About Us

WHAT IS THE BRITISH WEEKLY?

The British Weekly is the only weekly newspaper serving the British expatriate market in the United States. We are head- quartered in Santa Monica, California, – ground zero for many expatriate Brits. Founded in 1984, we serve primarily the estimated 200,000 British expatriates living in Southern California.

Published every Saturday, the newspaper features British politics, sport, current affairs and showbusiness, as well as regular travel, film commentary book reviews, horoscopes and immigration features. And being a local paper, we offer extensive coverage of the local British ex-pat scene.

 WHAT’S THE DISTRIBUTION?

Printed every Thursday, the paper is distributed to over 225 locations in Southern California, including British import shops, tea rooms, pubs, travel agents specializing in British and Commonwealth travel, British and European gourmet food stores, British social clubs and British consulates and trade offices throughout Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Communities we reach include Santa Monica, Venice, West L.A., Hollywood, Burbank, North Hollywood, Studio City, Thousand Oaks, Van Nuys, Woodland Hills, Canoga Park, Torrance, Long Beach, Westminster, Costa Mesa, Irvine, Santa Ana, Tustin and Fullerton.
