  • An interior of office desks and 90s computers in the trading floor of The Chemical Bank in the City of London, the capital's financial centre. Screens glow with the most up to date trading figures and news items allowing traders to react instantly on the money markets. Large keyboards and hard drives and deep monitors were state of the art technology in the early 1990s.

  • Active trading inside the London Stock Exchange in the City of London during the late-eighties. We see an aerial view of the 1980s-era options trading floor, looking  down from a high vantagepoint on to the traders as they go about their business. Three years after the so-called Big Bang in 1986 , this location at the old Stock Exchange Tower  became redundant with the advent of the Big Bang, which deregulated many of the Stock Exchange's activities as it enabled an increased use of computerised systems that allowed dealing rooms to take precedence over face to face trading. Thus, in 2004, the House moved to a brand new headquarters in Paternoster Square, close to St Paul's Cathedral.

  • Two brokers working at the London International Financial Futures Exchange (LIFFE) have finished trading for the day and are resting chatting to colleages beneath a large old-fashioned dot matrix sign telling us the market's value at the close of business. They both wear orange jackets denoting their respective employers. They sit on the trading floor, otherwise known as the Pit where Derivatives, Options, Futures and their contracts are exchanged in a frenzy of arm and hand expressions which communicate prices and quantities. The LIFFE exchange was synonymous with Thatcherite capitalist money-making ethos in the City of London of the 80s and early 90s before the takeover by Euronext in January 2002. It is currently known as Euronext.liffe. Euronext subsequently merged with New York Stock Exchange in April 2007.

  • A portrait of an executive from the Baltic Exchange holding a framed photo of what the trading institution before it was wrecked by the IRA terrorist bomb nearby in St Mary Axe in the City of London. On 10 April 1992 at 9:20 pm, the façade of the Exchange's offices at 30 St Mary Axe was partially demolished and the rest of the building was extensively damaged in the Provisional Irish Republican Army bomb attack. The one-ton bomb was contained in a large white truck and consisted killed three people. Too heavily damaged, a full restoration of the premises was ruled out and the hall was completely razed in 1998. The Baltic Exchange is the world's only independent source of maritime market information for the trading and settlement of physical and derivative contracts.

  • A young trader in currencies leans back in his chair on the currency trading floor of Barclays Bank in the City of London, England, UK. Easing back during the stress of a day when the money markets have been volatile, this young man has the responsibilities of millions of Pounds Sterling to trade and value. He has old technology at his disposal, in the decade when technology made a big impression on the workplace but before the arrival of the internet and e-mail. Communication was therefore slow and unreliable although banks like Barclays who traded money across the world were skilled in migrating information across time-zones.
