The group is casually dressed, suggesting they might be out for a walk or run. A group of people jogging on a dimly lit street at night. The street is flanked by modern buildings with illuminated storefronts and older, ornate brick buildings. Some pedestrians are also visible in the background. One person is wearing bright pink shoes. A group of people in athletic attire, including leggings and caps, stand outside a building at night, engaging in a conversation. One person faces away from the camera, while others are visible from the front and sides. Some people are wearing layers to keep warm. A group of people, some dressed in Halloween-themed costumes, stand together smiling in front of a blue police box on a nighttime city street. The background includes brightly lit storefronts, including a Pret A Manger restaurant.
