Next summer, join The London Magazine on one of two writing retreats at The Mill, France.
While our editorial team will be on hand throughout the week to lead workshops, facilitate conversations and offer one-to-one editorial feedback, the retreat is designed so that you can write at your own pace.
The judges of The London Magazine Poetry Prize 2026 award first place to Nina Reljić for her poem ‘Helen When Asked’, with second and third place awarded to Henry Woodland and Natalie Perman.
The London Magazine Poetry Prize 2026, judged by poets Isabelle Baafi, Dean Browne and Luke Kennard, is now open. Entries close March 30th.
The judges of The London Magazine Short Story Prize 2025 award first place to Renesha Dhanraj for her story, ‘Black Cake’, with second and third place awarded to Jordan Hayward and Jonathan Edwards, respectively.
Its twelfth UK edition, and its ninth at the British Library, JLF London returned this June with a weekend of expansive and cross-cultural conversation. With nearly 40 talks across literature, art, gardening, food, music and film, the programme was diverse and incisive.
‘All three winning poems speak of dislocation, of whim, of the untethered state of our being, while also being contained within the razor-sharp precision that language can offer.’
Prize winners announced for this year’s Poetry Prize.
‘A deeply impressive range of stories, both in style and subject. Together they offer a picture of contemporary life in miniature.’
Benjamin Markovits on the winners of this year’s Short Story Prize.
In honour of the scariest day of the year, the team at The London Magazine share their favourite books, stories and poems in the generously-applied category of ‘spooky’ fiction, film and poetry.
Choices include works by M. R. James, Angela Carter and Niall Campbell.
On the winning entries, the judges say: ‘We were all drawn to particular poems, and enjoyed discussing them a great deal but our winner, ‘The End’, was a unanimous one.’
