Love in London: We went from punks to lifelong partners
London is a city of nine million people, and love blooms all across the capital.
Every week Salma El-Wardany speaks to a different London couple about their love story. How they met, where, when, and what it all means to them - and we'll also hear some music they've chosen that's been important to their relationship.
This week, Salma meets Jane and Stephen who met in the 1970s when London was a very different place. They were two punks - rebellious souls who were brought together by their anti-establishment views, but in the end bound together by a very established tradition - marriage. What started out as two people waiting outside the chip shop for their friends, ended up in 45 years of marriage.
