  • Local Peckham shoppers stop to read the spontaneous messages of love on the Poundland peace wall after the London riots. In response to the violence and destruction that took place the week before, communities reacted with anger in a way rarely seen in a large UK city these days. The messages vary in their sentiment but generally echo a sense of disgust at the looting and rioting with brief notes of co-operation, advice and communal encouragement. Walls like these have sprung up in other locations where destruction was widespread and locals lost their convenience stores, sports shops and even homes.

  • Low-budget east London housing and the 2012 Olympic stadium that dominates the end of a street of a nearby estate. Locals make their way up the road with the enormous arena behind that will hold 80,000.

Much has been reported over the legacy of such a mammoth project, the largest of urban parks created in Europe for more than 150 years built during a worldwide recession. Londoners were originally promised free event tickets but communities like this are largely excluded from the games.

  • A local passer-by and a property development ad on wall in east London borough of Stratford, Newham, home of 2012 Olympics. The 2012 Olympics has sparked a house price boom in east London but there are fears for this old East End neighbourhood as young professionals and penthouses push up Stratford house prices. Since London won the bid in 2005, talk of east London's Olympic property boom has proved both myth and reality. Even amid the worst recession since the 1930s, it was assumed that at least one corner of the country would be impregnable to house price doom. For some, this is true: parts of Hackney have recorded average rises of up to 56% between July 2005 and May 2011. But for other, less gentrified areas, it has been a different story; in Stratford the increase was 13%.

  • Accompanied by a pianist, south Londoners sit outside their rail station on whose wall is a screening of the silent film Easy Street starring a former local boy, Charlie Chaplin, kicking off a series of the Free Film Festival in Herne Hill in the London borough of Lambeth. There is no official record of his birth although Chaplin believed he was born at East Street in nearby Walworth. Chaplin's childhood was fraught with poverty and hardship, making his eventual trajectory ‘the most dramatic of all the rags to riches stories ever told’. Easy Street is a 1917 short comedy. In the film, the police are failing to maintain law and order and so it is Chaplin, as the Little Tramp character, who steps forward (rather reluctantly) to rid the street of bullies, help the poor, save women from madmen and generally keep the peace.
