  • Two decorators work on scaffolding on the first floor of an Edwardian period home in south London. Warm light from inside the house contrasts with blue winter light at dusk a few miles south of parliament in Westminster. Other homes are in darkness. It is late one evening in central London, in a suburb known as Herne Hill, SE24 in the borough of Lambeth. We see across the metropolis from quiet and expensive period homes, whose owners would typically be white middle-class, across to the blocks of flats (apartments) in the Loughborough Estate, a far rougher location for street gangs and high crime rates.

  • Period Edwardian homes beneath 100 year-old ash trees in south London. The semi-detached houses are on Ruskin Park, Denmark Hill, SE24. It is a beauitiful autumn afternoon in this inner-city suburban district of Britain's capital, approximately 5 miles south from the River Thames. Late orange sun shines on these period homes that were completed in 1908, the age of innovative building in the new 20th Century. The properties overlook the borough park named after John Ruskin, the renowned artist and commentator who lived in nearby Herne Hill. It looks an affluent area, a prosperous location to invest in a mortgage in uncertain times with market prices falling during the credit crunch and recession.

  • Two men walk around the corner of a property wall and towards a roundabout, on 20th March 1968, in Kuwait, Persian Gulf. The period of 1946-82 is often termed the golden period of Kuwait by western academics. In the 1960s and 1970s, Kuwait was considered by some as the most developed country in the region. Kuwait was the pioneer in the Middle East in diversifying its earnings away from oil exports. The Kuwait Investment Authority is the worlds first sovereign wealth fund. From the 1970s onward, Kuwait scored highest of all Arab countries on the Human Development Index.
