Why subscribe?

The UK’s capital city is poorly served by the media. Too much of the journalism about London, whether from left or right, is negative and simplistic. I’m doing my best to provide an antidote to that, both as an individual and as publisher of OnLondon.co.uk, whose operation and freelance writers my earnings from this Substack help support.

I publish here mostly articles by me that have already appeared at On London, along with my big Friday newsletter On London Extra and my smaller Tuesday one, On London Latest, which rounds up all new material from OnLondon.co.uk from the previous seven days.

All of my output here will be free except for the two weekly newsletters, which is for paying subscribers only. As supporters of On London.co.uk, those subscribers will also receive occasional offers of free or discounted tickets to events graced by influential Londoners with which I am involved.

London has many strengths and many problems. My job, as I see it, is to report and illuminate the full range as best I can.
