Its April 2006 bumper issue, in which I had my first byline (“The Food & Drink 50 - our essential chart of the capital’s best restaurants and bars”), ran to 194 pages. The magazine has transformed since my time there. The rest of the four-storey journey was taken in silence. “Hello, I’m the new intern - who are you?” they asked.
During my stint at the magazine one of the editors had a cautionary tale about a previous intern, who had introduced themselves to a man in the lift. Elliott, who died in 2020, was known for his uncanny ability to predict the next cultural success. By late September that year it was a booklet. Time Out London was founded by Tony Elliott in August 1968, starting out as a one-page flyer about what was happening in London.

It’s a sad end to a magazine that defined London’s cultural life for more than five decades. In April, it said it had taken the “strategic decision to move to a digital-first model”, meaning it will focus on its website, live events and branded markets. And now Time Out London is to be redeveloped too: today (23 June) the company published the final issue of its print magazine. That office has now been redeveloped - the magazine and its neon sign moved in 2013, and is now in a glass and steel space in Drury Lane. It was the first office I’d worked in where I noticed the smell: the musty perfume of newsprint clung to my clothes and hair long after I left work in the evening. Everywhere there were stacks and stacks of old copies of the magazine.

They were all littered with books, flyers, invitations to events and packages which it was my job to open, scrutinise and, if important, distribute to the relevant editors (one or two Mac lipsticks were, if I’m honest, distributed directly into my handbag). The office was bursting at the seams, with desks shoved into odd corners, corridors and under stairs. The staff had long ago outgrown the space. To walk under its enormous neon sign, which projected confidently above the Tottenham Court Road, was to be catapulted back into the Swinging Sixties London in which the magazine had been founded: the office was all teak shelves, swirly yellow and brown carpets, and hungover journalists quietly recounting what they did last night (no one ever seemed to stay in).

There are only a limited number of these collectors editions available, so order now before the supply runs out. In addition to the cover, Banksy conducted a rare and revealing interview with Time Out London's Visual Arts Editor Ossian Ward.Įxclusive to the Time Out shop, we have printed a special collectors edition of the magazine with all the cover lines removed and Banky's art work can be appreciated in full. This photo shoot, a mixture of self-portraiture and his trademark use of spraypaint, is unlike anything he's ever done for a magazine before and may never be repeated. Through strong links with the magazine and in anticipation of his forthcoming cinematic debut, 'Exit Through the Gift Shop', Banksy approached Time Out and offered to provide an exclusive new work for the cover.
