Icon and Yes & No

Chapter 1

Monocle’s Kioskafé

The Kioskafé in the London neighbourhood of Paddington is a magazine shop and coffee stop with a carefully curated selection of publications from all four corners of the globe. We get some summer reading tips from the shop’s supervisor, Maverick Petit-Taylor.

Chapter 2

Icon

Chapter 3

Yes & No

This is a quarterly magazine on its second issue, setting out to defy categorisation and address the modern world. It’s delightfully eclectic, with articles by NHS medics on blood-borne pathogens sitting alongside avant-garde fiction and seasonal recipes.
