Participants:
There are many independent publications in London * each presenting unique and quirky perspectives on life in the metropolis. They certainly offer different slants on city life than the limiting cacophony emanating from Wapping and Harmsworth Quay.
Amongst the participants in London Magtastic are the following London focused publications some of which will be available free, others for less than the price of a pint of beer.
Litro Magazine: is a free monthly publication which features one or more pieces of short fiction to appeal to someone who is on their way to work which take you to places you normally don't think about visiting when travelling on the Underground.
One Eye Grey: £2.50 London legends, folklore and ghost stories retold for today, in essence a penny dreadful for the 21st century.
The Other Side: Free. The magazine for the Northern Line. The idea of The Other Side is to create London's first community centred magazine, where readers both on and offline can contribute to the content.
The Pavement: is the free magazine for London's homeless. As well as investigating issues which are important to the homeless, the magazine also runs an up-to-date listing of basic support services. Plus, of course, brilliant cartoons and features.
Smoke: a London peculiar: £2.90 A magazine of words and images inspired by the city.... a love-letter to London, to the wet neon flicker of late-night pavements, electric with endless possibility, and the soft dishevelled beauty of the city’s dawn. The out-of-shot lives half-glimpsed from a train window, or from a phone number scrawled on the back of a Travelcard, dropped on the night-bus stairs...
Savage Messiah, £2.00 It's not religious but it does bite.
