Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RW3WYA - The Greek Revival fa??ade facing Great Russell Street is a characteristic building of Sir Robert Smirke, with 44 columns in the Ionic order 45 ft (14 m) high, closely based on those of the temple of Athena Polias at Priene in Asia Minor. The pediment over the main entrance is decorated by sculptures by Sir Richard Westmacott depicting The Progress of Civilisation, consisting of fifteen allegorical figures, installed in 1852.
The construction commenced around the courtyard with the East Wing (The King's Library) in 1823?1828, followed by the North Wing in 1833?1838, which originally housed among other galleries a reading room, now the Wellcome Gallery. Work was also progressing on the northern half of the West Wing (The Egyptian Sculpture Gallery) 1826?1831, with Montagu House demolished in 1842 to make room for the final part of the West Wing, completed in 1846, and the South Wing with its great colonnade, initiated in 1843 and completed in 1847, when the Front Hall and Great Staircase were opened to the public. The museum is faced with Portland stone, but the perimeter walls and other parts of the building were built using Haytor granite from Dartmoor in South Devon, transported via the unique Haytor Granite Tramway.
In 1846 Robert Smirke was replaced as the museum's architect by his brother Sydney Smirke, whose major addition was the Round Reading Room 1854?1857
at 140 feet (43 m) in diameter it was then the second widest dome in the world, the Pantheon in Rome being slightly wider.
The next major addition was the White Wing 1882?1884 added behind the eastern end of the South Front, the architect being Sir John Taylor.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T35BXM - Victoria station, also known as London Victoria, is a central London railway terminus and connected London Underground station in Victoria, in the City of Westminster, managed by Network Rail. Named after the nearby Victoria Street[4] (itself named after Queen Victoria), the main line station is a terminus of the Brighton Main Line to Gatwick Airport and Brighton and the Chatham Main Line to Ramsgate and Dover via Chatham. From the main lines, trains can connect to the Catford Loop Line, the Dartford Loop Line, and the Oxted line to East Grinstead and Uckfield. Southern operates most commuter and regional services to south London, Sussex and parts of east Surrey, while Southeastern operates trains to south-east London and Kent, alongside limited services operated by Thameslink. Gatwick Express trains run direct to Gatwick. The Underground station is on the Circle and District lines between Sloane Square and St James's Park, and the Victoria line between Pimlico and Green Park. The area around the station is an important interchange for other forms of transport: a local bus station is in the forecourt and Victoria Coach Station is nearby.
Victoria was built to serve both the Brighton and Chatham Main Lines, and has always had a split feel of being two separate stations. The Brighton station opened in 1860 with the Chatham station following two years later. It replaced a temporary terminus at Pimlico, and construction involved building the Grosvenor Bridge over the River Thames. It became immediately popular as a London terminus, causing delays and requiring upgrades and rebuilding. It was well known for luxury Pullman train services and continental boat-train trips, and became a focal point for soldiers during World War I.
Like other London termini, steam trains were phased out of Victoria by the 1960s, to be replaced by suburban electric and diesel multiple-unit services
all services from the station are currently operated using electric multiple units

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T35BXP - 124 Horseferry Road is the Grade II listed headquarters for the British television broadcaster, Channel 4. It is located in the City of Westminster, London and includes 100 residential apartments. The building was opened on 6 July 1994 and was designed by Richard Rogers and Partners.
After a selection process during the autumn of 1990, Channel 4 invited three architectural firms to take part in a competition to design their 15,000 m2 (160,000 sq ft) headquarters building on the south-eastern corner of Chadwick Street and Horseferry Road in a mixed development area of Westminster. The site consisted of an abandoned 10 m (33 ft) deep basement of a proposed 1970s post office building. The architectural brief also incorporated a requirement for a residential development of two blocks of flats including 100 apartments, an underground car park and a small public landscaped park. The three firms chosen were Bennetts Associates, Richard Rogers and Partners and James Stirling.
The Richard Rogers Partnership was chosen from the shortlist. This was the first major building that they had designed since the Lloyd's building (1978-1986). Construction began in 1990 and was completed in 1994. It was built on a design and build basis. The building consists of two four-storey office blocks that are connected to a central entrance block in an L shape. The entrance has a concave glazed wall. The building is finished in grey steel cladding, which is perforated by red-ochre steel struts. John Young, the project architect, said that the colour was taken from a paint sample provided by the City of San Francisco: it is the same colour as the Golden Gate Bridge.
The building was listed at Grade II by Historic England on 23 March 2023

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T35BY1 - The Peabody Trust was founded in 1862 as the Peabody Donation Fund and now brands itself simply as Peabody. It is one of London's oldest and largest housing associations with over 100,000 homes across London and the home counties. It is also a community benefit society and urban regeneration agency, with a focus on placemaking, stewardship and a provider of an extensive range of community programmes.
The Trust was founded in 1862 by London-based American banker George Peabody, who in the 1850s had developed a great affection for London, and determined to make a charitable gift to benefit it. His initial ideas included a system of drinking fountains
The Peabody Trust was later constituted by Act of Parliament, stipulating its objectives to work solely within London for the relief of poverty. This was to be expressed through the provision of model dwellings for the capital's poor.
The first block of Peabody dwellings in Commercial Street, Spitalfields. A wood-engraving published in the Illustrated London News in 1863, shortly before the building opened.
The first block, designed by H. A. Darbishire in a red-brick Jacobethan style, opened in Commercial Street, Spitalfields, on 29 February 1864. It cost ?22,000 to build, and contained 57 dwellings (i.e. flats) for the poor, nine shops with accommodation for the shopkeepers, and baths and laundry facilities on the upper floor. Water-closets were grouped in pairs by the staircases, with one shared between every two flats. This first block was followed by larger estates in Islington, Poplar, Shadwell, Chelsea, Westminster, Bermondsey, and elsewhere. By 1882 the Trust housed more than 14,600 people in 3,500 dwellings. By 1939 it owned more than 8,000 dwellings.
In its early days, the Trust imposed strict rules to ensure that its tenants were of good moral character. Rents were to be paid weekly and punctually
there was a night-time curfew and a set of moral standards to be adhered to

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RGHXAD - A wide view across the Bogside area of Derry / Londonderry, showing the cleared site of the former Bogside Inn, now an open and undeveloped plot within a dense residential neighbourhood. The empty ground contrasts with surrounding rows of terraced and social housing that climb the hillside beyond, highlighting patterns of demolition, change, and redevelopment within the inner city.
The Bogside is one of the most historically significant areas of Derry, closely associated with major events of the late twentieth century, including civil rights protests and the Troubles. Buildings such as the Bogside Inn formed part of the everyday social infrastructure of the area, and their removal reflects longer-term shifts in population, land use, and urban regeneration priorities.
Photographed in daylight under overcast skies, the image captures a transitional urban landscape where cleared land sits alongside established housing. The photograph is suitable for editorial and commercial uses illustrating urban regeneration, post-industrial and post-conflict cityscapes, housing policy, land reuse, and the physical legacy of social and political change in Northern Ireland.
Location: Bogside area, Derry / Londonderry, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, BT48 (approximate district

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R39Y6M - Avanti West Coast is a train operating company in the United Kingdom owned by FirstGroup (70%) and Trenitalia (30%) that operates the West Coast Partnership.
During November 2016, the Department for Transport (DfT) announced the InterCity West Coast franchise would be replaced by the West Coast Partnership (WCP). In August 2019, the DfT awarded the WCP franchise to the First Trenitalia consortium. On 8 December 2019, Avanti West Coast took over operations from the prior operating company Virgin Trains, which had run the franchise since 1997. Originally, the franchise was initially scheduled to run until March 2030, and had also been set to operate the initial High Speed 2 services from 2026. However, during December 2020, it was announced that First Trenitalia and the DfT had agreed to terminate the WCP franchise at the earlier date of 31 March 2026 as part of the abolition of the franchise system. Since then a number of contract changes have taken place due to COVID-19 and then poor performance by the company. As of March 2023, the company's contract will expire in October 2023.
Between 14 August and 18 September 2022, Avanti West Coast reduced its timetable, citing unofficial strike action from its employees. However, this allegation was disputed by Aslef, which accused the company of lying and blamed their lack of recruitment, especially of train drivers, for the problems. Trains were running at one service per hour on the majority of routes, as opposed to the three which would typically occur on the London Euston to Manchester Piccadilly route. Following these changes, Avanti West Coast was subject to public criticism
news stories emerged of numerous train cancellations, overcrowded services, delays, and expensive fares. Many commuters faced difficulties reaching their destinations on the reduced services and some travellers have been left to wait for to two days before travel for tickets to be released for sale

