5. Pan from town hall sign to Havering town hall, flags flying
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Lawrence Webb, UKIP Councillor:
"There are many, many reasons, not least of which is the cost to us as a council and a country of being members of the EU. But this referendum is about one single issue, and that is sovereignty. It's about who makes the laws that govern our lives although if you speak to ten different people you get ten different reasons why people may be voting out, but that in a nutshell is what it is about. It is about who makes those decisions over our lives."
7. Cutaway of flags flying over town hall
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Lawrence Webb, UKIP Councillor:
"We've been told there is austerity, we must cut back. The one budget, or two budgets that haven't been cut are our membership fee of the EU and foreign aid. Our view is that money should be spent here. So stop giving Brussels a single penny until we sort our own economy out."
9. Wide of market
10. Seafood at fishmonger stand at Havering market
11. SOUNDBITE (English) David Crosby, fishmonger:
"They want to stay in because it's beneficial to them. But that's not even one percent of the population. 90 odd percent of them don't earn like half a million pounds a year in bonuses and all this lark which they can tuck round the corner like in Liechtenstein, Panama, wherever. Normal people like have to go and work for a living and they want to earn their own money."
12. Keep calm and leave the EU sign
13. SOUNDBITE (English) Sukh Singh, works on family stall:
"They (Europeans) come here, and they don't work and they just claim benefits and also they don't give a chance to people who are born here, to English people."
14. SOUNDBITE (English) Jackie Duvall, market researcher:
"If immigration is so wonderful two and two isn't making four. They say they contribute towards the economy, I don't doubt it but and the end of the day, where is the money going? Where are all the extra taxes going? Is it going to hospitals? No. Education, the prison service? It's going nowhere. So, it's a con trick."
London - 17 June 2016
15. Pan of Bank of England
16. Set up of Mark Boleat, policy chairman at City of London Corporation
17. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Boleat, policy chairman at City of London Corporation:
"The City of London's position is that Britain should remain a member of the European Union. We think the European Union has been good for the country generally, very good for financial services, many jobs depend on it, and we think that leaving the European Union will be taking a significant risk. The city would undoubtedly remain a very large international financial centre, but we think it would be smaller than it would be if Britain remained in."
18. Cutaway of Boleat talking
19. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Boleat, policy chairman at City of London Corporation:
"You take investment banking, there are 100,000 jobs roughly in Europe, 90,000 of them in Britain. If Britain is not in the European Union, that ability would be lost. And secondly, is the free movement of labour. The City is very international. You hear almost any language conceivable in the streets of London. The big institutions have no hesitation in bringing in people from France, Germany and Spain, Italy, Romania, Bulgaria and similarly people move from Britain to those countries. If Britain was not in the European Union, that would not be so easy."
20. Pan down from Bank to Royal Exchange sign
21. Set up shot of Amy Wilson 27, Technology Consultant in the City
22. SOUNDBITE (English) Amy Wilson, Technology Consultant in the City:
"I'm strongly 'remain', I think probably most people I know are also strongly 'remain'. I don't know if it seems to me like it's a London thing, it seems more like a generational thing to me."
23. Cutaway of Royal Exchange
24. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Patterson, restaurateur in the City:
"My view is we should remain and have another referendum in five years time when the situation will be much clearer and we will get a decisive result which will last for all time."
25. City workers eating lunch
26. SOUNDBITE (English) James Sylvester, works in IT services in the City:
"It's also the devil you know. It's better to be in and fight rather than to be out and fight. It's an easier way. Path of least resistance."
27. City workers on street
28. SOUNDBITE (English) Richard Wells, works part time as a Broker for Lloyds:
"It's very close for me, 51-49 in favour of Brexit, I have to say. I've done some studies on it. It's going to knock share prices, stock markets, the economy for a bit. I think it's more important as things go to try and get our country back a bit more. I think that's more important to me than it is the economic effect. But it's so close, it's really, really close."
29. Pan down of exchange
When Britain decides this week whether to leave the European Union, London's voice may prove decisive. But for which side?
Britain's capital, home to almost nine million people, encompasses the most pro-EU place of the country, and the least.
In the cosmopolitan City financial district, where almost half a million people from around the globe work in Europe's biggest financial centre, pro-EU sentiment predominates.
But just a few miles away, the borough of Havering, stronghold of working-class East Enders, topped a national survey of the most anti-EU places in Britain.
The two districts represent the opposing views at the heart Britain's EU debate.
One sees the bloc’s free flow of people and money as a benefit. The other sees it as a threat.
Havering, a chunk of suburban Essex county absorbed into Greater London in 1965, is a workaday place of 20th-century houses and strips of shops on busy roads.
Many residents are Cockneys who moved out of London's East End in search of more space and quiet, or their children.
It's not the poorest part of London, nor the area with the most immigrants.
Havering is one of London's least ethnically diverse boroughs - 83 percent of people here identify themselves as "white British," compared to 45 percent in London as a whole.
Almost 90 percent of Havering residents were born in Britain, compared to 63 percent for all of London.
Like other local authorities, Havering Council has had its funding from central government slashed under austerity programmes aimed at reducing the national deficit.
"We've been told there is austerity, we must cut back," said Lawrence Webb, a Havering councillor for the anti-EU UK Independence Party.
While fishmonger David Crosbie, working on a drizzly morning in Havering's Romford street market, is an emphatic "leave" voter.
For Crosbie, the decision has a lot to do with borders, on land and sea.
He says he is tired of European fishermen trawling waters around Britain under the EU's Common Fisheries Policy.
"Remain" campaigners say government austerity is rooted in the 2008 financial crisis and in British politicians' choices, not the EU.
Nonetheless, migrants and the EU often take the blame in Havering, where many people say they do not see the benefits of immigration.
That view is less common in central London and not just in the financial district.
In multiethnic inner-city areas such as Camden and Islington, it's rare to spot a "leave" sign.
Immigration has become the most emotive issue of the campaign for Thursday’s referendum, stirring fears of instability among voters and drawing allegations of xenophobia from "remain" supporters.
The EU is built on the principle that citizens can live and work in any of the 28 member states.
Since the bloc expanded to include former Communist countries in eastern Europe more than a decade ago, hundreds of thousands of people have moved west to Britain and other, wealthier, EU nations.
The perception that EU migrants come to take jobs and, somewhat paradoxically, to live on welfare benefits, is driving "leave" sentiment in Havering and other Eurosceptic areas.
But 15 miles (24 kilometres) to the southwest in the historic heart of financial London, policy chief Mark Boleat argues that thousands of jobs, and London's standing as a financial centre, depend on the EU.
That view is backed by the Economist Intelligence Unit, which said last week that leaving the EU would endanger London's status as a global financial hub, "almost certainly depriving UK-based financial firms of their passport to conduct business anywhere in the EU."
