Over the years have won tickets to a top West-End play called Man & Boy starring one of the Suchet brothers, an England Managers book worth about £15, fabulous comedy show last Christmas at La Scala in King's Cross (can't remember the artist) but even a Daily Mail reader like me found it funny. I did win tickets to a champagne reception, concert and tour of Kenwood House on Hampstead Heath at a charity event attended by the then Mayor of Camden, Jonathan Simpson. Apart from the fact that the live Soul music was too mournful for me and the Mayor was rude to Simon and I (I've never voted Labour anyway) it was lovely to be in The Orangery of Kenwood House and have a tour round. I've had a free lunch from The Camden New Journal but it loses one star as it's so left wing.

New Journal Enterprises publish three weekly free newspapers in London; Camden New Journal (The…read moreCNJ) which covers The London Borough of Camden, West End Extra for The City of Westminster and Islington Tribune for The London Borough of Islington. New Journal Enterprises is London's only remaining independent newspaper publisher (all the others are now part of large media organisations) and this is probably down to the fact they they are more interested in running good quality local newspapers rather than making huge profits, for this reason they are well respected not just by residents that read their local papers, but also by the newspaper industry and have won many awards over the years. The Camden New Journal was launched in the 1982 by Paul Foot, Frank Dobson and Eric Gordon and has been going strong ever since. I feel so lucky to live in an area that is covered by such a brilliant local newspaper and it's free!

I recently discovered Fitzrovia News after a friend gave me a copy. I was amazed to find out it is…read morewritten entirely by volunteers and people who live in Fitzrovia. What I like about the paper is that it doesn't pull its punches yet at the same time caters for a wider variety of tastes. It's one of the few community papers that takes a firm stance on things that matter to people living in central London. The paper has interviews with local celebrities, analysis of local political issues. It's not afraid to have a go at big business. It doesn't moan about them. It attacks them! The letters' page is full of opinions about anything and everything in Fitzrovia. If you live, work in or visit Fitzrovia, it's essential reading.

The Guardian is part of this media group. The Guardian is a British daily newspaper. It was founded…read morein Manchester in 1821 as The Manchester Guardian. The name was changed to The Guardian in 1959 when they then moved to their headquarters in London. Whether you agree or disagree with the views of the press is up to you. I love historic media of any kind. This newspaper was geared towards the working class. I've definitely grown up in a working class environment and appreciate the struggle that this daily newspaper brings to the forefront. There's no doubt it's the most popular newspaper in the UK with millions of readers. Your time is valuable so what you spend your time reading is important. A favorite tag line is "The More You Know ". I find it educational to read different points of view in other countries. Four Stars for The Guardian.

I've come across reviews for people's favourite bus routes before but seeing there's some for…read morenewspapers comes as a bit of a surprise ... As it happens I am a long standing fan of the Guardian, it still seems more independent than many other newspapers around and has mastered the transition from pure printed format to digital. You obviously pick a read that aligns with your underlying belief system rather than one that makes you choke on your breakfast. I only buy the Saturday edition these days which has become thinner as it has become more expensive - three quid for a newspaper!?! Still, I try and read most of it and feel I still get decent value for money. The colour supplement is a favourite and beats most Sunday papers' magazines. But there's so much more to the Guardian these days. I have been to some amazing talks and panel discussions at their offices that add a real life grounding to current topics. There is a sense of community you don't generally get with a media outlet.

When I lived out at Coed Hills Rural Artspace last year, I called on them again to help spread the word about a fundraising event to be held at this 'not for profit' organisation. As always, they came up with the goods, even though they had undergone a series of regional rationalisations and were down to a skeletal staff in the provinces of South West England and Wales. Everyone I have ever dealt with at Metro has been more than gracious... they are downright, upstanding, lovely people! Over the last couple of years I have relied very much on a chap called Velmir, and never a more professional and all-round good guy there was. He used to be based at the address in Bristol below, but I've just done a search on the internet to see if these offices are still around... nothing came up! Velmir, if you are still out there, i send you my very best! So! What of Metro? What can I say? It's free. It's exceptionally well informed, and it's daily. It features loads of stuff that's of real interest, and as well as being colourful it's really well laid out... Best of all, their listings are always on the money! The only thing is, I have no idea how they do it! Clearly they deploy some kind of magic! METRO Bristol News & Media Temple Way Bristol BS99 7HD

