Advertising in Life In Bromley and Life In Orpington is a great way to grab attention and get your business in front of lots of people. Our magazines are widely read, and our loyal readers often keep or pass on their copies for others to read.
What’s more, with prices from as little as £10 a month, you’ll find our advertising is really affordable for even the smallest of businesses.

Our advertising promise
We know that our content is trusted by thousands of people – and we want to keep it that way. That’s why only half of each magazine is reserved for advertising.
Nonetheless, we rely on advertising to cover our costs for creating, publishing and distributing the magazines you know and love. So, we have a range of options to suit all budgets.
We also offer a range of other media-related services and advertising including design and artwork, all types of printing, leaflet distribution, newsletter promotion and business directory listings.
Why advertise with Life In Magazines?
There are tons of reasons to advertise with us!
- Widely read – we have a readership of around 30,000 every month between our two magazines and digital editions.
