The London Magazine was first founded in April 1732 and has offered a review of literature and the arts ever since. Its heritage for championing the highest calibre of British art is testified by the magazine’s editorial support for Wordsworth, Lamb, De Quincey, Clare, Hood, Carlyle, and the ‘Cockney School’ of John Keats, Leigh Hunt, and William Hazlitt during the nineteenth century. T.S.Eliot saw The London Magazine not as “a vehicle of expression for critics occupying university posts”, but as “the magazine which will boldly assume the existence of a public interested in serious literature”. The December 2007/January 2008 edition contained poetry by Anne Cluysenaar and Phillip Gross, as well as an interview with Fiona Sampson.

The Arts Council has recently refused The London Magazine’s grant application and they have lost their editor Sebastian Barker as a consequence. However, the magazine intends to continue to thrive, bringing their readers the best and brightest of both the UK and International artists and writers for another 270 years. Great plans are afoot and they hope to publicly appoint a new editor in due course.

To do so however, the magazine will need new subscribers, and also high quality publishable work. They are therefore running a subscription drive concurrently with a call for submissions of short fiction, poetry and reviews. If you have any questions, queries, suggestions or potential submissions, please contact Acting Editor Sara-Mae Tuson on 0208 400 5882 or 07862722140 or email them to admin@thelondonmagazine.net.
