Be the next City Boy!
City Boy has been our most popular columnist since we launched in September 2006. Now he has 'retired' to kick back and enjoy his fortune, we have a vacancy. If you work in the City and are prepared to lift the lid on life in the Square Mile on a weekly basis, then get in touch with us in confidence. Send two sample 400-word columns to the cityboy@thelondonpaper.com and you will have a chance of taking over City Boy's perch.
