  • A vertical version that shows the Corinthian columns and covered doorways of exclusive and classically-designed properties in London's famous Eaton Square Belgravia, SW1, owned by Grosvenor Estate. It is a bright spring day with a blue city sky and high, thin clouds. The sun shines on the cream-coloured architectural features and some shadows from trees opposite can be seen on the lower upright pillars and an ornate lamp post. Eaton Square is one of London's three garden squares built by Thomas Cubitt and the Grosvenor family when they developed the main part of Belgravia from 1826 until 1855. Belgravia attracts actors, politicians, ambassadors, big-budget bankers, traders and Prime Ministers like Neville Chamberlain and Stanley Baldwin at number 93.

  • An elderly gentleman wearing a traditional bowler hat and carrying a folded newspaper descends the steps from the bright daylight to the dark of the London Underground, before making his way home from Royal Exchange at Bank Triangle by tube. He is one of the last examples of a bygone age, when many in London's financial district wore such work clothes - a way of typifying a breed of Englishness and class system, known all over, and still expected, around the world. Sadly, gents like this are very rare after modern fashions, lower standards and changed attitudes in the workplace meant that younger men no longer wanted to wear a stuffy outfit to work. The days of the bowler are fast disappearing. Behind him are the tall and solid Corinthian pillars of the 3rd Royal Exchange built in 1842 by Sir William Tite.

Established in 1694, it is the second oldest central bank in the world.

  • City workers enjoy a lunchtime siesta in summer sunshine under solid Corinthian pillars of the Royal Exchange in City of London. With his tie askew and loosened around his neck, a successful businessman sits on a bench below the war memorial and tall pillars of this Victorian market building in the heart of London’s financial district. Alongside is an older, less prosperous man whose rumpled coat gives us the sense that he might be less accomplished than the younger gentleman. There is a heat wave in the capital and officer workers have come out into the sunshine to unwind and snatch a quick sleep in parks and open spaces. The neo-Romanesque Royal Exchange building also has Doric and Ionic columns with their ornate stonework, strong lintels with carvings featuring the design by Sir William Tite in 1842-1844 and opened in 1844 by Queen Victoria.

  • Neo-Roman Corinthian-topped columns and newer architecture, on 1st September 2016, at Elephant & Castle, London, England UK. The pillars belong to the Tabernacle, a Christian centre on the busy Elephant roundabout surrounded by 70s and 80s architecture. The regeneration of Elephant is a controversial change to this area of south London where a poor segment of society and more recently a migrant population has traditionally proliferated. With the construction of a new estate called Elephant Park comes a wealthier but less present occupier, more interested in investment than integration.

  • Tourists visiting Romano Greek statues in the Piazza della Sinoria, Florence.<br />
Piazza della Signoria is an L-shaped square in front of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy. It was named after the Palazzo della Signoria, also called Palazzo Vecchio.<br />
It is the focal point of the origin and of the history of the Florentine Republic and still maintains its reputation as the political hub of the city.It is the meeting place of Florentines as well as the numerous tourists, located near Ponte Vecchio and Piazza del Duomo and gateway to Uffizi Gallery.<br />
The Loggia dei Lanzi consists of wide arches open to the street, three bays wide and one bay deep. The arches rest on clustered pilasters with Corinthian capitals. The wide arches appealed so much to the Florentines, that Michelangelo even proposed that they should be continued all around the Piazza della Signoria<br />
It is effectively an open-air sculpture gallery of antique and Renaissance art including the Medici lions.

  • It is morning in Kolkata (Calcutta), West Bengal, India and on the streets around the Writers' Building, a busy fruit market is in full swing. Against the wall however, a dying skill is being shown: A man sits with his back to the bustle of the street and is hand-typing letters for those unable to write their own correspondence with his own battered typewriter. Working as a freelance typist, the man transcribes the hand-written words for a customer before the days of home PC or laptop. The Writers' Building (Mahakaran in Bengali) is the secretariat building of the State Government of West Bengal in India. The Writers' Building originally served as the office for writers of the British East India Company, hence the name. Designed by Thomas Lyon in 1780, it received its impressive Corinthian façade, an example of the Neo-Renaissance style, in 1889.
