Strangely (or maybe not?), we stumbled across Lapham's Quarterly in MAKEMAKECOFFEE next to Surrey Quays station. Also their coffee is amazing, so two reasons to go out of your way :)

Edit: that was more than a year ago, though, so I'm not sure if they still carry it, but I'd hope so.

Oh thanks - I will try that and report back!

Try MagCulture, although LQ might actually be too mainstream for them to carry.

(They have an awesome podcast too, if you’re interested in indie publishing: https://magculture.com/blogs/podcast)

https://www.mayhewnews.co.uk/ in belgravia at least used to stock the last issue or two. in fact it's where i've learned of lq!

It seems it's out of print:

"Lapham's Quarterly was placed on an indefinite hiatus on November 3, 2023, citing "a combination of financial challenges". The most recent issue, titled "Energy", was released digitally."

I was a Lapham's subscriber July 2021-July 2022, but found they were unable to actually put out an issue quarterly. In July 2022 when they had delivered only two issues of the four I subscribed for, they came back and tried to charge me a renewal for another year's subscription.

I don't know what was happening internally, but it was just impossible for me to support them after that, and I imagine it was the beginning of the end for them.

The same thing happened to me, unfortunately.
