SF Cooper Ltd — Venture 04
Your neighbourhood, in your inbox. A weekly newsletter for the residents, shopkeepers and regulars who love living in and around Chislehurst, South East London.
About the newsletter
The Chislehurst 8:01 takes its name from the morning train — that moment when the village wakes up, the commuters depart, and the day begins in earnest for those who stay. It's a newsletter about what happens in between.
Started by Simon Cooper, who lives here and genuinely cares about the community, it covers local news, business openings, events, planning stories and the small moments that make a neighbourhood feel like home. It's made for people who love Chislehurst — or are learning to.
Local Business
We keep track of what's happening to local shops and restaurants so you don't miss a thing.
Community
From the farmers' market to the local running club — your guide to getting involved.
Planning & Local News
Keeping residents informed about the decisions that shape where we live.
The best local newsletters aren't written by algorithms or content farms — they're written by someone who bumped into the shop owner, attended the planning meeting, and noticed the new sign going up on the corner.
That's what The Chislehurst 8:01 is. Real neighbourhood journalism at a very human scale.
