Advantages: Full of information, great for the commuter

Disadvantages: Gossip column is dull and sometimes it has an agenda

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, Paris Hilton and a few others evenings out, there are sections reviewing films and theatre, sections reviewing restaurants and bars and clubs.

There are sections for dating, tv guides, adverts, cartoons, sport and business news. Its free and its well presented, much better presented than its rival 'The London Paper' although not always as strong journalistically. Its a welcome addition for commuters and helps make the journey home that bit quicker and more interesting. My favourite sections are the restaurant reviews which are honest, thorough and based on people with budgets and the sports section which is only 3 pages long but covers an awful lot relating to London sport within it.

Summary: Very good free paper
