What is a magazine? How did we end up with the things we know as magazines today? And how are the most exciting magazine publishers using print to reach readers in a digital age? For this year’s London Design Festival, we’re bringing together a group of publishers, historians, and academics to shed light on what it means to make magazines today. We’re presenting the event in partnership with Stack, the independent magazine club, and it’s all been made possible with the support of Fleet Street Quarter. London has played a huge part in the history of magazine publishing, and we’ll be drawing together some of the threads to show how contemporary editors and designers in the city are continuing 300 years of evolution and reshaping our understanding of magazine publishing. It’s all happening on Friday 18 September 2026, with a day of talks, Q&As, networking, and of course drinks in the evening. We’re presenting the event in partnership with Stack magazine. This event is generously funded by Fleet Street Quarter , whose support has made this event possible.
