Newsquest journalists on strike Journalists at titles in the area, which covers Surrey, Sutton and Twickenham, have been working to rule since 15 April.
They were two days into a four day strike, their second round of industrial action, over a number of issues including planned reductions in editorial space and redundancies.
Today mother of chapel Thais Portillo-Shrimpton told Journalism.co.uk an agreement had been reached and strike action had been cancelled.
"Newsquest London and Newsquest South West London NUJ chapel are pleased to announce we have reached an amicable agreement which has led to editorial staff ending all industrial action.
"The agreement to replace vacancies that may occur over the next six months and to retain two extra editorial positions was accepted by a majority of union members."
As a result of the agreement, which followed two days of negotiations, staff returned to work today, she added.
Newsquest has not responded to a request for comment.
