  • The architecture of the Grand Staircase in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), on 17th September 2017, in Whitehall, London, England. The main Foreign Office building is in King Charles Street, and was built by George Gilbert Scott in partnership with Matthew Digby Wyatt and completed in 1868 as part of the new block of government offices which included the India Office and later (1875) the Colonial and Home Offices. George Gilbert Scott was responsible for the overall classical design of these offices but he had an amicable partnership with Wyatt, the India Office’s Surveyor, who designed and built the interior of the India Office.

  • Four office workers are outside their place of employment in central London for a quick cigarette break. Puffing guiltily on their fags that have sought a dark place on the pavement beneath some shelter although it is warm enough for two of the men to wear only shirts and ties while the only lady present is in a jumper. One member of the group draws heavily on his cigarette, a sign of his addiction and enjoyment of taking a five or ten-minute pause from his office job. A recent report showed smokers each lose an average of 30 minutes a day from their  workplaces to satisfy their habit. The average smoker takes at least three breaks from the office, each lasting around 10 minutes, research for the Benenden Healthcare Society found. The healthcare group estimates that 290,000 working days are being lost by people leaving their office to smoke.

  • City workers carry office possessions including computer hard drives and files that were damaged by the IRA bomb that devastated the City of London's Bishopsgate area in 1993. Allowed to return to their desks to recover their data and working paperwork, they walk through the ancient streets en route to new emergency office elsewhere in the capital. The Irish Republican Army (IRA) exploded a truck bomb on Bishopsgate. Buildings up to 500 metres away were damaged with one and a half million square feet (140,000 m) of office space being affected and over 500 tonnes of glass broken. Repair costs reached approx £350 million. It was said that Roman remains could be viewed at the bottom of the pit the bomb created. One person was killed when the one ton fertiliser bomb detonated directly outside the medieval St Ethelburga's church.

  • The shadows of two passing locals approach the tiny Cameron-run post office hut at Kyleakin on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. We see in the foreground the freshly painted Royal Mail post box which is lit by early morning sunshine telling us that the next collection is at 2.45pm despite it being 8.50am. This branch serves the local community of this Skye town, close to the Skye Bridge and is not only a place to post letters and packages but to buy miscellaneous supplies like newspapers and food at a time when rural sub-post offices are threatened with closure by a financially-troubled Royal Mail. Small villages like this often say that the post office is the ties its folk together, acting as a nucleus for information about village life. Their closure would therefore mean that the fabric of such remote communities are in jeopardy.

  • The last person to leave the office is a conscientious lady employee of the biscuit and snack manufacturer United Biscuits at their UK headquarters at Hayes Park North near London England. Seen in a window surrounded bright ceiling lights, the female sits at her desk tying up loose ends before leaving for the day. As darkness falls outside, the red lights from tail lights streak across the picture and the green grass on a landscaped bank is lit by light posts. None of her work colleages have stayed on, preferring to depart to see their families at home on this winter night. Perhaps this career woman is single and an ambitious member of the team who can dedicate more time to her job..

His computer monitor is on the desk next to him and beyond on the south bank, the evening sky is going purple and another office tower block's lights are on and the water of the River Thames is coloured blue. We see the office as a box, a work place where people are often separated from others by walls and partitions, creating an isolating work environment.
