Having just departed from Tilbury Docks with the evening sun glinting off the stern's reflective surfaces, stacks of tall containers are heaped high but evenly spread for stability along the massive vessel. They head out towards open sea, navigating through deeper water channels that naturally get shallower as silt chokes the waterways. Historically, the Thames has long been a route for shipping that kept the capital supplied and although the docks have seen huge decreases in traffic and volume since the second world war, Tilbury remains a busy hub for containerized vessels arrivng from all over the world.

  • The unrecognisable driver of a number 38 red London bus which is passing between sunlight and shadow, gives a thumbs up signal to another road-user in the streets of Victoria. On the side of the vehicle's bodywork are the destinations the 38 route passes:  Hackney, Dalston Junction, Angel, Piccadilly Circus and Victoria Station. The bus is a traditional design called a Routemaster which has been in service on the capital's roads since 1954 and is nowadays only seen on heritage routes. From any angle, the bus is easily recognisable as that classic British transport icon.

  • As a scooter rider on a Vespa edges past, a number 28 tram rumbles along a narrow street in the Portuguese capital, on 13th July 2016, in Lisbon, Portugal. The 28 is one of the trams not only used by the people of the capital but also of an increasing number of tourists who ride the entire route from Prazeres cemetery in the west of the city, to Rossio in the centre, after a loop through some of the most amazing streets and landmarks. So crowded is the 28, that older locals often can't sit down, having to stand over younger, inconsiderate tourist families who want a window seat for the entire journey - and back. Notices at termini remind visitors that this is a public service and to consider locals. (Photo by Richard Baker / In Pictures via Getty Images)

  • A local man carries tourism industry supplies downhill on the Annapurna Sanctuary trekking route in central Nepal. With the heavy load on his back, supported in the traditional Himalayan manner of a head strap that steadies the pack, the man makes his steady way down the foothill using a long pole for extra balance. Communities here partly-depend on the agriculture of rice-growing but also on the passing tourist trade. Western trekkers from all over the world walk through these tiny communities on their way up the series of climbing trails of the Annapurna Conservation Sanctuary circuit, a sometimes rigorous walk from the low hills of Pokhara to the higher altitudes of Annapurna, the (26,000 feet (8,000 metre) peak. To be greeted by so much choice is the most rewarding experience and the offer of hot showers is about the best reward for so much exertion.

  • An aerial landscape view of a railway network whose tracks and rails converge on a station in central London. Three trains filled with commuters all make their way into this unseen railway hub.
