An fascinating exhibition of photographs on this weekend at Somerset House: The Syngenta Photography Award 2013 - Rural:Urban, which aims to raise awareness about the tensions between rural and urban environments, and the impact these issues have on sustainability. It includes photographs from all around the world including one taken a few miles from home in London.

(Thomas Moore)
