London Lite

I picked up tonight's copy of the Lite, quite by chance, from a seat in Holborn underground station. It was looking sad and abandoned, so I picked it up. I've not read the Lite for about a week, this mainly being due to my discovery of dooyoo. Since that fateful day my tube journeys have been mostly taken up by writing. For some unknown reason I've found that on the tube, I can write. Nowhere else, just on the tube. Why such horrific conditions should work for me, I have no idea. Anyway, my sorry little Lite was waiting. I picked it up. Had a little scan. It was warm and familiar. I squeezed myself onto the already heaving tube and attempted to do that ...  Read the complete review

Back in the day, The Metro used to be the only free paper around for commuters into London until about 2 years ago (August 2006) when the London Lite was born. This has now become my favourite commuter paper. The London Lite is the sister paper of The Metro, both owned by Associated Newspapers, the same media group that owns the Daily Mail. The London Lite is an afternoon/evening free paper that most people get on their commute home. Like the Metro it can be found outside most tube stations and high commuter areas in London. It is printed from Monday to Friday. What I like about the London Lite is that it is a bit more geared towards life in London ...  Read the complete review

The London Lite is a free London newspaper circulated in all zones of the capital after midday. It is owned by the same people as the Evening Standard and is pretty much a Lite version of the Standard. It can be picked up from little trollies, is handed out by an army of paper people all around London or found on any bus or tube station sat waiting for someone to read it. The paper deals with the issues of the day but also has some really good sections, it has small sections for newsbites, covers the events bothering London in detail and world news slightly less. The gossip section is pointless and seems devoted to Jaime Winstone, Lily Allen, ...  Read the complete review

London Lite - A lite fun filled ink free entertainer -------------------------------------------------------------- My office is in central London and I often pick a London Lite on my way back home. You can get your free copy across all zone one tube stations every evening in weekdays. What is so good? --------------------- 1. The newspaper is a tiny little tabloid size package for variety of news and gossip. To me it covers all essential sections to keep me glued to it through your tube journey or bus travel 2. I personally like message board page written by various readers which talk about contemporary problems and ...  Read the complete review

A few years ago there were no free newspapers in London. One would buy a copy of the evening standard for around 40p. However recently in London several free newspapers are distrubuted. Anyone who walks down the streets of Central London will see people dressed in London Lite t-shirts waving newspapers in front of anyone who passes by. In areas with high traffic such as Oxford Street this can be a problem. Streets are already over capacity, the last thing needed is three people blocking a busy street handing out newspapers. On to the newspaper itself, London Lite is free but the content doesn't compare to that of a newspaper that one pays for. The style ...  Read the complete review
