Introduction
The Fence is a quarterly print magazine based in Soho, but focused on life in the UK and Ireland. We offer a mix of investigations, short stories and cultural essays, all threaded with a humorous and playful touch.
“The Fence is the illegitimate offspring of Private Eye and Evelyn Waugh, with a bloodline that stretches back to Gillray and Rowlandson.”
“A coolly beguiling and bracing magazine, clear-eyed, droll and shrewd. Just what we need in these complicated times we live in.”
“The Fence is witty, insightful, often bonkers and the most interesting publication to hit newsstands in aeons.”
“The essential skewer for our inessential age.”
“In our opinion, The Fence is Britain’s fifth best magazine.”
“You should subscribe. The Fence is funny, clever and rude.”