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R39XY3 - Brick Lane (Bengali: ?????? ?????) is a famous street in the East End of London, in the borough of Tower Hamlets. It runs from Swanfield Street in Bethnal Green in the north, crosses the Bethnal Green Road before reaching the busiest, most commercially active part which runs through Spitalfields, or along its eastern edge. Brick Lane's southern end is connected to Whitechapel High Street by a short extension called Osborn Street.
Today, it is the heart of the country's Bangladeshi community with the vicinity known to some as Banglatown. It is famous for its many curry houses
The street was formerly known as Whitechapel Lane, and wound through fields. It derives its current name from brick and tile manufacture started in the 15th century, which used the local brick earth deposits
In the 19th century, Irish people and Ashkenazi Jews immigrated to the area. Jewish immigration continued into the early 20th century.
In the 20th century the Brick Lane area was important in the second wave of development of Anglo-Indian cuisine, as families from countries such as Bangladesh (mainly the Greater Sylhet region) migrated to London to look for work. Some curry houses of Brick Lane do not sell alcoholic beverages, for most are owned by Muslims. According to EasyJet Traveller magazine, the top three curry houses on Brick Lane in 2021 are Aladin, Sheba and City Spice.
Bengalis in the United Kingdom settled in big cities with industrial employment. In London, many settled in the East End. For centuries the East End has been the first port of call for many immigrants working in the docks and shipping from Chittagong port in Bengal

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R39Y2F - The New Routemaster, originally referred to as the New Bus for London and colloquially as the Borismaster or Boris Bus, is a low-floor diesel double-decker bus operated in London, England. Designed by Heatherwick Studio and manufactured by Wrightbus, it is notable for featuring a hop-on hop-off rear open platform similar to the original Routemaster bus design but updated to meet requirements for modern buses to be fully accessible. It first entered service in February 2012.
The original AEC Routemaster was used as the standard London bus type, with a rear open platform and crewed by both a driver and conductor. After half a century it was withdrawn from service at the end of 2005 (except for two heritage routes which operated until 2014 and 2019 respectively), in favour of a fully accessible one-man-operated modern fleet (including articulated buses), none of which featured a rear open platform. The withdrawal of the Routemaster became an issue during the 2008 London mayoral election with Boris Johnson elected mayor with a campaign pledge being to introduce a new Routemaster. Following an open design competition in 2008, Wrightbus was awarded the contract to build the bus at the end of 2009, and the final design was announced in May 2010.
The design for the new double-decker bus was inspired by the original AEC Routemaster, and features three doors and two staircases to allow accessible boarding. Unlike the AEC Routemaster, the new bus has a full front end rather than the protruding, bonneted half cab design, and a rear platform with a door that can be closed, rather than being permanently open. The layout of the new bus allows it to be operated by the driver alone. The cost of each bus was ?355,000 over the four-year procurement period. The last of the 1,000 New Routemasters was delivered in December 2017

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R3WMNT - This image shows Central Parade flats and its prominent clock tower on Church Hill in Walthamstow, East London, an instantly recognisable local landmark within the Walthamstow Village area of the London Borough of Waltham Forest. The building dates from the interwar period and reflects the practical yet decorative municipal architecture of the 1930s, combining red brick construction with patterned concrete panels and a tall vertical tower housing a large public clock.
The development was designed as mixed-use housing, with commercial premises at ground level and residential flats above, a common urban model intended to support walkable neighbourhoods and local trade. The clock tower acts as both a civic feature and a wayfinding landmark, visually anchoring Church Hill and the surrounding streets.
The photograph was taken in daylight under a bright, partly cloudy summer sky, which highlights the contrasting textures of brick, concrete, and glazing across the facade. Pedestrians, traffic signals, and nearby residential buildings place the structure firmly within everyday London life, emphasising its continued role as functional housing rather than a preserved monument.
Images such as this are well suited to editorial use covering themes of London housing, social and municipal architecture, urban regeneration, local identity, mixed-use development, and the character of historic residential areas in East London.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R3WMP8 - This image shows the Royal Mail Customer Service Point and delivery office in Walthamstow, located on Forest Road in the London Borough of Waltham Forest, East London. The utilitarian mid-20th-century building combines red brick and concrete cladding, with clearly visible Royal Mail branding above the public entrance and a red-framed customer service area at street level.
Prominently mounted on the roof is a cluster of telecommunications masts and antennas, used by mobile phone and radio networks, highlighting how essential public buildings are often repurposed to support modern digital communications infrastructure. The juxtaposition of traditional postal services with contemporary telecoms equipment reflects the evolving nature of national infrastructure in the UK, where legacy institutions coexist with mobile and data networks.
The scene is photographed in daylight under a bright blue sky with scattered cloud, lending clarity to the architectural details and rooftop installations. A member of the public can be seen entering or leaving the service point, reinforcing the everyday, functional role of the building in handling mail, parcels, and customer collections.
Images like this are well suited to editorial use covering themes of public services, logistics, communications networks, urban infrastructure, digital transformation, and the continuing role of Royal Mail as a key national institution in England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R3WMRC - This image shows a branded contractor van used by Orbit Building Communities, displaying the logo and web address of MPS Housing, one of its housing repairs and maintenance partners. The white service vehicle is equipped with roof-mounted ladders, indicating use for building maintenance and on-site repair work.
Orbit Building Communities is a major UK housing association providing social and affordable housing across England. Contractors such as MPS Housing deliver frontline services including responsive repairs, planned maintenance, and compliance-related works within occupied residential properties. Vehicles like this are a familiar sight on housing estates and residential streets, representing the operational backbone of social housing delivery.
The photograph was taken in daylight in a residential London setting, with brick housing visible in the background. The clear branding highlights the increasingly professionalised and outsourced nature of housing maintenance services within the UK social housing sector, where housing associations rely on specialist contractors to meet regulatory standards and tenant expectations.
This image is suitable for editorial use covering social housing, housing maintenance, public sector contracting, property repairs, urban living, and the day-to-day infrastructure that supports affordable housing provision in London and across the UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R3WMRX - This image shows the exterior of the Barrel Store operated by Wild Card Brewery, located on the Ravenswood Industrial Estate in Walthamstow, East London. Bold painted lettering on the rendered wall advertises the Barrel Store and highlights the brewery's focus on the retail and manufacture of barrel-aged beer, a specialist area within the UK craft brewing scene.
Wild Card Brewery is part of a wider cluster of independent creative and food-and-drink businesses that have taken root in former light-industrial premises across Walthamstow. Facilities such as the Barrel Store are used for ageing beer in oak barrels, allowing flavours to develop over extended periods and linking modern craft brewing with traditional production techniques.
The scene is photographed in daylight under a partly cloudy sky, with picnic-style outdoor seating visible in front of the building, suggesting use as both a working production space and a customer-facing retail or tasting area. The utilitarian industrial setting contrasts with the growing cultural and social role of craft breweries as community hubs.
This image is well suited to editorial use covering London's craft beer movement, independent breweries, small-scale manufacturing, urban regeneration, food and drink culture, and the reuse of industrial estates by creative businesses in East London.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R3WMTW - This image shows the illuminated neon sign for The Rolling Scones Cafe, located within God's Own Junkyard on the Ravenswood Industrial Estate in Walthamstow, East London. The caf?? forms an integral part of the visitor experience at the venue, providing food and drink amid one of London's most distinctive collections of neon signage.
God's Own Junkyard is internationally recognised for its dense, immersive displays of vintage and custom-made neon signs, many of which have appeared in films, television, and music videos. The Rolling Scones Caf?? sits among this visual overload, serving visitors, photographers, and tourists who come to experience the space as both an art installation and a cultural attraction.
The sign itself uses flowing red neon script spelling The Rolling Scones, with a smaller illuminated Cafe panel beneath, mounted against industrial brickwork typical of former light-industrial buildings in the area. The contrast between utilitarian architecture and expressive neon typography reflects the wider character of the Junkyard, where commercial signage is recontextualised as art.
Photographed in daylight, the image highlights the continued relevance of neon signage in contemporary creative spaces. It is well suited to editorial use covering London cafes, independent hospitality, creative venues, neon art, cultural tourism, and the adaptive reuse of industrial estates in East London.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R3Y98N - A liquor store is a retail business that predominantly sells prepackaged liquors (typically in bottles), wine or beer, usually intended to be consumed off the store's premises. Depending on region and local idiom, they may also be called an off-licence (in the UK and Ireland), off-sale (in parts of Canada and the US), bottle shop, bottle store or, colloquially, bottle-o (in Australia, New Zealand and parts of Canada), liquor store (in Canada, the US, Australia and New Zealand) or other similar terms. A very limited number of jurisdictions have an alcohol monopoly. In US states that are alcoholic beverage control (ABC) states, the term ABC store may be used.
The Twenty-first Amendment of the United States Constitution allows states to regulate the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages. State regulations vary widely. The majority of the U.S. states have laws specifying which alcoholic beverages must be sold in specialty liquor stores and which may be sold in other venues.
In seventeen alcoholic beverage control (ABC) states, the specialty liquor stores are owned and operated exclusively by the state government, where liquor stores often sell only spirits or sometimes sell spirits and wine but not beer. ABC-run stores may be called ABC stores or state stores.
In Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Texas, liquor stores are also known as package stores
locally in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and areas bordering these states the term pack or packie is used as well, because purchased liquor must be packaged in sealed bottles or other containers when it is taken from the store
In three states (Kansas, Minnesota, and Utah), only low-point beer may be sold in supermarkets or gas stations. In Utah, stores not owned and operated by the state are known as Package Agencies. These are liquor outlets operated by private individuals or corporate entities under contract with the state for the purpose of selling packaged liquor

