Listen here on your chosen podcast platform.

The father of Stephen Lawrence has spoken of his son’s legacy and the family’s enduring heartbreak ahead of what would have been the teenager’s 50th birthday.

Stephen, a black 18-year-old aspiring architect, was stabbed to death in a racist attack by a group of young white men in April 1993, in Eltham, south London.

Evening Standard crime correspondent Anthony France has interviewed Dr Neville Lawrence, who told our journalist the world was robbed of a “special” young man “who loved people for who they are” as he told of son’s hope to design the capital’s future skyscrapers.

In part two, the world’s biggest style brands showcase their collections alongside the capital’s independent designers at the 40th anniversary of London Fashion Week.

Evening Standard Joe Bromley discusses spring/summer 2025 collections appearing at venues around London.
