The Damilola Taylor Trust was set up by Taylor's parents in his memory, and quotes his writing shortly before his death: “I will travel far and wide to choose my destiny and remould the world, I know it is my destiny to defend the world, which I hope to achieve during my lifetime”

Writer Stephen Kelman was nominated for the 2011 Man Booker Prize for his debut novel Pigeon English, inspired in part by the Taylor incident.
