Fifteen years ago, London became the scene of widespread riots that spread across England, sparked by the fatal police shooting of Mark Duggan, a 29-year-old man, in Tottenham.
The unrest, which lasted for five days in the summer of 2011, resulted in thousands of shops being looted, with cars and buildings set ablaze. The events marked a period of significant public disorder in the capital and beyond.
The riots began in London following Duggan's death and quickly escalated, drawing national attention to issues of policing and community relations. The scale of the destruction led to a significant police response and subsequent investigations into the causes and impacts of the disturbances.
