  • It is dusk and the evening light is fast-disappearing behind the buildings of Westminster, London. Seen from the south bank of the River Thames and looking over Westminster Bridge, traffic lights trail and the light fades over the Palace of Westminster and the tall clock tower of Big Ben, London England. Street lights flare intensively during the long-exposure and there is enough ambient light to see the reflections on the river's water. The Palace, also known as the Houses of Parliament or Westminster Palace, is where the two Houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (the House of Lords and the House of Commons) conduct their business. It is therefore a potent symbol for British Governmental power, influence and a world-famous landmark for tourists. Big Ben is the name of the clock's bell and not the tower itself.

  • The ever-turning London Eye is seen over the River Thames with the Palace of Westminster and Parliament beyond. The wheel is blurred after a minute's exposure and the blue sky behind renders evening as a romantic cityscape backdrop. We see Big Ben in the Tower of Westminster and Parliament just as they have become floodlit and the stand out set against the other buildings, very easily recognised as the iconic London landmarks known around the world. The Eye, or as it was known in 2000, the Millennium Wheel, was designed by architects David Blian, Julia Barfield, Malcolm Cook, Mark Sparrowhawk, Steven Chilton and Nic Bailey, and carries 32 sealed, air-conditioned passenger capsules which rotate at 0.26 metres (0.85 feet) per second (about 0.9 km/h or 0.5 mph) so that one revolution takes about 30 minutes.

  • The four great chimneys of the Grade II listed Battersea Power Station rise to become one of South London's most notorious landmarks. In the foreground on Battersea Park Road is construction hoardings that yew hedges that act as an incongruous background with a bent phone box, recently damaged in a collision, and a bus stop at which a passenger awaits the next bus. Once a coal-fired power station located on the south bank of the River Thames, near Battersea in London, Battersea A Power Station was built first in the 1930s, with Battersea B Power Station to its east in the 1950s. The two stations were built to an identical design, providing the well known, four chimney layout. The station was decommissioned from generating electricity in 1983. The was used in The Beatles' 1965 movie Help! and on the cover of Pink Floyd's 1977 album Animals.

  • In the heart of the City of London, a caterpillar tracked crane tears down the walls of an old 70s office block close to St Paul's Cathedral, England. As a pedestrian walks past the blue hoardings that protect passers-by like him, the rubble is piled high before being removed as spoil to make way for an brand new construction that appears in an artist's impression picture on the right, above two site engineers wearing fluorescent jackets and hard hats. This is a scene of renewal in London's financial district. Of optimism and regeneration as businesses invest in new workplaces and replacing the tired, old offices that cannot accommodate new computer and server cabling technology.  ..

  • As traffic drives over London Bridge, a griffin statue marks the southern boundary between Southwark on the south side and the City of London beyond on the bridge. The City of London is a geographically-small City within Greater London, England. The City of London is the historic core of London from which, along with Westminster, the modern conurbation grew. The City's boundaries have remained constant since the Middle Ages but  it is now only a tiny part of Greater London. The City of London is a major financial centre, often referred to as just the City or as the Square Mile, as it is approximately one square mile (2.6 km) in area. London Bridge's history stretches back to the first crossing over Roman Londinium, close to this site and subsequent wooden and stone bridges have helped modern London become a financial success.

  • A Beefeater Sergeant Yeoman stands guard outside the Tower of London. The Yeomen Warders of Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London, and Members of the Sovereign's Body Guard of the Yeoman Guard Extraordinary, popularly known as the Beefeaters, are ceremonial guardians of the Tower of London. In principle they are responsible for looking after any prisoners in the Tower and safeguarding the British crown jewels, but in practice they act as tour guides and are a tourist attraction in their own right, a point the Yeoman Warders acknowledge. In 2011, there were 37 Yeomen Warders and one Chief Warder.

  • Visitors inspect the row of childrens' graves in the churchyard of St James, Cooling, Kent. Charles Dickens wrote about these graves in the opening of his famous novel Great Expectations. Dickens lived nearby in Higham and referred to this row of children's tombstones now inevitably referred to as Pip's graves. Dickens pictures them as '....five little stone lozenges each about a foot and a half long which were arranged in a neat row ... and were sacred to the memory of five little brothers of mine....' In fact the Cooling graves belong to the children of two families, aged between 1 month and about a year and a half, who died in the late 18th and 19th centuries.

  • It is morning in Kolkata (Calcutta), West Bengal, India and on the West bank of the Hooghly River the food market is busy with merchandise being brought across the Howrah Bridge. We see coconuts piled on the ground and women carrying sacks on their heads while others stand around them awaiting trade. Above them is the huge British engineering of the bridge which stretches across the water towards the city beyond. The bridge is one of three on the Hooghly River and is a famous symbol of Kolkata and West Bengal. Bearing the daily weight of approximately 150,000 vehicles and 4,000,000 pedestrians. It is one of the longest bridges of its type in the world. The Hooghly River is an approximately 260 km long distributary of the Ganges River and this bridge is one of the finest cantilever bridges in the world.
