Many of its reporters have gone on to make careers in Fleet Street, and it is still considered a training ground for the nationals. Max Wall and then Richard Woolveridge edited the bi-weekly in its glory days when its circulation was over 130,000.
The novelist Martyn Bedford used to work in the Lewisham office of the paper, while Brian Alexander, the former sports editor of The Sun and Mail on Sunday, was sports editor until 1986. Paul McCarthy, sports editor of the News of the World, John Pienaar, political correspondent and reporter on BBC Radio 5 Live and David Bond, who was appointed as the BBC's Sports Editor in 2010, worked at the SLP in the 1980s and 1990s.
Others who went on to Fleet Street include Brian McConnell, Peter Burden, Ron Ricketts, Geoff Manners, John Rodda and Colin Wood.
The South London Press won the Press Gazette Regional Press Awards 2009 Newspaper of the Year for weekly newspapers above 20,000 circulation.[1]
The SLP incorporates former newspapers, South London News and South London Observer, and the South London Advertiser Group.
Between 2007 and 2016 the paper was part of the Tindle Group, which bought it from Trinity Mirror.
In 2016 the paper was acquired by Capital Media Newspapers before being sold on to Street Runners Ltd in July 2017.

The Advertising, Pre-press and other departments are based in Yeoman House, Croydon Road, Penge.