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R3Y9B7 - This image shows a large, multi-panel street art mural covering the exterior walls of BAT Studio in Walthamstow, East London. The building has been transformed into a vibrant outdoor artwork, with bold blocks of colour and illustrated characters painted directly onto the brickwork and roller shutter doors.
The mural combines human and animal figures rendered in a graphic, storybook-like style, reflecting the playful yet slightly unsettling tone common in contemporary urban illustration. Elements such as expressive faces, hybrid characters, and narrative fragments encourage viewers to interpret the scene rather than presenting a single fixed meaning.
BAT Studio forms part of Walthamstow's wider creative ecosystem, where former industrial and warehouse spaces have been repurposed for artist studios, makers, and small creative businesses. Street art plays a significant role in shaping the area's visual identity, contributing to local character while also signalling cultural regeneration and community engagement.
Photographed in daylight under an overcast sky, the image evenly captures the scale, colour, and detail of the artwork without harsh shadows. It is well suited to editorial use covering street art, urban creativity, public art, regeneration, contemporary illustration, and the evolving cultural landscape of East London.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R3Y9N6 - The tomb of Isaac Solly, St Mary's Churchyard
St Mary's Church is very much at the centre of Walthamstow Village - an Essex village which has been engulfed in the London sprawl. The west tower, aisles and chancel chapels were built during the reign of Henry VIIIth. The church was altered and enlarged in 1818 and again in 1843. On 6th April 1673 Richard Penn and on 4th March 1681 Lady Penn were buried. They were the brother and mother of William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania.
Isaac Solly died on February 4th 1802 aged 77 and he certainly has a very distinctive tomb with the sad lions and the tomb resting on lions' feet.
This tomb is in the western half of the churchyard, beyond the path which separates it from the church.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R3Y9Y6 - This image shows exterior signage for Church Hill Dental Practice, located on Church Hill in Walthamstow, East London. The prominent blue sign clearly states the name of the practice, telephone number, and the availability of both NHS and private dental services, alongside a welcoming message for new and nervous patients.
A smaller hanging sign reading Dental Surgery is visible higher on the building, reinforcing the identity of the premises as a local healthcare provider. The practice operates from a converted Victorian residential property, typical of many community dental surgeries in London, where former houses have been adapted to serve neighbourhood medical needs.
The wording on the sign highlights an emphasis on accessibility and reassurance, reflecting the importance of patient confidence and comfort in dental care. The scene is photographed in daylight, with the brick facade, bay windows, and surrounding residential details situating the practice firmly within the everyday streetscape of Walthamstow.
This image is well suited to editorial use covering primary healthcare, dentistry, NHS services, community medical provision, patient accessibility, and local life in East London.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R3YB25 - The British Rail Class 710 Aventra is a type of electric multiple unit passenger train built by Bombardier Transportation for use on the London Overground network. The trains are part of Bombardier's Aventra family. The contract to provide 45 four-car trains was awarded in July 2015 and the trains were originally due to enter service in May 2018, although introduction was delayed until May 2019
In 2012, Transport for London announced its intention to procure a fleet of new, longer DMUs, as the Class 172 units then in service were unable to handle the passenger demand, causing overcrowding throughout the day. TfL issued a tender for manufacturers to supply eight three- or four-car trains.[3] However, this proposal was subsequently shelved when the Government announced in June 2013 that the Gospel Oak to Barking line would be electrified,[4] with proposals instead to purchase a fleet of new EMUs.
TfL invited expressions of interest for a total of 39 four-car EMUs in April 2014, with 30 required for the Lea Valley Lines, eight for the Gospel Oak to Barking line, and one for the Romford?Upminster line - all of which have replaced Class 315 and Class 317 trains dating from the 1980s, and Class 172 trains dating from 2010.[5] Since then the planned procurement was increased to 45 four-car EMUs, with the additional six units intended for the Watford DC Line. The intention is that the five-car Class 378 trains currently used on the Watford DC line will be cascaded back to the North London line and East London Lines to allow for strengthened services

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R4WEG8 - Liverpool Street station, also known as London Liverpool Street, is a central London railway terminus and connected London Underground station in the north-eastern corner of the City of London, in the ward of Bishopsgate Without. It is the terminus of the West Anglia Main Line to Cambridge, the Great Eastern Main Line to Norwich, commuter trains serving east London and destinations in the East of England, and the Stansted Express service to Stansted Airport.
The station opened in 1874, as a replacement for Bishopsgate station as the Great Eastern Railway's main London terminus. By 1895, it had the most platforms of any London terminal station. During the First World War, an air raid on the station killed 16 on site, and 146 others in nearby areas. In the build-up to the Second World War, the station served as the entry point for thousands of child refugees arriving in London as part of the Kindertransport rescue mission. The station was damaged by the 1993 Bishopsgate bombing and, during the 7 July 2005 bombing, seven passengers were killed when a bomb exploded aboard an Underground train, just after it had departed from Liverpool Street. New platforms for the Elizabeth line opened in 2022 as part of the Crossrail project.
Liverpool Street was built as a dual-level station, with provision for the Underground. A tube station opened in 1875 for the Metropolitan Railway
the tube station is now served by the Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines. It is in fare zone 1 and is managed directly by Network Rail.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R39XGA - Canary Wharf is an area of London, England, located near the Isle of Dogs in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Canary Wharf is defined by the Greater London Authority as being part of London's central business district, alongside Central London.[1] With the City of London, it constitutes one of the main financial centres in the United Kingdom and the world, containing many high-rise buildings including the third-tallest in the UK, One Canada Square, which opened on 26 August 1991.
Developed on the site of the former West India Docks, Canary Wharf contains around 16,000,000 sq ft (1,500,000 m2) of office and retail space. It has many open areas, including Canada Square, Cabot Square and Westferry Circus. Together with Heron Quays and Wood Wharf, it forms the Canary Wharf Estate, around 97 acres (39 ha) in area.
Canary Wharf is located on the West India Docks on the Isle of Dogs.
In October 1995, an international consortium that included investors such as Alwaleed, bought control for $1.2 billion. Paul Reichmann, of Olympia & York, was named chairman, and Canary Wharf went public in 1999. The new company was called Canary Wharf Limited, and later became Canary Wharf Group.
In 1997, some residents living on the Isle of Dogs launched a lawsuit against Canary Wharf Ltd for private nuisance because the tower interfered with TV signals. The residents lost the case.
Recovery in the property market generally, coupled with continuing demand for large floorplate Grade A office space, slowly improved the level of interest. A critical event in the recovery was the much-delayed start of work on the Jubilee Line Extension, which the government wanted ready for the Millennium celebrations.
In March 2004, Canary Wharf Group plc. was taken over by a consortium of investors, backed by its largest shareholder Glick Family Investments and led by Morgan Stanley using a vehicle named Songbird Estates plc.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R4WDH2 - This image shows a blue heritage plaque commemorating Charles Dickens, mounted on the exterior wall of Tavistock House in the Bloomsbury area of central London. The plaque records that Dickens lived at or near this site between 1851 and 1860, a significant period in his literary career during the height of Victorian Britain.
Charles Dickens is widely regarded as one of the greatest English novelists, known for works such as Bleak House, Hard Times, Little Dorrit, and Great Expectations. His time at Tavistock House coincided with the production of several major novels and reflects his close association with London, a city that features prominently in his writing as both setting and subject.
Blue plaques form part of a long-established British tradition of marking buildings connected with notable historical figures, helping to preserve cultural memory within the urban landscape. Positioned on a stone facade beside an arched window, the plaque links everyday streetscapes with the literary and social history of the capital.
Photographed in daylight, the image emphasises the crisp blue-and-white enamel of the plaque against the pale masonry, making it well suited to editorial use covering English literature, literary heritage, historic London, famous writers, education, and cultural tourism in the UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R4WDTJ - This image shows the entrance to Greenwich Pier, a key River Thames passenger pier located in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, South East London. The prominent blue signage identifies the pier as part of London's integrated river transport network, used by both commuters and visitors travelling along the Thames.
Greenwich Pier is served by TfL River Bus services operated by Thames Clippers, linking Greenwich with central London destinations such as Westminster, Embankment, and Canary Wharf. River transport plays an increasingly important role in London's public transport system, offering an alternative to road and rail travel while also supporting tourism along the Thames corridor.
The modern pier building features a curved glass frontage, with people visible entering and exiting the terminal. Pedestrians in the foreground highlight the pier's dual role as both a commuter hub and a gateway for tourists visiting nearby attractions including Greenwich town centre, the Cutty Sark, and the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site.
Photographed in daylight under clear skies, the image captures the everyday activity of London's river transport infrastructure. It is well suited to editorial use covering public transport, sustainable travel, London tourism, riverside development, urban mobility, and life along the River Thames

