Newsagents: 'The London Evening Standard' newspaper on sale 20p.
To local newsagents and to people who might mention this to their newsagent to ask their newsagents to sell The Evening Standard.
There is a newsagents shop (which used to be a post office) in a road called Weston Park, in Crouch End, which sells The London Evening Standard newspaper for 20p.
Newsagents please can you contact 'The Evening Standard Newspaper' to ask them to sell you copies of their paper if they won't give you them for free? Like the shop mentioned above does.
The Evening Standard charges 15p to the newsagent and the newsagents sells the paper for 20p. And the ES give you a sign to stick outside the shop to say that the paper is on sale,so bringing in customers to the shop.
This shop is next to the Bon Croissant cafe and roughly at the junction of Weston Park and Inderwick Rd by the parade of shops there. If you are in the Broadway by the clocktower in Crouch End then Weston Park is the road by Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Many pensioners feel cut off from London news if they can't read this newspaper which has been part of their lives for many years.
The Evening Standard is given out free of charge at Tesco in Stroud Green Rd but they run out of copies,but The Evening Standard won't always give smaller shops this newspaper to give out free,hence charging the shop 15p and the paper sold on for 20p.
The fact is that many older Londoners and those less mobile and other people used to value getting their Evening Standard from the local newsagents as they weren't going on any buses or trains or very far from their home. Now those more vulnerable groups are cut off from London reading London news especially if they don't have internet,while others grab a discarded copy of the paper on the bus etc.

"Many pensioners feel cut off from London news if they can't read this newspaper which has been part of their lives for many years."
the only people I've ever seen reading the ES have been a) on public transport b) have looked like they were heading home from work c) looked miserable. Maybe you are right and the pensioners of Stroud Green are avid readers of the ES in private, but it would be good if you could produce some evidence for this.
2) are you sure the newsagents in Stroud Green read this website?
You are good value TNH, but I can never be arsed to finish your essays

Hmm?
Judging from the usual MO you'll get a reply at about 11pm tonight. Brace yourself!
My guess would be... Drives a white van with copies of the Sun, unpaid parking tickets and lots of empty coke cans/polystyrene coffe cups on the dashboard. Drives with the window open in all weathers in order to holler at passers by. Supports Millwall or Chelsea.
Or a housewife who gets completely hammered and posts on the forum when the kids have gone to bed.
