The Magazines
We currently publish two magazines each month: Life In Orpington and Life In Bromley.
Both magazines cover a mix of community, business and lifestyle articles, together with regular features, columns, competitions and more! They’ve a ‘dip-in, ‘dip-out’ format, ideal for your coffee table, and are a go-to source of positive, local community information.
In each issue:
- Community noticeboard, news and features
- Regular columns - from The Mayor of Bromley, local actress and author Linda Regan, historian and author Pam Preedy, and A Final Thought from a local community group.
- Local hero column – your chance to nominate someone you think deserves to be featured
- Letters page – if you’ve got something to shout about, email or text us. You might even win a prize, if you’re our star letter!
- Competitions and puzzles – with prizes!
- Lifestyle news and features – a wide range of lifestyle articles, including life hacks, local business news, health and fitness, technology, parenting, home and garden and more!
- Classified listings and adverts – we promise to only reserve half of the magazine for advertising each month.

Charities and Community Groups
As a community magazine publisher, we value input from charities and community / not-for-profit groups, so feel free to send us your content ideas through the above form.
However, because we rely on advertising revenue to cover our costs, we cannot give you free advertising. We do still like to help, so we have a range of options to suit all budgets.
