Advantages: FREE

Disadvantages: Poor quality of content

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 of writing and quality of journalism is poor, comparable to that of the level of writing on dooyoo. Some times I wonder if those employed to write London Lite are paid real wages or maybe they receive miles that can be cashed in for amazon vouchers everytime they submit an article. There's just no real depth to anything written in the London Lite but then again there's nothing interesting to read about going on in London. If you really want to read a London newspaper buy the Evening Standard.

Summary: Buy the evening standard instead
