Southwark News is a weekly local newspaper based in Southwark, south London, England. It is the only independent, paid-for newspaper in London.
The newspaper is owned and run by Southwark Newspaper Limited, based in Bermondsey.[1]
Southwark News started life as the Bermondsey News in 1987, as an A-4 photocopied sheet of paper and rapidly grew to cover the entire borough and the surrounding area. The paper was founded by Dave Clark, who died at the age of 53, and was funded for a time by a local funeral director, Barry Albin-Dyer.[3]
The group also publish the weekly Greenwich & Lewisham Weekender, as well as the Millwall website News At Den.
In addition, they publish The South Londoner and Bermondsey Biscuit & Rotherhithe Docker magazines.
