Half an hour after sunrise, before the City fills. Leadenhall and Lime Street with nobody in them.

The exposed steel ducts and service pods of the Lloyd's building.
Looking up into the ornate glazed roof of Leadenhall Market.
A red and gold shopfront in the empty market arcade.
The Lloyd's building rising behind a classical stone facade.
A man leaning against a stone column outside a café in the early morning.
Glass towers of the City seen from street level against open sky.
