Finding a copy of your free Evening Standard

All 600,000 copies will be printed later, bringing readers up-to-date coverage of news, City and sport with agenda-setting analysis and comment.

More copies will be available into the evening at mainline and Tube stations, retailers and strategically placed pick-up points to meet the overwhelming demand that there has been for the Evening Standard since we became the first quality newspaper in the world to go free.

All your favourite columnists will be back this week, as well as the regular sections of Fashion, Style & Sex tomorrow, Health & Beauty on Wednesday, London Life on Thursday and on Friday Film & Music plus ES magazine, London's favourite glossy.

To find the latest information on where you can get your Evening Standard call our freecall helpline or go to our online map.

In addition, a trial venture has been launched to allow local shops to make arrangements for regular readers to reserve their daily copy. Please speak to your newsagent if you would like them to consider joining this scheme. Go on our website at standard.co.uk/update to register your interest.

We wish you a happy New Year, and promise you an outstanding newspaper with the best journalism in London every weekday.

Public figures reveal the FREE things in life they love most

Gordon Brown, Prime Minister
The NHS is loved in Britain because of the excellent care it provides and because it does so free at the point of need. I would like to wish the editor and all the staff the very best today as they offer Londoners their Evening Standard free for the very first time.

Andrew Motion, poet
London has always been the great city of free spirits and free thoughts, and is full of free pleasures as well — free museums, free libraries, free parks, all overlooked by free-to-walk-in Hampstead Heath. Now its best paper is free. Wonderful!

Andrew Lloyd Webber, composer
One of my favourite things is to spend a morning in the Tate Gallery, particularly in the Pre-Raphaelite bit.

Nigella Lawson, chef
Free speech, free time, free Evening Standard. Fabulous.

David Hockney, artist
Smoke-free, the Evening Standard free... What next, free tea? The best of luck.

Boris Johnson, Mayor of London
The best things in London are free. Free elections, free museums, free healthcare. The Evening Standard is the indispensable guide to London. I wish the paper well.

VS Naipaul, Nobel laureate
It is wonderful that the Evening Standard is free. Other free things I like are landscape and meeting new people and a good dinner party. And the love of my wife and cat.

Lawrence Dallaglio, former England rugby captain
The best free day for family Dallaglio is to go to the ceramic section of the V&A. It's absolutely fantastic.

Alain de botton, philosopher
I like to go to the nearest big hotel and take a seat in the lobby. I wish the Standard the very best.

Nicholas Hytner, artistic director, National Theatre
I can't wait to pick up my free Standard every evening, maybe as I listen to the free foyer music in the National Theatre or cross Waterloo Bridge to admire the view.

Anya Hindmarch, designer
London parks. Walking fast over the river, I love the bridges.
