UK - London - City trader and Peabody statue

A trader from the LIFFE futures exchange takes a break in the street during a weekday lunchtime, beneath the statue of George Peabody in the City of London. Wearing the orange jacket of this once thriving financial instutution, we see a scene of wealth and prosperity, from an era of growth during the industrial revolution to the arrogance and self-indulgence during the government of John Major - a political inheritance from Margaret Thatcher. Peabody was a philathropist, banker and entrepreneur ( 1795 - 1869).
