Time Out
I really like Time Out, not just for it’s listings of what’s going on in London but also for the fact it tells me a little bit more about this sprawling city that I live in, and not being a Londoner there’s quite a lot to discover.
Thankfully the new refreshed Time Out makes it an even better magazine. The content is pretty much still the same but it’s been shuffled around to provide more of the insightful and interesting editorial in the front of the magazine rather than scatter it liberally throughout, making it a better read and leaving a lot of the listings towards the back of the mag.
The only downer is maybe how long Time Out might be around and relevant, as the deluge of free publications is continuing to grow, supplanting what you may get from great reads like Time Out, plus the internet means you can find all the listings you might desire free at the touch of a button.
Maybe Time Out’s next major step will be to go free?

Free is probably going too far, but a real incentive to subscribe - more and better discounts etc would push more people like me to look at it every week rather than just when we have a sudden space to fill in the diary, or cultural urge…..
