  • The renowned maze designer Randoll Coate works in his studio on more labyrinth plans. Gilbert Randoll Coate (8 October 1909 – 2 December 2005) was a British diplomat, maze designer and "labyrinthologist". With interests in art and history, Coate completed over 50 new mazes in Britain and around the world. His designs are particularly noted for their symbolism. Although it is rarely possible to see a large maze in plan view, they would often incorporate hidden shapes and references of significance to the clients who had commissioned the maze. Notable work includes: Bath Festival Maze (1984) — a stone path in Beazer Gardens, Bath; a yew hedge maze at Blenheim Palace for the Duke of Marlborough; El laberinto de Borges (Borges Memorial Maze) — San Rafael, Mendoza, Argentina. He died in Le Rouret, near Grasse, France on the 2 December 2005, aged 96.

  • Aspirational message on construction hoarding where gentrification is happening in Camberwell, south London. The design message conveys a fantasy for many, for a quality lifestyle in affordable housing though the reality is far from this as ordinary people struggle to afford a place to live of their own. Camberwell is undergoing massive change as new flats and apartments are built to satisfy the government's need to develop housing for a population desperate for new homes. The graffiti seems to have been written as a no hope, disrespect to those wanting their own property.

  • Families linger in Hyde Park after another successful gold medal win, this time by Team GB triathlete Alistair Brownlee in the men's Triathlon during the London 2012 Olympic Games. The mid-week event surprisingly drew huge crowds into the capital's largest public (royal) park for an event, not usually attracting families with children who all enjoyed the fine weather and easy temperatures. A London 2012 merchandise shop was set up on the southern side and parents and kids used the exterior hoarding featuring iconic London landmarks such as Nelson's Column, St Paul's Cathedral and Tower Bridge, to relax against after an early start from homes around the country.

  • A landscape of facilities and equipment outside the curved wooden roof of the iconic Velodrome during the London 2012 Olympics. The final bill for the 2012 Olympics could be ten times higher than the original estimate, according to an investigation. The predicted cost of the games when London won the bid in 2005 was £2.37billion. That figure has now spiralled to more than £12billion and could reach as much as £24billion, the Sky Sports investigation claims. The Olympics public sector funding package, which covers the building of the venues, security and policing, was upped to around £9.3bn in 2007. This land was transformed to become a 2.5 Sq Km sporting complex, once industrial businesses and now the venue of eight venues including the main arena, Aquatics Centre and Velodrome plus the athletes' Olympic Village.

  • The Monument and modern construction site in the City of London. This old pillar commemorates the great Fire of London in 1666, a date sealed in the capital's history because it burned the central parts of the city of London, gutting the medieval area inside the old Roman city wall.  It consumed 13,200 houses, 87 parish churches, St Paul's Cathedral and most of the buildings of the City authorities. It is estimated to have destroyed the homes of 70,000 of the City's 80,000 inhabitants. In the background is the newest architecture called the Walkie-Talkie building with the latest of modernity nearer the Monument.

  • City Hall in the modern city of London and the ancient temple Teotihuacan in Mexico. The giant ad for Mexican tourism is a riverside poster by the offices of London's mayor. The holy city of Teotihuacan ('the place where the gods were created') is situated some 50 km north-east of Mexico City. Built between the 1st and 7th centuries A.D., it is characterized by the vast size of its monuments – in particular, the Temple of Quetzalcoatl and the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, laid out on geometric and symbolic principles. As one of the most powerful cultural centres in Mesoamerica, Teotihuacan extended its cultural and artistic influence throughout the region, and even beyond.

  • Mosaic representations of Roman animals in the abandoned city of Italica, near Seville. The central mosaic in the House of the Bird Mosaic which is the most Italian of all houses excavated in Italica, consists of thirty-five small square mosaics that surround a larger, central square scene. The city of Italica (Spanish: Itálica; north of modern day Santiponce, 9 km NW of Seville, Spain) was founded in 206 BC by the Roman general Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus in order to settle Roman soldiers wounded in the Battle of Ilipa, where the Carthaginian army was defeated during the Second Punic War. The name Italica bound the colonia to their Italian origins. Italica was the birthplace of Roman emperor Trajan.

  • Aspirational illustration of future housing development where gentrification is happening in Camberwell, south London. The illustration conveys a fantasy for many, for a quality lifestyle in affordable housing though the reality is far from this as ordinary people struggle to afford a place to live of their own. Camberwell is undergoing massive change as new flats and apartments are built to satisfy the government's need to develop housing for a population desperate for new homes. The image and graffiti seem to have been written as a no hope, disrespect to those wanting their own property.

  • Mannequins of women show a sexist stereotype of their gender, outside a clothing business in south London. High street styles and fashions are on display here, showing a sexist representation of how women might appear. As proof of how the fashion and retail industries see the perfect woman's form, we see a skinnier look, the proportions of a curvy rather than a rounded female shape. Womens' groups however see this as unrepresentative, undermining how women see themselves portrayed accurately in the shop window and therefore in everyday life.
