  • Three young British Asians pose in the street to show their gangland signs in Southall, west London. "Throwing up" a gang sign (e.g., "Stacking," "walk") with the hands is one of the most known and obvious forms of "claiming." It is used in many situations where other identifiers may not be possible or appropriate, and it can also show that a gang member is in the area to "do business" as opposed to just passing through. Usually these signs are made by formation of the fingers on one or both hands to make some sort of symbol or letter.

  • Addington Square, a Georgian and Regency garden square in Camberwell in the London Borough of Southwar, named after prime minister, Henry Addington. We see a wide landscape of this well-known square that has survived world wars intact.

Because three sides of the square back onto Burgess Park and there is no through traffic, it is a peaceful space popular with lunchtime office workers. This controlled access, period buildings and proximity to central London also make it popular with film crews. In the 1960s the square was notorious as the base of the Richardson Gang, a south London rival to the Kray twins gangsters.
