  • Lying in undergrowth, a camouflaged British infantry soldier is seen looking down the telescopic sight of the new British-made Long Range L115A3 sniper rifle on Salisbury Plain, Warminster, England. Sniping means concealment, observation and assassination, a strategy the British are using more against the Taliban in Afghanistan. Swiss Lapua .338 inch rounds (8.59mm) travel at sub-sonic speeds of 936 metres/sec, finding its target accurately up to 1,100 metres. The rifle weighs 6.8kg with telescopic image-intensified scopes to 25x life size vision, made by Schmidt & Bender. Front-mounted ‘suppressor’ minimises the signature normally compromising snipers’ position. At £23,000 each, a £4 million contract has been awarded to Accuracy International, to provide the Army, Royal Marines and RAF. The British say this is the best sniper rifle in the world.

  • Contractors working for Lambeth Council begin the controversial conversion of Carnegie Library into a gym, by pouring concrete into the Grade II listed building, on 18th December 2017, in Herne Hill, south London, England. Shut by Lambeth council and occupied by protesters for 10 days in April, the library which was bequeathed by American philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie has been locked ever since because, say Lambeth austerity cuts are necessary even though 24hr security make it more expensive to keep closed than open for the local community.

Sunshine pours through the window of this generic company foyer window, allowing the shadow of lettering to be projected on to tht rear wall - advertising that this building has office space to let. Retro seats have been carefully postioned and there is a theme of spots and circles within the picture to emphasize design and coincidence.

Five million sq ft throughout 2014, but still remains at its lowest level for seven years. This is despite over 3 million sq ft completing construction during 2014.

  • A cleaning crew with the contractor Conway wash down surfaces on the Millennium Bridge for the first time in its 15 year history. Workers in hi-vis clothing have climbed onto the bridge's suspension steel supports and have begun the large job to make the crossing across the river Thames a cleaner experience. Pedestrians walk across this footbridge linking Bankside with the City of London. Construction began in 1998 and it initially opened in June 2000. Londoners nicknamed the bridge the "Wobbly Bridge" after pedestrians initially felt an unexpected swaying motion.

  • The £18.2m Millennium Bridge (a Thames crossing linking the City of London at St. Paul's Cathedral with the Tate Modern Gallery at Bankside) was London's newest river crossing for 100-plus years and coincided with the Millennium, it was hurriedly finished and opened to the public on 10 June 2000 when an estimated 100,000 people crossed it to discover the structure oscillated so much that it was forced to close 2 days later. Over the next 18 months designers added dampeners to stop its wobble but it already symbolised what was embarrassing and failing in British pride. Now the British Standard code of bridge loading has been updated to cover the swaying phenomenon, referred to as Synchronous Lateral Excitation. Here a surveyor stands with legs spread peering into a tripod-mounted theodolite to measure its 370 metres (1,214 ft) steel length.

  • At the end of trading, tired brokers who used the 'open cry' form of communicating futures and commodity prices on the trading floor at the London International Financial Futures Exchange (LIFFE) in the 1990s. The floor is also known as the bear pit where derivatives, options, futures and their contracts are exchanged in a frenzy of arm and hand expressions which communicate prices and quantities. The LIFFE exchange was synonymous with the 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.
