  • A message for help has been left on the inside of a vacant business in Cheapside (Street) in the City of London. Written back to front from inside, the writer has mis-spelled the word 'we're' . In the UK, vacant or redeveloped shops and businesses, are smeared with diluted white emulsion paint and water thereby obscuring the building's interior for security reasons.

  • The graffiti left on walls inside the Reichstag building by Soviet soldiers after their battles in the German capital at the end of the second world war. The building, having never been fully repaired since the fire, was damaged by air raids. During the Battle of Berlin in 1945, it became one of the central targets for the Red Army to capture due to its perceived symbolic significance. Today, visitors to the building can still see Soviet graffiti on smoky walls inside as well as on part of the roof, which was preserved during the reconstructions after reunification.

  • The artist Rachel Whiteread CBE (born 1963) sits on the steps of her best-known sculpture called 'House'. 'House' stands alone on a now-empty and house-less East London street. Oddly, the contours of the structure have been inverted to reveal an inside-out version of the original building. It is a concrete cast of the inside of an entire Victorian terraced house completed in autumn 1993 and exhibited at the location of the original property -- 193 Grove Road -- in East London (all the houses in the street had earlier been knocked down by the council). It won Whiteread the Turner Prize (the first woman to do so) for best young British artist in 1993. Here we see 'House' at a close distance with graffiti painted on the walls stating the words "Wot for ..why not!" before it was controversially demolished by the council in January 1994.

  • Seen from the inside looking outwards, we see one of the giant 38 ton 'torso nodes' of Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 roof structure. Developed by Arup to design the geometry of abutment steel, this engineering challenge needed to help support 50 ton rafters to made T5 the largest free-standing building in the UK. In the centre is the torso that sits on top of two feet with the wings splaying out to the window. The main architecture was created by the Richard Rogers Partnership (now Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners) and opened in 2008 after a cost of £4.3 billion. Terminal 5 has the capacity to serve around 30 million passengers a year. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009). .

  • A lone musician kneels to play the tuba within an oval aperture in the art installation sculpture known as Colourscape on Clapham Common, South London, England.

  • The empty auditorium of the London Coliseum, home of English National Opera (ENO), remains closed for performances during the Coronavirus pandemic lockdown, on 7th July 2020, in London, England. The UK’s theatre ticket revenue contributes £1.28bn to the nation’s economy, in which there are 290,000 jobs (70% are at risk) so the government has announced a financial rescue package for the Arts industry, a £1.15bn support for cultural organisations in England that is made up of £880m in grants and £270m of repayable loans. But theatre and opera companies such as ENO, whose last performance was The Marriage of Figaro on 14th March, will stay closed for the foreseeable future until there are changes in social distance and safety guidelines. The 2,395-seat Coliseum (1904) is a Baroque revival (Wrenaissance) style theatre, built as one of West End's largest and most luxurious variety theatres.

  • A man reads childrens' titles in the re-opened Carnegie Library on Herne Hill in south London which has opened its doors for the first time in almost 2 years, on 15th February 2018, in London, England. Closed by Lambeth council and occupied by protesters for 10 days in 2016, the library bequeathed by US philanthropist Andrew Carnegie has been locked ever since because, say Lambeth austerity cuts are necessary. A gym that locals say they don't want or need has been installed in the listed basement and actual library space a fraction as before and it's believed no qualified librarians will be present to administer it. Protesters also believe this community building will ultimately sold off by Lambeth council for luxury homes.
