Launched in London in 1999 The Metro started a craze in free newspapers, now it is the UK's fourth largest daily newspaper. The Metro is part of the same media group as the Daily Mail, The Mail on Sunday and the Evening Standard. The Metro has a contract with London Underground allowing it to distribute the paper inside tube stations unlike the Free evening newspapers who set up stalls outside stations. This delivery van is parked on the A400, Kentish Town Road For more on the Metro visit Wikipedia's article on it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_(Associated_Metro_Limited) or the papers own website http://www.metro.co.uk/
