The Archer Newspaper
The Archer is a totally independent non-political and non-religious community-run newspaper, based in East Finchley, London, England. It is delivered free every month to 9,500 households in and around London N2.
The paper is written, edited, designed, produced and delivered entirely by volunteer members of the community.
​
We are always on the lookout for new members to write, research, edit, take photos, deliver or simply to come up with new ideas.

From our creation by five enterprising artists in 2004 East Finchley Open Artists has gone from strength to strength with around 60 members today. We encourage local artists and makers to develop their work and to share ideas and inspire each other through regular meetings, informal workshops, special events and specific interest groups. EFOA is open to all committed creative individuals who make their own work and want to develop their ideas. For more information, please visit https://eastfinchleyopen.org.uk/
