Five Dials Archive

Five Dials was a literary magazine published by Hamish Hamilton from 2008-2023. Founded by Craig Taylor and Simon Prosser, and named for a seedy, now-extinct part of London near modern-day Charing Cross, Five Dials proudly published literary voices as canny and irrepressible as the misfits who once populated the lost neighbourhood which was its namesake. Its sixty-six issues brought together short fiction, essays, letters, poetry, interviews and reporting from around the world, alongside beautiful contemporary illustrations. The complete digital archive of back issues is available here.