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R4WDW2 - This image shows an Indian street food stall operating in Greenwich, South East London, specialising in hot Kathi rolls. The menu banner advertises a range of fillings including chicken roll, lamb seekh roll, paneer roll, and chana roll, reflecting the popularity of Indian fast food adapted for the UK street-food market.
Kathi rolls originated in Kolkata and have become a familiar feature of London's diverse street-food scene, offering spiced fillings wrapped in flatbread and cooked fresh on a hot griddle. The stall is set up under a temporary gazebo, with an open cooking area that allows customers to watch food being prepared to order, reinforcing the immediacy and authenticity associated with street-food culture.
The photograph captures a working moment during service, with ingredients laid out on the counter and the vendor actively cooking. The informal setup, disposable containers, and visible condiments underline the practical, mobile nature of pop-up food trading commonly seen in busy tourist locations such as Greenwich.
Taken in daylight, the image is well suited to editorial use covering London street food, Indian cuisine, outdoor markets, multicultural food culture, casual dining, tourism, and everyday life in one of London's most visited historic districts.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R4WDW6 - This image shows the interior of the Greenwich Foot Tunnel, an underground pedestrian passage linking Greenwich with the Isle of Dogs beneath the River Thames in London. Opened in 1902, the tunnel remains an important piece of public transport infrastructure, used daily by commuters, residents, and visitors.
The photograph captures the distinctive curved, white-tiled interior of the tunnel, with its strong sense of perspective drawing the eye toward the far end where people are walking through the passage. On the left wall, a large red sign clearly lists prohibited activities, including cycling, skating, and littering, and instructs users to keep left, reflecting the need to manage shared public space safely in a confined environment.
The presence of pedestrians of different ages highlights the tunnel's continued relevance as a free, non-motorised crossing of the Thames, supporting walking and sustainable urban movement. The lighting and tiled surfaces emphasise the utilitarian, early-20th-century engineering character of the structure.
Taken indoors under artificial lighting, this image is well suited to editorial use covering London transport infrastructure, historic engineering, pedestrian mobility, sustainable travel, urban planning, and everyday life along the River Thames.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R4WDXM - This image shows the north entrance of the Greenwich Foot Tunnel on the Isle of Dogs in East London. A cyclist is seen emerging from the red brick and stone entrance building, highlighting the tunnel's continued use as a key non-motorised crossing beneath the River Thames.
Opened in 1902, the Greenwich Foot Tunnel was constructed to provide free access for pedestrians between Greenwich and what is now the Canary Wharf area, supporting workers travelling to docks and industrial sites on both sides of the river. Today it remains an important route for commuters, residents, and visitors, particularly for walking and cycling, although cyclists are required to dismount within the tunnel itself.
The entrance building features characteristic Edwardian civic architecture, with solid brickwork, stone detailing, and recessed doorways that convey durability and public purpose. The scene is photographed in daylight, with trees and greenery visible nearby, situating the structure within its riverside urban setting.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R4WDXW - This image shows a wide riverside view of Maritime Greenwich in South East London, capturing several of the area's most recognisable transport and heritage features in a single frame. Visible along the riverfront are the Cutty Sark, the domed entrance to the Greenwich Foot Tunnel, and Greenwich Pier.
In the foreground, an Uber Boat by Thames Clippers passenger vessel travels along the River Thames, illustrating the continued importance of the river as part of London's public transport network. River bus services connect Greenwich with central London and Canary Wharf, serving both daily commuters and tourists.
The juxtaposition of historic maritime landmarks with modern river transport highlights Greenwich's dual identity as a place of global naval heritage and a functioning part of contemporary London life. The Cutty Sark's tall masts recall Britain's age of sail, while the sleek river boats reflect current priorities around sustainable and alternative transport.
Photographed in daylight under clear skies, the image conveys a sense of scale, activity, and continuity along the Thames. It is well suited to editorial use covering London transport, river commuting, heritage tourism, historic landmarks, urban geography, and the evolving role of the River Thames in the capital.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R4WE19 - This image shows a directional sign for the Thames Path in Maritime Greenwich, South East London. The sign points walkers along one of the UK's best-known long-distance footpaths, which follows the River Thames from its source in Gloucestershire to the Thames Barrier in East London.
Behind the sign, partially obscured by spring foliage, are the classical facades of the Old Royal Naval College, part of the Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage Site. The combination of historic architecture, mature trees, and formal iron railings reflects the carefully planned riverside landscape that characterises this part of Greenwich.
The Thames Path is heavily used by walkers, joggers, commuters, and tourists, offering continuous public access along the river and connecting major London landmarks. Signage such as this plays an important role in wayfinding and promoting sustainable, car-free movement through the city.
Photographed in daylight under a clear blue sky with fresh green leaves on the trees, the image is well suited to editorial use covering London walking routes, urban green space, heritage landscapes, sustainable transport, outdoor leisure, and life along the River Thames.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R4WE1G - This image shows a wide view across the River Thames from Greenwich in South East London, looking toward the O2 Arena at North Greenwich and the modern skyline of Canary Wharf beyond. The distinctive white dome of the O2, originally built as the Millennium Dome, is visible alongside the cluster of high-rise office towers that define London's Docklands financial district.
In the foreground, boats travel along the River Thames, emphasising the river's continued role as a working transport corridor as well as a visual and recreational feature of the city. The movement of vessels contrasts with the static skyline, highlighting different layers of London's urban life.
The scene illustrates the dramatic transformation of East London since the late 20th century, where former docklands and industrial areas have been redeveloped into major commercial, entertainment, and residential districts. Viewed from Greenwich, an area rich in maritime heritage, the modern architecture across the river underscores the city's constant evolution.
Photographed in daylight under a blue sky with scattered clouds, the image is well suited to editorial use covering London cityscapes, urban regeneration, riverside development, transport, travel, and the juxtaposition of historic and contemporary London.

