standard.co.uk
standard.co.uk is the definitive website for those who live, work and play in the world’s most vibrant city.
New Design and Navigation
The redesigned standard.co.uk website is now built around the news stories that mean most to Londoners. Whilst the site will still offer in depth coverage of major UK and World news stories, the focus is on City Hall and other local topics of specific interest in the capital. Business coverage will now focus on the City of London, whilst sport’s stories will be dominated by inside news from London’s major sporting teams and events.
