A core part of this publication has always been to cover the diverse community that still persists round these parts.
And our popular weekly Q&A series, Ich Bin Kentishtowner, is all about exactly that. So we hope you enjoy this month’s 5-page cover story, which celebrates dozens of brilliant locals, from greengrocers to artists, teachers to pop stars.
Elsewhere we’ve got a three page food special, in which undercover reporter Michael Ptootch has tasted every hot chocolate in the area; and we review smart new ‘cave a manger’ Patron. Plus, take a peek at the menus at big new openings Joe’s Southern Kitchen and the Bull & Gate.
Kentishtowner in print is now available FREE at key pubs, bars, shops and cafes in six London postcodes: NW1, N6, N7, NW5, N19, and NW3 (see list below).
And if you’re missing Gasholder on the reverse side, that’s because our King’s Cross title has grown up and become a standalone publication in its own right. It’s only a short hop down to N1C to pick up a free copy though. Here’s where you can find a free copy of Gasholder when it’s published next Friday (April 17).