The council was created by the London Government Act 1963 and replaced two local authorities: Finsbury Metropolitan Borough Council and Islington Metropolitan Borough Council.
It is a London borough council, one of 32 in the United Kingdom capital of London. Islington is divided into 17 wards, each electing three councillors.[1] Following the May 2022 election, Islington Council comprises 48 Labour Party councillors and 3 Green Party councillors.[2] Of these 51 councillors, the Leader of the Council is Councillor Kaya Comer-Schwartz, while the Mayor is Councillor Marian Spall

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JJGB2E - The French House is a pub and dining room at 49 Dean Street, Soho, London. It was previously known as the York Minster, but was informally called the French pub or the French house by its regulars. It sells more Ricard than anywhere else in Britain, and only serves beer in half-pints except on 1 April, when a recent custom apparently has been that Suggs serves the first pint of the day
The pub was opened by a German national named Christian Schmitt in 1891 and traded as York Minster. Schmitt died in 1911. His wife, Bertha Margaretha Schmitt, continued to run the pub until 1914
After the fall of France during the Second World War, General Charles de Gaulle escaped to London where he formed the Free French Forces. His speech rallying the French people, ?? tous les Fran??ais, is said to have been written in the pub.
The French House has always been popular with artists and writers. Brendan Behan wrote large portions of The Quare Fellow there, and Dylan Thomas once left the manuscript of Under Milk Wood under his chair. Other regulars over the years have included Francis Bacon, Tom Baker, Daniel Farson, Lucian Freud, Slim Gaillard, Augustus John, Malcolm Lowry, and John Mortimer.
The name was changed to The French House after the fire at York Minster in 1984. Contributions toward the restoration fund started arriving at the pub. Upon forwarding them, Gaston Berlemont found that the cathedral had been receiving deliveries of claret intended for him.
In recent years, landlady Lesley Lewis has encouraged Soho photographers to exhibit in the pub with regular contributions from John Claridge, William Corbett, Carla Borel and Peter Clark
and members of illustrators' collective, Le Gun. Claridge based his Soho Faces project at the French from 2004 to 2017. He said, I decided to document the customers at The French in earnest. For me, it was the one place in Soho that still held its Bohemian character, where people truly chose to share time and conversation

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M108AP - In London, the Greyfriars was a Conventual Franciscan friary that existed from 1225 to 1538 on a site at the North-West of the City of London by Newgate in the parish of St Nicholas in the Shambles. It was the second Franciscan religious house to be founded in the country. The establishment included a conventual church that was one of the largest in London
a studium or regional university
and an extensive library of logical and theological texts. It was an important intellectual centre in the early fourteenth century, rivalled only by Oxford University in status. Members of the community at that time included William of Ockham, Walter Chatton and Adam Wodeham. It flourished in the fourteenth and fifteenth century but was dissolved in 1538 at the instigation of Henry VIII as part of the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Christ's Hospital was founded in the old conventual buildings, and the church was rebuilt completely by Sir Christopher Wren as Christ Church Greyfriars after the original church was almost completely destroyed in the Great Fire of London of 1666. The building now standing on the site, designed by Arup Group Limited, is currently occupied by Merrill Lynch.
It was named after the friars' practice of wearing grey habits.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M108BJ - Erected to commemorate Christ's Hospital School's 350 year presence in the City of London, from 1552 to 1902. The sculpture is designed to curve gently, reflecting the care and support provided to children, who flow from the youngest entering the school to confident adolescents marching boldly into their futures. The back of the sculpture features a verse written about Christ's Hospital by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who was a pupil from 1781 to 1791, along with a copper plate drawing of the Priory buildings at the time the school first occupied the site in 1552. The sculpture gives life to the essence of the school and its charitable mission to educate children in particular need, regardless of means. The famous Tudor uniform and marching depicted in the piece are synonymous with Christ's Hospital today.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4640150713 - 'Carnaby Street is a pedestrianised shopping street in Soho in the City of Westminster, Central London. Close to Oxford Street and Regent Street, it is home to fashion and lifestyle retailers, including a large number of independent fashion boutiques.
Streets crossing, or meeting with, Carnaby Street are, from south to north, Beak Street, Broadwick Street, Kingly Court, Ganton Street, Marlborough Court, Lowndes Court, Fouberts Place, Little Marlborough Street and Great Marlborough Street. The nearest London Underground station is Oxford Circus (on the Bakerloo, Central and Victoria lines).
Carnaby Street derives its name from Karnaby House, which was built in 1683 to the east. The origin of the name is unknown. The street was probably laid out in 1685 or 1686. First appearing in the ratebooks in 1687, it was almost completely built up by 1690 with small houses. A market was developed in the 1820s. In his novel, Sybil (1845), Benjamin Disraeli refers to 'a carcase-butcher famous in Carnaby-market'.
This area is notable for a cholera outbreak in 1854 leading to an early application of fundamental epidemiological principles to resolve the crisis. John Snow, the physician who recognised the cases were concentrated near a pump on Broad Street communicated the finding on a map-based graphic. It led to the pump being locked and the reduction in cases of cholera was rapid.
In 1934, Amy Ashwood Garvey and Sam Manning opened the Florence Mills Social Club, a jazz club that became a gathering place for supporters of Pan-Africanism, at number 50.
The first boutique, His Clothes, was opened by John Stephen in 1957 after his shop in Beak Street burned down and was followed by I Was Lord Kitchener's Valet, Gear, Lady Jane, Mates, Ravel, and others. Round the corner in Kingly Street, Tommy Roberts opened his gift shop Kleptomania. He moved to Carnaby Street in 1967 and went on to make fame in the King's Road, Chelsea, with his Mr Freedom shop.
By the 1960s, Carnaby Street was popular with followers of the mod and hippie styles. Many independent fashion boutiques such as Ariella,and designers such as Mary Quant, Marion Foale and Sally Tuffin, Lord John, Merc, Take Six, and Irvine Sellars had premises in the street and various underground music bars such as the Roaring Twenties opened in the surrounding streets. Bands such as the Small Faces, The Who, and The Rolling Stones appeared in the area to work (at the legendary Marquee Club round the corner in Wardour Street), shop, and socialise, it became one of the coolest destinations associated with 1960's Swinging London.
The Carnaby Street contingent of Swinging London stormed into North American and international awareness with the 15 April 1966 publication of Time magazine's cover and article that extolled this street's role:
\u201cPerhaps nothing illustrates the new swinging London better than narrow, three-block-long Carnaby Street, which is crammed with a cluster of the 'gear' boutiques where the girls and boys buy each other clothing...\u201d
In October 1973, the Greater London Council pedestrianised the street. Vehicular access is restricted between 11 am and 8 pm. A comparison of before and after number of pedestrians entering the area indicated a 30% increase in pedestrian flows as a result of the pedestrianisation. A campaign commenced early in 2010 to call for pedestrianisation in the adjacent area of Soho.
Westminster City Council erected two green plaques, one at 1 Carnaby Street dedicated to fashion entrepreneur John Stephen, who began the Mod fashion revolution and another at 52/55 Carnaby Street is dedicated to the Mod pop group The Small Faces and their manager Don Arden.
To celebrate the memory of Freddie Mercury after the release of Bohemian Rhapsody, the Carnaby Street arch is getting a rework with Queen's logo being put up until early 2019. Despite John Stephen closing his final buisness in 1975 (he died in 2004 aged 70) and the gradual movement to novelty shops with appeal to the ever increasing tourist trade, the boutique trade founded in Carnaby street in 1957 by John Stephen is still visable through the many shops of that ilk that still exist in the street today . Although featured in many books about London, the only book published which is exclusively about 'Carnaby Street' and traces the history from the 1600s to 1970 is simply entitled 'Carnaby Street' and was written by Tom Salter in 1970. A few mainstream stores including 'Boots The Chemists' are currently in the street.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RMJ3BA - A GRADE II LISTED VICTORIAN GEM
Dating back to 1868, our ornate Victorian pub boasts one of London's finest pub interiors. As you explore, look out for the original features, including mirrored walls and decorative ceilings.
During the Victorian era, the bar was divided up to keep the social classes apart. Today, the beautiful etched glass partitions are purely decorative, and everyone is welcome!
We're named after the second Duke of Argyll, who once owned the land we stand on today. He also had a mansion close by and, rumour has it, there was once a secret tunnel connecting the pub to the Duke's mansion. It gives a new meaning to sneaking out for a quick drink

