OMG, this is from their website:


"Zest Media produces luxury lifestyle magazines for the ultra high net worth residents of London. Each publication has been individually tailored to its readership, the common thread being beautiful design and fascinating local content bringing a national tone to local magazines."


Surely this isn't the "credible" magazine someone else was going on about on here? "Bringing a national tone to local magazines" ???


"Ultra high net worth residents of London"???? Jesus Christ. Sorry for blaspheming.

Absolutely Bonkers! 55 pages of property cr*p, some over the top fashion nonsense and a couple of interesting (ish) features and single pages of local interest. Better than that SE22 dross tho. Good print & stock... can't begin to imagine who would pay ?3.95 for it?
this is yet another cynical self serving bit of self promotion by local estate agents and overpriced pretentious local shops. it seems to me that all the local magazines have all the same contributors and advertisers. same old stuff regurtitated. who do they think they are? it has all got a bit too cosy and boring.

Hmm, what was it about the millionaire Foxy that first attracted me to him?

    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
    • Oh, I didn't know that! I didn't move here till 1991 (I think) but the NCR incarnation must have been around that time? Unless my failing memory is even worse than I thought it was, sob.
    • I just googled, and apparently there's another branch of the Soho Street Govinda's  in Theobald's Road. I had no idea.
    • yes that's the one!  it was (nearly) harmless fun to get the un-initiated to put the coin in for you i also seem to remember that the Hanway Street place was called Govinda's.  it was vegetarian, vegan even - but it was much more palatable fare than the standard Hare Krishna stuff.  I also used to go tot he Indian Y - which I remmber discussing on the EDF some eyars ago.  And then the first Wagamama opened off Russell Street
