The clean paving stones are untouched by inner-city feet and the landscape pristine. The film Hop is a CGI Universal Pictures production.

  • Workmen carry out the reinstallation of ‘Out of Tune’ by AK Dolven with a cherry picker and a crane on the 21st of May 2020 on the seafront in Folkestone, United Kingdom.

  • In the 24hrs that a further 38 died from Coronavirus, bringing the total to 41,736, a further easing of the UK’s Covid pandemic lockdown restrictions took place with many high street shops today being allowed to re-open after three months of forced closure. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, wanting to stimulate the economy, has urged people to shop with confidence and long queues formed outside the main brands. But unlike on public transport, face coverings are not compulsory so shop floors and shopping practices have had to be adapted to ensure customers’ social distances, amid fears of a second infection wave. Workmen clear a nearby business with free hand gel sanitiser, one of many dispensers and central London maps near Selfridges on Oxford Street, on 15th June 2020, in London, England.
