The Ham & High, officially the Hampstead & Highgate Express, is a weekly paid newspaper published in the London Borough of Camden by Archant. It covers the north London areas of Hampstead and Highgate.
The newspaper is priced at £1 and is published every Thursday.
History
Founded in 1860, from 1862-97 it was under the editorship of George Jealous and printed at Hampstead's only printers, Holly Mount, a former chapel. Despite being founded on principles of independence, it was sold to Archant in 2000.
In early 2018, Archant shut down the Ham & High's Finchley Road office, in favour of relocating them to east London. Later, in June, Archant announced it would be merging all north London news teams, resulting in the Ham & High no longer having a dedicated editor, to the dismay of former editors.