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEJ6DY - Camden Town often shortened to Camden (ambiguously also used for the much larger London Borough of Camden of which it is the central neighbourhood), is an inner city district of northwest London, 2.4 miles (3.9 km) north of the centre of London. It is one of the 35 major centres identified in the London Plan.
Laid out as a residential district from 1791 and originally part of the manor of Kentish Town and the parish of St Pancras, London, Camden Town became an important location during the early development of the railways, which reinforced its position on the London canal network. The area's industrial economic base has been replaced by service industries such as retail, tourism and entertainment. The area now hosts street markets and music venues which are strongly associated with alternative culture.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEJ6K3 - The Black Friar Pub. Post-1903 work by Herbert Fuller-Clark (b.1869, d. after 1912). Original building 1875. Remodelled in several stages beginning 1903, 1914, and 1925. 174 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4. Individual sculptures by Nathaniel Hitch, Frederick Callcott, Henry Poole, and Farmer and Brindley. According to Philip Ward-Jackson,
Hitch was responsible for the stonework grotesques on the exterior, and for a considerable amount of similar work in wood in the interior. Callcott created the pattern for the larger copper relief scenes, representing the day to day activities of the friars. . . . It seems probable that Callcott went on working on those reliefs until shortly before his death in 1925, when the rather more prestigious Henry Poole took over, to produce the relief work in the Small Saloon Bar. One of Callcott's frieze-like panels, entitled Saturday Afternoon, was to be repeated on the screen wall, separating the Luncheon Bar from the Small Saloon Bar, although it looks quite different in its new form, because the figures are much more widely spaced out, and the coloured marbles in the second rendering give it more depth.
Of these artists, Hitch (1841-1935), deserves to be better known. Following an apprenticeship to Farmer and Brindley, he had a very long and distinguished career as a sculptor: his work can be found at Cardiff Castle, suggesting that he was probably a member of William Burges's workforce there, and also in many churches and cathedrals including Truro Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. He was particularly associated with the architects W. D. Car??e and J. L. Pearson.
It is worth noting that the popular London Encyclopaedia disagrees about the dates and artists involved here, stating simply that the building was erected in 1875, the ground floor being remodelled in 1905 by H. Fuller Clark. The outside is covered with mosaics and carved figures by Henry Poole (1903).

Callcott created the pattern for the larger copper relief scenes, representing the day to day activities of the friars. . . . It seems probable that Callcott went on working on those reliefs until shortly before his death in 1925, when the rather more prestigious Henry Poole took over, to produce the relief work in the Small Saloon Bar. One of Callcott's frieze-like panels, entitled Saturday Afternoon, was to be repeated on the screen wall, separating the Luncheon Bar from the Small Saloon Bar, although it looks quite different in its new form, because the figures are much more widely spaced out, and the coloured marbles in the second rendering give it more depth.
Of these artists, Hitch (1841-1935), deserves to be better known. Following an apprenticeship to Farmer and Brindley, he had a very long and distinguished career as a sculptor: his work can be found at Cardiff Castle, suggesting that he was probably a member of William Burges's workforce there, and also in many churches and cathedrals including Truro Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. He was particularly associated with the architects W. D. Car??e and J. L. Pearson.
It is worth noting that the popular London Encyclopaedia disagrees about the dates and artists involved here, stating simply that the building was erected in 1875, the ground floor being remodelled in 1905 by H. Fuller Clark. The outside is covered with mosaics and carved figures by Henry Poole (1903).

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JGXP0E - Santander Cycles (formerly Barclays Cycle Hire) is a public bicycle hire scheme in London in the United Kingdom. The scheme's bicycles are popularly known as Boris Bikes, after Boris Johnson who was Mayor of London when the scheme began operating.
The operation of the scheme was initially contracted by Transport for London (TfL) to Serco. Bikes and docking stations are provided by 8D Technologies. The scheme is sponsored, with Santander UK being the main sponsor from April 2015. Barclays Bank was the first sponsor, from 2010 to March 2015.
Credit for developing and enacting the scheme has been a source of debate. Johnson has taken credit for the plan, although the initial concept was announced by his predecessor Ken Livingstone, during the latter's term in office. Livingstone said that the programme would herald a cycling and walking transformation in London and Johnson said that he hoped the bikes would become as common as black cabs and red buses in the capital.
A study showed cyclists using the scheme are three times less likely to be injured per trip than cyclists in London as a whole, possibly due to motorists giving cycle hire users more road space than they do other cyclists, although trips by hire bike users seemed to be much shorter on average. Customer research in 2013 showed that 49 per cent of Cycle Hire members say that the scheme has prompted them to start cycling in London.
As of July 2022, more than 111.2 million journeys had been made using the cycles, with the record for cycle hires in a single day being 73,000.
In October 2022, TfL introduced new e-bikes to the scheme, the first docked e-bikes in London

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H552FP - Southwark Cathedral or The Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Saviour and St Mary Overie, Southwark, London, lies on the south bank of the River Thames close to London Bridge. It is the mother church of the Anglican Diocese of Southwark. It has been a place of Christian worship for more than 1,000 years, but a cathedral only since the creation of the diocese of Southwark in 1905.
Between 1106 and 1538 it was the church of an Augustinian priory, Southwark Priory, dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Following the dissolution of the monasteries, it became a parish church, with the new dedication of St Saviour's. The church was in the diocese of Winchester until 1877, when the parish of St Saviour's, along with other South London parishes, was transferred to the diocese of Rochester. The present building retains the basic form of the Gothic structure built between 1220 and 1420, although the nave is a late 19th-century reconstruction.
There is a large stained glass window dedicated to William Shakespeare, depicting scenes from his plays, at the base of which is an alabaster statue representing the playwright reclining, holding a quill.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EC2T0P - The Church of the Nazarene is an international Cgurch which began in Britain, Canada and the United States of America (USA). Eleven small denominations, all sharing the Wesleyan heritage, came together in a series of unions between 1896 and 1958. One of those unions in 1908 is taken as the official beginning of the Church.
Of the eleven denominations, three were British. The first of these, a group in Scotland led by Rev. George Sharpe, joined in 1915. This was followed by two other groups in England, one led by Mr. David Thomas of london, the other led by Rev. Maynard G. James which headquarters in Lancashire, which united in 1952 and 1955.
THE MISSION OF THE CHURCH:
The Wesleyan Rivival that saved eighteenth century England from Revolution reaffirmed the testimaony and experience of the Early Church that God is ableto forgive man's sin and cleanse his heart from all unrighteousness (1John 1:9).
The mission of the church is, To make Christlike disciples in the nations. The Church of the |Nazarene seeks to share the love of God and the good news about Jesus Christ, and to demonstrate concern for the whole person by ministering to the Spiritual, Mental, Social and Physical.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AGMNYK - The British Library is the national library of the United Kingdom and the largest library in the world by number of items catalogued. It is estimated to contain 170?200 million+ items from many countries. As a legal deposit library, the British Library receives copies of all books produced in the United Kingdom and Ireland, including a significant proportion of overseas titles distributed in the UK. The Library is a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
The British Library is a major research library, with items in many languages and in many formats, both print and digital: books, manuscripts, journals, newspapers, magazines, sound and music recordings, videos, play-scripts, patents, databases, maps, stamps, prints, drawings. The Library's collections include around 14 million books,[10] along with substantial holdings of manuscripts and historical items dating back as far as 2000 BC. In addition to receiving a copy of every publication produced in the UK and Ireland (approximately 8,000 per day), the Library has a programme for content acquisitions. The Library adds some three million items every year occupying 9.6 kilometres (6.0 mi) of new shelf space. There is space in the library for over 1,200 readers.
Prior to 1973, the Library was part of the British Museum. The British Library Act 1972 detached the library department from the museum, but it continued to host the now separated British Library in the same Reading Room and building as the museum until 1997. The Library is now located in a purpose-built building on the north side of Euston Road in St Pancras, London (between Euston railway station and St Pancras railway station), and has a document storage centre and reading room near Boston Spa, near Wetherby in West Yorkshire. The St Pancras building was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 25 June 1998, and is classified as a Grade I listed building of exceptional interest for its architecture.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DJ7B0D - Clapham Junction railway station is near St John's Hill in the south-west of Battersea in the London Borough of Wandsworth. Although it is in Battersea, the area around the station is commonly identified as Clapham Junction.
Many routes from London's two busiest termini, London Waterloo and London Victoria, funnel through the station making it one of the busiest in Europe by number of trains using it, more than one hundred an hour outside peak periods.
Each day about 2,000 trains, most stopping, pass through the station, more than through any other station in Europe.[5] At peak times 180 trains per hour pass through of which 117 stop. It is not the busiest station by number of passengers, most of whom (about 430,000 on a weekday, of which 135,000 are at rush hours) pass through. Interchanges make some 40% of the activity and on that basis too it is the busiest station in the UK.[6]
In 2011, the station had three entrances, all with staffed ticket offices, though only the south-east entrance is open 24 hours a day. The most heavily used of the three, this leads from St John's Hill via a small indoor shopping centre, into a subway some 15 ft (4.6 m) wide that connects to the eastern ends of all platforms.
The north entrance, which has restricted opening hours, leads from Grant Road to the same subway. The subway is crowded during rush hours, with the ticket barriers at the ends are pinch points.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCE75X - More London, part of an area known as London Bridge City, is a development on the south bank of the River Thames, immediately south-west of Tower Bridge in London. It is owned by the Kuwaiti sovereign wealth fund.
It includes the City Hall, a sunken amphitheatre called The Scoop, office blocks, shops, restaurants, cafes, and a pedestrianized area containing open-air sculptures and fountains lit by coloured lights. The Hilton London Tower Bridge hotel opened in September 2006.

