After the Olympics, the park is to be known as Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

  • The words 'Last Day' are painted in white emulsion on a window Camden North London, England. A Jesus figure, dolls  and various bric a brac are seen in the window behind the large lettering. 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'.

  • Exterior of The Castle Leisure Centre, the new facility replacing the old after redevelopment, built by the south London borough of Southwark, on 1st September 2016, at Elephant & Castle, London, England UK.

  • Street art piece reads 'Explore' woven into a fence using pink rope. Street art near Brick Lane in the East End of London. This is an ever changing visual enigma, as the artworks constantly change, as councils clean some walls or new works go up in place of others. While some consider this vandalism or graffiti, these artworks are very popular among local people and visitors alike, as a sense of poignancy remains in the work, many of which have subtle messages.

  • We look down behind an airline passenger who is alone on seating in the departures concourse of Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5. Mourning the death of a mother, the lady sits with a floral tribute to the recently-deceased relative whose name 'Mum' is laid out next to her in pink flowers. On her lap is the organic Soil Association's magazine Living Earth. Perhaps the woman is on her way to a family funeral and is flying from T5 on this sad flight. Amid the otherwise bustling international airport, the woman seeks solace and tries to sleep before her check-in zone opens. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).

  • Campaigners locked out of the closed Carnegie Library have written messages in chalk on the front entrance in Herne Hill, south London on 7th May 2016. For ten days, members of the community in the south London borough occupied their important resource for learning and social hub for the weekend. But after a long campaign by locals, Lambeth have gone ahead and closed the librarys doors because they say, cuts to their budget mean millions must be saved. A gym is planned to replace the working library and while some of the 20,000 books on shelves will remain, no librarians will be present to administer it. London borough’s budget cuts mean four of its 10 libraries will either close, move or be run by volunteers.

  • A parked Smart car recharges electric power at an EDF charging point in central London. Its yellow coiled cable stretching from charging point to car. Source London is now the capital’s largest charging network. It has significantly boosted existing numbers of charge points operated by a range of different localised schemes. By 2013, Source London will total at least 1,300 charge points, more than the number of petrol stations currently in London, ensuring the infrastructure is in place for significantly more people and businesses to buy an electric vehicle. The creation of an electric vehicle network is in line with the Mayor’s pledge to promote quality of life by reducing pollution and CO2 emissions.

  • A closed DVD rental shop in south London has gone bust, a victim of the UK's economic climate. 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'.

  • A memorial has been placed where a young man called ‘Aiden’ died in Prebend Street, London, England. If we just ignored this place where someone's life ended, the victim would just be a statistic but flowers are left to die too with touching poems written by family and loved-ones: “Champion among men, now a champion of angels/A star in the Heavens has been named in memory of Aiden.” From a project about makeshift shrines: Britons have long installed memorials in the landscape: Statues and monuments to war heroes, Princesses and the socially privileged. But nowadays we lay wreaths to the ordinary who die suddenly - killed as pedestrians, as drivers or by alcohol, all celebrated on our roadsides and in cities with simple, haunting roadside remembrances.

  • Protester with a placard which uses some colourful language to make their point. "Fuck teh Fucking Fuckers". Clearly an angry protester. UK Uncut shut down Westminster Bridge in a protest over NHS bill. Thousands of protesters occupied one of London’s most iconic landmarks on 9 October, in a last-ditch attempt to defeat legislation that is condemned by doctors as ‘undermining all that is precious about the NHS’. The anti-austerity direct action group demonstration blocked Westminster Bridge at 1pm on Sunday 9 October, days before the final vote in the House of Lords. The bill, which will see private patients treated at the expense of NHS patients, healthcare workers made redundant and reduce the priority of treating chronic and complex conditions, will be voted on by the Lords on the 12th October. The British Medical Association, the professional association of doctors in the UK, says the Bill “presents unacceptable risks to the NHS” and is calling for the Bill to be withdrawn.
