  • Browsing man outside traditional, but disappearing, bookshop on Charing Cross Road. Rising rents and unfavourable leases are forcing such shops away from Charing Cross Road, long known for the new and second-hand book market that have attracted the literate for decades. Soon there will be none here and the character of this street and many like it, will change forever leaving behind a gentrified artificiality. The scene here is of a bygone era of old shops and old way of business.

  • Detail of yellow London brick stock laid in English Garden Bond on a south London Edwardian house. Rows of brick and cement, known as mortar are laid in courses called bonds and here, this style of ordering them is specifically, Sussex Bond. The stock of brick is London Stock, a yellowish colour favoured by Victorian and Edwardian buildings in the south-east of England. This was made locally in Suffolk and Kent and transported up-river on stumpies or brickies - kinds of Thames sailing barges. But bricks and mortar is also a metaphor for home ownership and in the economic sense, the value and security of investing in property.

  • 2 months before the London Olympics, a To Let sign is attached to the gates of a building offering space near to the 2012 Olympic Park site. Merely a mile from the main Olympic Park site that is due to attract thousands of international interest. The 500-acre Olympic Park is the largest recreational space to open in Europe for 150 years. More than £9 billion of public money has been pumped into the area and yet some building owners with property on the periphery of the Olympic venues have left their buildings empty, hoping for last minute offers.

The visual pun plays off the triangular sign that tells us that work has ended, a message we also understand from the plyboard attached to the former business premises, securing it from vandals, squatters or illegal occupation. A security light burns 24/7 and the old cab office's details along with the property agent's.

  • 'Last Day' is written on a closed taylors business in London, a victim of the UK recession. Reduced prices and services are listed on the glass with a poster urging customers to grab a bargain. Around a recession-bled Britain, high-street businesses have been going bust in their thousands. Britain has now endured eight recessions since the Second World War. No two recessions are alike, and that applies to the current slowdown also. It has been caused by a shock to the availability of credit, a massive build up of debt. The number of people out of work currently stands at almost two million. Given the rate at which the economy is deteriorating this could easily be above three million. From a continuing piece of work about windows and urban messages, the picture is from the project of closed business windows: 'Bust - the Art of Recession'.

It is a large red-brick detached house in the ‘Queen Anne’ style. Cadogan Gardens SW3, is an 1890s development between the King's Road and Sloane Street.

  • London's Theatre Royal in the capital's Haymarket, currently showing Shakespeare's The Tempest starring Ralph Fiennes. The Theatre Royal Haymarket (also known as Haymarket Theatre or the Little Theatre) is a West End theatre in the Haymarket in the City of Westminster that dates back to 1720, making it the third-oldest London playhouse still in use. Samuel Foote acquired the lease in 1747, and in 1766 he gained a royal patent to play legitimate drama (meaning spoken drama, as opposed to opera, concerts or plays with music) in the summer months. The original building was a little further north in the same street. It has been at its current location since 1821, when John Nash redesigned it. It is a Grade I listed building, with a seating capacity of 888.

  • The soon to disappear market at Elephant & Castle shopping centre in the London borough of Southwark. Its demise will be welcome to many locals who see Elephant as an inner-city ghetto though gentrification at the expense of affordable housing provokes others to protest. Lend Lease is working in partnership with Southwark Council to deliver a £1.5 billion regeneration project in Elephant & Castle. Over the next ten years, we will build nearly 3,000 new homes, over 50 shops and restaurants, and a brand new park.

  • Families examine a map of the Hong Kong region, with outlying islands and Mainland Chinese territories. An older family member (probably the grandfather) points to his grandchildren various locations including Kowloon where they may live within the territorial limits of the ex-British colony. This scene is still 2 years before the British Handover to China and each place is written in English first then Chinese characters beneath, a sign that Britain still ruled administratively. The granddad’s memories of British rule before the Handover will remind those of the 99-year lease that China offered the British and which ended in July 1997.

  • A young Hong Kong Chinese girl waves her newly adopted national flag as Britain hands the former UK territory back to China. It is late evening and surrounded by dragons and crowds outdoors to celebrate an historic date in the Chinese calendar, the girl holds the flag of the Communist superpower, smiling as her father takes a happy picture for the family album. The transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China, referred to as the Return by Chinese and the Handover by British press, took place on 1 July 1997. The event marked the end of British rule, and the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong to Chinese rule – the end of a 99-year lease.

  • Masked protesters of western leaders Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher kiss at a 1986 demonstration by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) against the hosting by the UK of US nuclear cruise missiles on British soil. Amid a chaotic scene of protest and intimidating police presence, the two unidentified people touch lips outside the US embassy (background) in London’s Grosvenor Square. In the Cold War era, both world leaders Reagan and Thatcher symbolised the special relationship between the US and the UK, who shared a common ideology for conquering the threats of Communist domination. Their answer was for the proliferation of atomic arsenals in order to maintain world stability and public protest was ever-present outside US interests and especially at the many RAF air bases that were leased to the US Air Force from where bombers flew.

  • The famous Curzon Soho cinema on Shaftesbury avenue in central London. Deep in the heart of Soho, Curzon’s flagship venue has established itself as the country’s busiest art-house cinema. Building on the site of the bombed Shaftesbury Pavilion of 1912, Harold Wingate had planned a sister site to the Curzon in Mayfair, but eventually the cinema was leased to Columbia Pictures and in February 1959 the Columbia Cinema opened with Gigi. Equipped to show 70mm, the cinema was sunk into the basement of a large office block. A generous foyer led down to the 734-seat screen.
