In the 1940's the American photographer Robert Frank produced his now iconic photographs of the city of London at work.
Some fifty years later photographer Anthony Jones comes to the subject with this series of tightly composed black and white studies which convey a sense of mystery and tension.
Though Anthony's work has been published and exhibited on both sides of the Atlantic, this is the first time it has been exhibited in the square mile and is something of a homecoming.

It's easy to dismiss the Boy's Own adventure world of South Australia's David Bromley as nostalgic, decorative, feel-good art that panders to the eager tastes of the commercial market.
Peer inside the new beachfront mansions springing up along any of Adelaide's coastal esplanades - or at the walls of everything from the city's executive offices to plush hotels and even elite nightclubs - and you are likely to see one of his sun-drenched depictions of childhood moments, sensual gold-leaf nudes or wallpaper-like fields of metallic butterflies and boats.
But behind Bromley's phenomenal international success and his outwardly joyous depictions lies a darker side.
These seemingly innocent works are the cathartic outpourings of a life both marred and fuelled by addictions, masking the artist's own psychological traumas while crying out for a better world.
His latest series of Young Artist paintings depicts boys with paintbrushes in hand, creating replicas of everything from famous nudes to sailing ships.
Bromley, 45, insists he was never the boy in those paintings. "I wish I was - to be that focused, to be that involved.
There's a lot of jealousy going on with these guys," he says.
You would never know it from the confidence in Bromley's own brush marks, as he frantically mixes a specific golden hue and boldly

His paintings are three-dimensional games which have dazzled fans as celebrated as Glenn Close and Oprah Winfrey.
But Patrick Hughes is a bit of a puzzle himself, says Andrew Barrow.
Is he one of our great, neglected artists?
Or merely a dandy Surrealist who has learnt to pull the wool over our eyes?
Anyone strolling down the busy thoroughfare of Great Eastern Street on the edge of the City of London can hardly fail to notice a huge brightly lit ground-floor window in which a skinny, clown-like figure can be seen working on the most peculiar sculptures.
Or are they paintings? And why do these artworks seem to twitch and tremble, duck and dive, as you walk past them?
The brightly dressed man-at-work is a creature called Patrick Hughes and these unstable, sticking-out objects, which now sell for as much as £65,000 each, are his latest and most lucrative invention.
Similar pieces by this prolific oddball now adorn private collections from Chicago to Cologne - including those of Oprah Winfrey and Glenn Close - and can also be goggled at in the British Library, the Birmingham City Art Gallery and other public spaces.
An exhibition of six vast new visual shockers opens at the Flowers East Gallery in London on 20 January.