The always have light hearted articles running throughout. There are celebrity pages on in the inside, sports pages at the back, readers comments, travel updates and holiday ads on the back pages. The main reason I pick up the Metro is down to Nemi, Nemi is fantastic, it is my favorite comic strip (next to Snoopy) she is really funny. On the same page as Nemi you will get some cool games to play if you are bored on the train :) You can pick up the train at pretty much every tube station in London, normally these run out in the morning so be quick :P As Coralia mentioned an E version is available, if you have an iphone, it is available for download. Note: the ink does rub off on your hands :( rubber gloves might help stop that though or the E version ;) After you have read your paper you can do many things with it, you can keep your hair dry if it suddenly starts to rain by placing the paper on your head, you can make some paper aeroplanes, you can use it as a pee mat for your dog or alternatively you can put it in the recycle bin at work :)

i'm really sorry for yelping about this ten days late!!!…read moredidn't strike me at that time to yelp about it at all!! my bad! anyway, they were giving away green and black's organic easter eggs (maya gold) - 180g, apparently worth 5.99, for free with your purchase of the evening standard. i was initially told by a colleague about it but did not dash out to grab my copy of it. after all, it's only the evening standard. it was only on my return from lunch and exiting from the tube station at gloucester rd that i chanced upon the offer. 50p for the egg and paper??? a no brainer if you ask me!:) it was only later that i found out i've been ripped off! if you showed your oyster card, you get the evening standard at only 25p!!!!!!!!!LOL nonetheless, do look out for the evening standard next year, around easter time!!!:)

I won a pampering spa day for two at Bannatyne's in Essex somewhere. My Australian friend and I had a three quarters of a hour massage and then were able to use the swimming pool. Next I've won a 'Charming Hotel Stay' in the UK which I will book when my friend is over in the Summer. To top it all I've finally won the Sudoku £50 prize! It's quite difficult the Sudoku in the Standard and there comes a point where I have to start guessing and either it works out correct or it doesn't. But I've finally won it! They lose one star from me because their regular columnists come out with the same old boring Liberal-Left Blairite drivel about how marvellous the EU and diversity is day after day. Time to get a UKIP columnist to spice things up a bit and give some balance instead of the same old cracked records. They are however very good for publishing readers' texts having a go at the health fascists over smoking - they even published one of mine once. I've used the ES to buy shares by looking at the year high and year low values. I haven't made a fortune but I'm up.// Oh I've just upgraded my stars to five for the ES even if it is full of Blairite toss! I've won the most fantastic day of Tennis, hospitallity and a knock around with Pat Cash himself through them and Hackett, Bishopsgate!! Certainly up there with one of the best prizes I've ever won!

Small shop in the entrance to St James's Park tube, under the HQ of London Transport…read more It sells a small selection of drinks, snacks, sandwiches to eat on the go, and a wider selection of greeting cards and gifts. It's your classic 'emergency purchase' location, but the range of cards isn't half bad, actually, and prices seem average for the area - about £2 for a nice birthday card. As you'd expect for somewhere with passing 'tube' trade, service is super quick and efficient (three of us were served in about 8 seconds flat). If you are looking for food and you've a little more time, there are several excellent sandwich shops in the same complex.

This publication is for the 'self-proclaimed' jet set, the globally aware and the aesthetically obsessed, but having said that, I stockpile the issue and indulge myself on the luxurious world of 'how to spend it' and how our global leaders are styling their ethnic hair. There are very few places I can go when I am ever-so curious about pirating off the coast of Somalia and rather a blow by blow, I can find a glossy of Danish Naval officers with shorts and chiselled jaws - tackling modern sea-banditry (tongue in cheek). Truthfully, it is quirky, well - produced and if it came with the lifestyle and the first-class pyjamas I would subscribe but for now I'll pick it up irregularly in an airport.

First there was Wallpaper - now there's Monocle. Both started by the same person - Tyler Brule -…read moreand both distinctly different though equally intriguing. When Wallpaper first hit the newsstands it was an immediate hit. There wasn't anything like it. It was a combination of style, design, travel, art and architecture all wrapped up in one uber-unique large format magazine that actually catered to the masses. Everything about the book oozed style and it was a hit. Brule was an instant celebrity and the magazine helped redefine international style. Brule left and focused on his branding/design firm. He redesigned the look of Swiss International Airlines among other high profile projects and wrote about his endless long haul journeys around the world for what was - and remains - a 'must-read' column in the weekend Financial Times. But two years ago the magazine business was too much for Brule to resist and he once again reinvented it with the publication of Monocle. Published monthly in London but available almost everywhere, Monocle is unlike any magazine on the newsstands today. It's not cheap: $10 an issue but it is like a drug for me and many others style, travel, world affairs obsessed 'jetrosexuals'. It's a little bit of everything and everything they do is exceedingly well done. Monocle has its detractors and so does Brule. His weekly podcast is a unique insight into his view of the world which is more from the Centurion Amex pov than anywhere else. But for jetsetters and jetsetter-wannabes, this is the monthly must-read.
