Question of the week: What are some of the essential London resources that you use? "One of the best ways of keeping your finger on the pulse of London and knowing what's going on day-by-day is to pick up copies of the three "freebie" London newspapers that appear Monday to Friday. London's free morning newspaper is called "The Metro" and can be picked up inside any tube station. It has decent coverage of the national and international news and has fascinating sections on science and travel. In the evenings, at most major intersections of the city, you'll encounter people trying to force copies into your hand of London's two free evening newspapers: London Lite and theLondonpaper. These papers have only superficial news coverage, but are a great way of keeping up to date with the activities of celebrities in London. Most importantly, though, all three free newspapers have good listings sections and reviews on music, theatre, comedy, clubbing, etc in London. And on tubes and buses you'll see that reading these newspapers is the main way that Londoners pass their time while commuting to and from work!"

(PS from Miss Alice - theLondonpaper is scheduled to cease publication on the 18th September, so grab one while you still can.)
