The London Magazine subscription

From the publisher

The London Magazine is England’s oldest literary periodical, with a history stretching back to 1732. Today – reinvigorated for a new century – the Magazine’s essence remains unchanged: it is a home for the best writing, and an indispensable feature on the British literary landscape.


Across a long life – spanning several incarnations – the pages of the Magazine have played host to a wide range of canonical writers, from Percy Bysshe Shelley, William Hazlitt and John Keats in the 18th-century, to T.S. Eliot, W.H. Auden and Evelyn Waugh in the early 20th-century. Meanwhile, in recent decades the Magazine has published work by giants of contemporary fiction and poetry such as William Boyd, Nadine Gordimer, and Derek Walcott.

In the Latest Issue:
In our April/May issue: Highlights of this issue of The London Magazine include poetry from Raymond Antrobus and Fiona Sampson, fiction from Joanna Walsh and Miranda Gold, as well as essays on the life of legacy of John Ruskin and the muses of 20th century French painter Pierre Bonnard (recently featured at Tate Modern). Elsewhere we have new work from eleven other brilliant and diverse poets, as well as essays on history, psychogeography, literary history, and our usual extensive journalism covering the latest and greatest in contemporary literature.
