le cool magazine is a weekly free magazine presenting a selection of concerts, djs, exhibitions, odd movies and other cultural events and happenings. It is also a clever guide to the city’s most worthwhile bars, restaurants, shopping and other leisure experiences, without being necessarily trendy - just really good. Instead of printing and distributing a paper magazine it is sent to its subscribers as a graphical e-mail, laid-out in a horizontal format with pages, as if it were a traditional magazine. www.lecool.com/london
