Metro

I have had many dealings with Metro over the years. I have called on them to publicise events on quite a number of occasions, and they’ve always come through for me, and the organisations I’ve been representing. 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!

The Metro is a great paper. The best thing about it, is that it’s free :) other than it being free, it’s informative, and it always has a quirky story on the 3^rd page. 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 :)

Traveling through London would be so much more trying without the fabulous Metro newspaper to read.
It comes out first thing in the morning and is completely free. You’ll find it in designated piles in all zone 1 & 2 tube stations, and main rail stations throughout London.
It is specifically written for Londoners. The style of writing is short and snappy and it is made to be read in 27mins. You get all the relevant national and local news and the daily entertainment guide for what’s on in London.
The classified pages are useful. They cover all the weird and wonderful yet equally useful services available in London. You’ll find such things as massage, hypnotherapy and dating agencies.
The Metro readership is over 1.8million people everyday. Advertisers are battling to get themselves in there as it truly covers all of London.
