“Beautiful, and a little disturbing..”  Radiohead, Dead Air Space

“These powerful images prompt us to consider everything that is at stake – the things we value, the things we take for granted – and call us to work towards a very different future.”  Yvo de Boer, KPMG, Special Global Advisor on Climate Change and Sustainability

“If climate change proceeds as the good scientists say then London could become the holiday centre for Europe and the world: warm summers not torrid heat and fresh food in good supply from its cool wet western counties.” James Lovelock

“The works of Robert Graves and Didier Madoc-Jones are witty, elegant and provocative. They are timely reminders of the threats to our planet, our lifestyle and survival.” Norman Foster

“We could have stopped it! ” Vivienne Westwood

“In the crush of events in 2011, climate change keeps getting pushed to the back of the queue – revolutions, double dip recessions, oil shocks and even earthquakes all vie for attention and demand a response. But the reality is that climate change will weaken our resilience to all these events – natural and man-made. These images remind us that we face a fundamental transformation. Huge change is coming -and in many ways is already upon us. The choice we still have is to engage with that transformation with a sense of purpose and possibility.”  Charlie Kronick, Senior Climate Advisor Greenpeace UK

“We tend to see the future as a continuation of the present. It never is. Today more than ever we can imagine a variety of good and bad futures. Here is a lively portraiture of some of them. They don’t have to happen. The choice is – mostly – ours.” Sir Crispin Tickell, Director of the Policy Foresight Programme, Oxford University

“Exhibitions like these open our eyes to the future.” Jack Lohman, Director, Museum of London

This view across Parliament Square shows paddy fields running up to the walls of the Palace of Westminster. The land that once housed political protest is now part of the city’s food production effort.

In this scenario London has adapted to rising water tables in radical ways. Managed flooding is now the name of the game, as is self-sufficiency in food. Central London is a network of rice paddies – and Londoners’ diet is largely rice-based.

The river remains a focus of power generation, just as it was for the great coal-powered power stations of old.  Around the old Thames Barrier a number of new tidal power stations are using the tidal flows up and down the Thames to generate electricity for thousands of London businesses and homes.

The iconic City office tower is now high-rise housing. Originally converted into luxury flats, the block soon slid down the social scale to become a high-density, multi-occupation tower block. The Gherkin now worries the authorities as a potential slum.

Refugees from equatorial lands have moved north in search of food. They make their homes in the buildings that once drove world finance – before the collapse of the global economy.

As the Gulf Stream slows a mini ice-age brings temporary relief to heat-weary Londoners. Winter skating becomes London’s most popular sport and Tower Bridge is a favourite spot.

The scene harks back to the 17th century when artists loved to paint London’s Frost Fairs. Then, the Thames froze over because the river flowed sluggishly. Now, the river flows quickly but every winter the temperature falls to new lows.

The sunset over Kew Gardens catches London’s brand new nuclear power station on the banks of the Thames.

Nuclear power is now widely accepted as the only viable alternative to fossil fuels. Expert opinion confirms that new power stations are best located near the populations they serve and architects strive to create new ‘harmonious’ landmarks. This is nothing new for London, which has a tradition of siting its power stations in its middle: Battersea, for example.

The climate refugee crisis reaches epic proportions. The vast shanty town that stretches across London’s centre leaves historic buildings marooned, including Buckingham Palace.

The Royal family is surrounded in their London home. Everybody is on the move and the flooded city centre is now uninhabitable and empty – apart from the thousands of shanty-dwellers. But should empty buildings and land be opened up to climate refugees?

Nelson looks down on a shanty town of climate refugees. As the equatorial belt becomes uninhabitable, so people are driven north in search of food and security. People settle wherever they can and many reach London.

This is the political dilemma of the day for all European countries. The numbers are overwhelming. London’s strategy is to cluster the new arrivals in the historic centre, rather than spread them through the suburbs, where most Londoners now live.

Traditional rituals have altered beyond recognition, along with the climate. Here, on Horse Guards Parade, horses have been replaced by camels – animals that can withstand the heat of the parade ground. The change was controversial but the London Tourist Board argued strongly in favour. Tourism remains important for London’s economy.

London has become uninhabitable. Every year spring tides surge through the Thames Barrier, making London the new Venice. But whereas the city of gondolas has come to terms with water, London is overwhelmed.

This image shows the impact of 7 metre flooding, the level required to breach the Thames Barrier.
