Surrey Comet
The Surrey Comet is a weekly tabloid newspaper sold and distributed free at pickup points principally in the south-western London Boroughs, particularly Kingston-upon-Thames and Richmond-upon-Thames, and the neighbouring parts of Surrey, including Epsom, Esher, Leatherhead and Sunbury.
It’s over 150 years old, having been founded in 1854 after the abolition of stamp duty on newspapers. It’s currently owned and published by Newsquest (London), and its editorial offices are in Twickenham.
Until 2008 it had one local sub-edition: the Wandsworth Borough News. However, that was absorbed into the freesheet for the area, the Wandsworth Guardian, in December 2008.
It was entirely a paid-for newspaper until early 2009, when about a third of its print run was distributed through pickup points for the first time. As of 2011 the proportion distributed free had risen to over 40 per cent.
It comes out on Wednesdays. An e-edition’s also available on the website.
