About us

Launched in May 2019 by journalist Kate Samuelson, graphic designer Georgia Weisz and written by Emma Izon, the Cheapskate London newsletter is now read by thousands of people each week.

When the newsletter arrives in subscribers’ inboxes every Monday morning, each handpicked event is still available to attend – allowing readers to be spontaneous (something which can be hard in London!).
