London financial workers wake up to the news that major American investment bank Lehman Brothers has filed for bankruptcy protection, while another U.S. firm Merrill Lynch agreed to be taken over by Bank of America, as the deepening financial crisis hit even larger victims.

Lehman employees in London are seen coming into their Canary Wharf offices, many unaware of what the move means for them.
