.1m high bronze sculpture of a boy on a rocking horse has been unveiled on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, London, England, UK. Artists Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset say "Powerless Structures, Fig 101 (the title of the piece) questions "monuments predicated on military victory or defeat". They said it was "up to the public to love it or hate it" but "hopefully not ignore it". Funded by the Mayor of London and Arts Council England, the sculpture will remain in place for a year. The artists said, in a statement, that "the image of a young boy astride his rocking horse encourages viewers to consider the less spectacular events in their lives which are often the most important". The Fourth Plinth is an empty plinth in Trafalgar Square in central London originally intended to hold an equestrian statue. For over 150 years there was much squabbling about what to do with the fourth plinth, but very little agreement, until the temporary use of the plinth to display three pieces of art in the last years of the 20th century lead to a commission being formed to decide on a use for it. Eventually that commission unanimously decided to use it for the temporary display of artworks.
