You love London right? And you love your local news? Thanks to you, our readers, we are able to launch a bigger, better site which we are calling MyLondon.

This Thursday (December 6) the popular Croydon Advertiser and GetWestLondon websites are rolled together to become MyLondon.News.

We'll continue to cover the areas you know best, plus we'll share with you what it's like to live, love, play, commute, eat, drink and party in what we can all agree is the Best. City. Ever.

And there will continue to be a place solely dedicated to Croydon stories.

On Thursday, once the new site is live, if you type in croydonadvertiser.co.uk it will take you directly to the Croydon page on the new site.

Why are we doing this?

Quite simply, we love London. We've grown the Croydon Advertiser website to a point where we feel we can cover much more of this brilliant capital.

We have found over the last couple of years that our readers aren't just interested in what's happening in their specific part of London.

Some of you live in Croydon but work in central London. Or perhaps you live in Bromley or Sutton but work in Croydon.

A London-wide site allows us to cater for an ever-growing audience from all parts of the city, while maintaining what we have always done by bringing you the latest news and information from Croydon itself.

What will I find on the new site?

We will be bringing you the latest breaking news from across the city. But that's only part of it.

We want to create a website that promotes all the positive aspects of living in what we think is the best city in the world.

But we won't patronise you - when something bad happens we know you want to know about it.

London - just like Croydon - can be an amazing place and an awful place to live at the same time.

We want to celebrate the brilliant and have an intelligent debate about what needs improving.

What about the What's On content?

Just as we do now, we will be publishing lots of features on the best places to go for a bite to eat, with your family at the weekend or for a night out with friends.

We will also aim to be the first to tell you about any new shops, bars, restaurants and businesses that are opening where you live and the rest of London.

What is happening to croydonadvertiser.co.uk?

From Thursday, December 6 croydonadvertiser.co.uk will become part of mylondon.news

Our social media accounts will also be changing with the Croydon Advertiser page becoming My South London to reflect the fact we are now covering a far wider area than ever before.

We will also have social media accounts for other parts of London - My North London, My East London and My West London.

And we have launched some traffic and travel Facebook pages to help make it a little bit easier for you to get around town.

There is a MIND THE GAP: London Tube, bus and train updates page and an M25 Traffic and Travel page.

We also have the My Olde London Facebook group where you can share your memories and nostalgia.

Don’t worry if you have croydonadvertiser.co.uk bookmarked, or you are used to searching for that name, you will automatically be redirected to the new site.

Our Croydon page will sit within our new site, mylondon.news, opening up our readers to a whole new collection of content from across the city.

The site will be easy to navigate, with special pointers to news from areas or on subjects that interest you the most.

Thank you for continuing to read, watch and share our stories and we hope you'll love your new site.

How to contact us If you have a story or spot some breaking news anywhere in London, please let us know about it. The more people who get in touch with stories and tips-offs, the better we can make the website. You can get in touch by sending a message to the Croydon Advertiser Facebook page - which on Thursday will be rebranded as My South London - or you can send an email to newsdesk@croydonadvertiser.co.uk

What is happening to the Croydon Advertiser newspaper?

You will still be able to buy the paper in all the normal places each Friday.

And please do so - it helps to pay for our journalism.