More London is 13 acres (53,000 m2) in size and has planning consent for 3,000,000 square feet (280,000 m2) of mixed use space, of which up to two million square feet will be offices, accommodating up to 20,000 people. The buildings were designed by Foster and Partners architects. The buildings are known as 1 & 6 More London Place, and 2, 3, 4 and 7 More London Riverside. The public area, which includes The Scoop, a fountain and planting areas, was designed by Townshend Landscape Architects.
There are frequently outdoor exhibitions and cultural events in More London. For most of 2005 there was a popular open-air exhibition of large environmental photographs called Earth from the Air.
In 2007, the development was shortlisted for the Carbuncle Cup architecture prize, an annual competition by Building Design for the ugliest building in the United Kingdom completed in the last 12 months.
The ten-storey '7 More London' office building in the new London project 'More London' next to Tower Bridge has achieved the internationally renowned Breeam 'Outstanding' rating for particularly sustainable technical building design.
The use of renewable energies and the energetically optimised glass facade keep carbon dioxide emissions low. The glass coating reduces office temperatures in summer

It is a 200-acre (81 ha) mixed-use property development site on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal in Salford and Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The project is being developed by Peel Media, and its principal tenants are media organisations and the University of Salford. The land occupied by the development was part of the Port of Manchester and Manchester Docks.
The BBC signalled its intention to move jobs to Manchester in 2004, and the Salford Quays site was chosen in 2006. The Peel Group was granted planning permission to develop the site in 2007, and construction of the development, with its own energy generation plant and communications network, began the same year. Based in Quay House, the principal tenant is the BBC, whose move marks a large-scale decentralisation from London. BBC Children's, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Research and BBC Sport are among the departments which have relocated to the development. ITV Granada completed the first phase of its move to MediaCityUK in March 2013. The Studios on Broadway house seven high-definition studios, claimed to be the largest such facility in Europe.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RM9AT1 - City Hall is the headquarters of the Greater London Authority (GLA), which comprises the Mayor of London and the London Assembly. It is located in Southwark, on the south bank of the River Thames near Tower Bridge. It was designed by Norman Foster and opened in July 2002, two years after the Greater London Authority was created.
For the first two years of its existence, the Greater London Authority was based at Romney House, Marsham Street in Westminster. Meetings of the London Assembly took place at Emmanuel Centre, also on Marsham Street.
City Hall was constructed at a cost of ?43 million on a site formerly occupied by wharves serving the Pool of London. The building does not belong to the GLA but is leased under a 25-year rent. Despite its name, City Hall is not in and does not serve a city (according to UK law), which often adds to the confusion of Greater London with the City of London, which has its headquarters at Guildhall. In June 2011, Mayor Boris Johnson announced that for the duration of the London 2012 Olympic Games, the building would be called London House.
The predecessors of the Greater London Authority, the Greater London Council and the London County Council, had their headquarters at County Hall, upstream on the South Bank. Although County Hall's old council chamber is still intact, the building is unavailable for use by the GLA because of its conversion into, among other things, a luxury hotel, amusement arcade and aquarium.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RM9ATJ - The closest pub to London Bridge tube is also the most down to earth. The OKH, like its more famous neighbour The George Inn, can be found down one of those ancient alleyways that branch like pili from Borough High Street ? look for the hanging sign over the pathway. Inside, the main room looks like it's stuck in some former decade, with glossy paint finishes, peeling picture frames and a good old fashioned bar. You practically have to walk through the bar to get at the stairs, which lead up to a quirky function room with a penchant for Titanic memorabilia. Several groups use the room for monthly meetups, including the rather wonderful South East London Folklore Society. The beer choice is limited, but always well kept.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H2HA2D - The Bank of England, formally the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, is the central bank of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the model on which most modern central banks have been based. Established in 1694, it is the second oldest central bank in operation today, after Sveriges Riksbank. The Bank of England is the world's 8th oldest bank. It was established to act as the English Government's banker and is still one of the bankers for the Government of the United Kingdom. The Bank was privately owned by stockholders from its foundation in 1694 until it was nationalised in 1946.
In 1998, it became an independent public organization, wholly owned by the Treasury Solicitor on behalf of the government, with independence in setting monetary policy.
The Bank is one of eight banks authorised to issue banknotes in the United Kingdom, but it has a monopoly on the issue of banknotes in England and Wales and regulates the issue of banknotes by commercial banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The Bank's Monetary Policy Committee has a devolved responsibility for managing monetary policy. The Treasury has reserve powers to give orders to the committee if they are required in the public interest and by extreme economic circumstances, but such orders must be endorsed by Parliament within 28 days. The Bank's Financial Policy Committee held its first meeting in June 2011 as a macro prudential regulator to oversee regulation of the UK's financial sector.
The Bank's headquarters have been in London's main financial district, the City of London, on Threadneedle Street, since 1734. It is sometimes known by the metonym The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street or The Old Lady, a name taken from the satirical cartoon by James Gillray in 1797. The busy road junction outside is known as Bank junction.
As a regulator and central bank, the Bank of England has not offered consumer banking services for many years.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H2MCP1 - Liverpool Street station, also known as London Liverpool Street, is a central London railway terminus and connected London Underground station in the north-eastern corner of the City of London, in the ward of Bishopsgate. It is one of the busiest railway stations in London, serving as the terminus of the West Anglia Main Line to Cambridge, the busier Great Eastern Main Line to Norwich, local and regional commuter trains serving east London and destinations in the East of England, and the Stansted Express service to Stansted Airport.
The station opened in 1874 as a replacement for Bishopsgate station as the Great Eastern Railway's main London terminus. By 1895 it had the largest number of platforms on any terminal railway station in London. During the First World War, an air raid on the station in 1917 led to 162 deaths. In the build-up to the Second World War, the station served as the entry point for thousands of child refugees arriving in London as part of the Kindertransport rescue mission. The station was damaged by the 1993 Bishopsgate bombing, and during the 7 July 2005 bombing seven passengers were killed when a bomb exploded aboard an Underground train just after it had departed from Liverpool Street.
Liverpool Street was built as a dual-level station with provision for the Underground. A tube station opened in 1875 for the Metropolitan Railway, and the station today is served by the Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines, and is in fare zone 1

