  Evening Standard - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The Evening Standard is an English tabloid newspaper published and sold in London and surrounding areas.
The paper was launched as the Standard on May 21, 1827 and for a short period during the 1990s it reverted to its original name (some other local newspapers in the UK have also been named "Evening Standard").
Although the Standard (as it is commonly referred to) shares the same Editor in Chief, Paul Dacre, as the Daily Mail it has a quite different style from the latter's "middle England" outlook, having to appeal to a cosmopolitan readership.
