    Er, no... There's no such thing as The London Times. The Times newspaper in the UK dates from New Year's Day 1788, having changed its name from The Daily Universal Register. It has existed as The Times ever since then - i.e. for 231 years.

    Although Americans refer colloquially but erroneously to a certain New York newspaper as The Times, its proper title since its foundation in 1851 is The New York Times. I see that Wikipedia refers to it informally as the Times (without the The) but the name Times with a The before it has, by precedence, to be accorded to the senior newspaper in London.

    PS I subscribe to the Times in the UK, meaning I get the paper edition and the on-line one as well at a great saving over the on-the-street price. Hence I can read it in Thailand on publication day from about 9 am onwards. It is an attractive deal and well worth the money.
    "The fruits of peace and tranquility... are the greatest goods... while those of its opposite, strife, are unbearable evils. Hence we ought to wish for peace, to seek it if we do not already have it, to conserve it once it is attained, and to repel with all our strength the strife which is opposed to it. To this end individual[s]... and in even greater degree groups and communities are obliged to help one another... from the bond or law of human society." [Marsilio dei Mainardini (c.1275-1342), Defensor Pacis]
