FREE Easter Egg with Todays Evening Standard

Hey everyone,

I've just been out for lunch in Kensington High Street and found that the Evening Standard stall there were giving out a free Green and Blacks Organic Easter Egg with todays paper. What's more if you show your Oyster Card, you'll get the paper (and the egg) for half price - that's 25p! :beer:

Dunno if this is all Evening Standard stalls but hopefully others will benefit from this info!

    Yep, just been out myself and can confirm, it's a lovely Green and Blacks Maya Gold Easter Egg at St James's Park - there were queues though and they were going like hotcakes!

    They also had a free hardcover book 'Iconic London' showing glossy pictures of touristy london, makes for a great gift and RRP £6.99 on the back cover.

    Both for 25p if you have an oyster, 50p if you don't....bargain, but but quick!!!!

    P.S. it's this one if anyone is interested:

    Heads up for tomorrow, quote from the newpaper thread;

    Show your Oyster Card and you get it for 25p, got two of the eggs today, they are quite big.

    The guy selling the newspapers said that they will have different ones tomorrow... he was around Waterloo Station in London!

    Oooh, thanks! I might go on an egg hunt at lunch time... the Standard comes out at about 2, right?
  • They're at Canary Wharf right now, but I think they might run out v-e-r-y soon...