Station to Station is the tenth studio album by English musician David Bowie, released by RCA Records in 1976. Commonly regarded as one of his most significant works, Station to Station is also notable as the vehicle for Bowie's last great 'character', The Thin White Duke.
The album was recorded after he completed shooting Nicolas Roeg's The Man Who Fell to Earth, and the cover featured a still from the movie. During the sessions Bowie was heavily dependent on drugs, especially cocaine, and recalls almost nothing of the production.
Musically, Station to Station was a transitional album for Bowie, developing the funk and soul music of his previous release, Young Americans, while presenting a new direction towards synthesisers and motorik rhythms that was influenced by German electronic bands such as Kraftwerk and Neu!.
This trend would culminate in some of his most acclaimed work, the so-called Berlin Trilogy, recorded with Brian Eno in 1977\u201379. Bowie himself has said that Station to Station was 'a plea to come back to Europe for me'. The album\u2019s lyrics, meanwhile, reflected his preoccupations with Nietzsche, Aleister Crowley, mythology and religion.
With its blend of funk and Krautrock, romantic balladry and occultism, Station to Station has been described as 'simultaneously one of Bowie's most accessible albums and his most impenetrable'. Featuring the single 'Golden Years', it made the Top 5 in both the UK and US charts. In 2003, the album was ranked number 323 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
In the early days of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway (L&
MR), the Liverpool terminus was located at Crown Street, in Edge Hill, officially opened in 1830. Construction of a purpose-built station began in October 1833, the land being purchased from Liverpool Corporation for \u00a39000. A tunnel was constructed between Edge Hill and the new station (starting in 1832, prior to station construction), and the station was opened to the public in August 1836, although construction was not completed until the following year.
Because of the steep incline between Lime Street and Edge Hill, trains were stopped at Edge Hill, their locomotives removed, and the passenger carriages taken down by gravity, descent controlled by brakemen. The return journey was achieved by using a stationary engine to haul the carriages up with rope.
Within six years, the rapid growth of the railways meant that the original station needed to be extended, and a plan was made to erect an iron roof similar to that found at Euston station in London, ridge roofs supported by iron columns
however, Richard Turner and William Fairburn submitted a design for a single curved roof, which won the approval of the station committee. The work cost \u00a315,000, and was completed in 1849. A second roof was added in the 1880s.
In 1845 the L&
MR was absorbed by its principal business partner, the Grand Junction Railway (GJR)
the following year the GJR formed part of the London and North Western Railway. The station was one of the first to send mail by train. The North Western Hotel designed by Alfred Waterhouse, was built in front of the station - this still stands, having been converted to accommodation for students of Liverpool John Moores University. At 'the grouping' in 1923, the station passed to the ownership of the London, Midland and Scottish (LMS) railway, and, in 1948, the London Midland Region of British Railways.
Lime Street was part of the first stage of electrification of the West Coast Main Line in 1959. In 1966, the station saw the launch of the first InterCity service.
Lime Street was voted the equal worst of the 20 busiest UK railway stations in a 2007 poll but was voted 'Station of the Year 2010' at the National Rail Awards thanks in part to a recent reburbishment

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DD4HF1 - The Palace of Westminster is the meeting place of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Commonly known as the Houses of Parliament after its occupants, the Palace lies on the north bank of the River Thames in the City of Westminster, in central London, England.
Its name, which is derived from the neighbouring Westminster Abbey, may refer to either of two structures: the Old Palace, a medieval building complex destroyed by fire in 1834, and its replacement, the New Palace that stands today. The palace is owned by the monarch in right of the Crown and for ceremonial purposes, retains its original status as a royal residence. The building is managed by committees appointed by both houses, which report to the Speaker of the House of Commons and the Lord Speaker.
The first royal palace was built on the site in the 11th century, and Westminster was the primary residence of the Kings of England until fire destroyed much of the complex in 1512. After that, it served as the home of the Parliament of England, which had been meeting there since the 13th century, and also as the seat of the Royal Courts of Justice, based in and around Westminster Hall. In 1834, an even greater fire ravaged the heavily rebuilt Houses of Parliament, and the only significant medieval structures to survive were Westminster Hall, the Cloisters of St Stephen's, the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft, and the Jewel Tower.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PP0NNM - Spinningfields is an area of Manchester city centre, in North West England, developed in the 2000s between Deansgate and the River Irwell by Allied London Properties. The ?1.5 billion project consists of 20 buildings, totalling approximately 430,000 m2 (4,600,000 sq ft) of commercial, residential and retail space. It takes its name from Spinningfield, a narrow street which ran westwards from Deansgate. In 1968, Spinningfield and the area to the south were turned into Spinningfield Square, an open paved area. Landmark buildings within the scheme include the Manchester Civil Justice Centre and 1 Spinningfields, a 90 m (300 ft) tall office building.

The proposal to create a central business district originated in 1997 when Allied London purchased a number of buildings around the John Rylands Library. Allied London executive Mike Ingall was convinced of the site's regeneration potential and Manchester City Council was keen to redevelop the city centre after the 1996 Manchester bombing.
The development, named from a narrow street which ran westwards from Deansgate, is bounded by Bridge Street to the north, Quay Street to the south, Deansgate to the east, and the River Irwell to the west. The Financial Times said in 2012 that the development spread over 22 acres (89,000 m2) and contained 3,000,000 sq ft (280,000 m2) of office space.By 2008, many had been completed and others were under construction or in the planning stages.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T35BXW - The Peabody Trust was founded in 1862 as the Peabody Donation Fund and now brands itself simply as Peabody. It is one of London's oldest and largest housing associations with over 100,000 homes across London and the home counties. It is also a community benefit society and urban regeneration agency, with a focus on placemaking, stewardship and a provider of an extensive range of community programmes.
The Trust was founded in 1862 by London-based American banker George Peabody, who in the 1850s had developed a great affection for London, and determined to make a charitable gift to benefit it. His initial ideas included a system of drinking fountains
The Peabody Trust was later constituted by Act of Parliament, stipulating its objectives to work solely within London for the relief of poverty. This was to be expressed through the provision of model dwellings for the capital's poor.
The first block of Peabody dwellings in Commercial Street, Spitalfields. A wood-engraving published in the Illustrated London News in 1863, shortly before the building opened.
The first block, designed by H. A. Darbishire in a red-brick Jacobethan style, opened in Commercial Street, Spitalfields, on 29 February 1864. It cost ?22,000 to build, and contained 57 dwellings (i.e. flats) for the poor, nine shops with accommodation for the shopkeepers, and baths and laundry facilities on the upper floor. Water-closets were grouped in pairs by the staircases, with one shared between every two flats. This first block was followed by larger estates in Islington, Poplar, Shadwell, Chelsea, Westminster, Bermondsey, and elsewhere. By 1882 the Trust housed more than 14,600 people in 3,500 dwellings. By 1939 it owned more than 8,000 dwellings.
In its early days, the Trust imposed strict rules to ensure that its tenants were of good moral character. Rents were to be paid weekly and punctually
there was a night-time curfew and a set of moral standards to be adhered to

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M1F5T4 - Avanti West Coast is a train operating company in the United Kingdom owned by FirstGroup (70%) and Trenitalia (30%) that operates the West Coast Partnership.
During November 2016, the Department for Transport (DfT) announced the InterCity West Coast franchise would be replaced by the West Coast Partnership (WCP). In August 2019, the DfT awarded the WCP franchise to the First Trenitalia consortium. On 8 December 2019, Avanti West Coast took over operations from the prior operating company Virgin Trains, which had run the franchise since 1997. Originally, the franchise was initially scheduled to run until March 2030, and had also been set to operate the initial High Speed 2 services from 2026. However, during December 2020, it was announced that First Trenitalia and the DfT had agreed to terminate the WCP franchise at the earlier date of 31 March 2026 as part of the abolition of the franchise system. Since then a number of contract changes have taken place due to COVID-19 and then poor performance by the company. As of March 2023, the company's contract will expire in October 2023.
Between 14 August and 18 September 2022, Avanti West Coast reduced its timetable, citing unofficial strike action from its employees. However, this allegation was disputed by Aslef, which accused the company of lying and blamed their lack of recruitment, especially of train drivers, for the problems. Trains were running at one service per hour on the majority of routes, as opposed to the three which would typically occur on the London Euston to Manchester Piccadilly route. Following these changes, Avanti West Coast was subject to public criticism
news stories emerged of numerous train cancellations, overcrowded services, delays, and expensive fares. Many commuters faced difficulties reaching their destinations on the reduced services and some travellers have been left to wait for to two days before travel for tickets to be released for sale

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D9MJN4 - The red BBC Breakfast studio at MediaCityUK.
It is a 200-acre (81 ha) mixed-use property development site on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal in Salford and Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The project is being developed by Peel Media, and its principal tenants are media organisations and the University of Salford. The land occupied by the development was part of the Port of Manchester and Manchester Docks.
The BBC signalled its intention to move jobs to Manchester in 2004, and the Salford Quays site was chosen in 2006. The Peel Group was granted planning permission to develop the site in 2007, and construction of the development, with its own energy generation plant and communications network, began the same year. Based in Quay House, the principal tenant is the BBC, whose move marks a large-scale decentralisation from London. BBC Children's, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Research and BBC Sport are among the departments which have relocated to the development. ITV Granada completed the first phase of its move to MediaCityUK in March 2013. The Studios on Broadway house seven high-definition studios, claimed to be the largest such facility in Europe.
