The Fence #21

Facts, features, fiction, investigations, humour and lies from the UK's only magazine.

The Fence has rapidly developed a devoted readership for its scurillous and very English mix of humour, investigation and politics. Smartly presented in black and red with copious illustration, it’s a unique publication that describes itself as ‘The UK’s only magazine’. Patently untrue of course, perhaps a better description comes from Graydon Carter: ‘the illegitimate offspring of Private Eye and Evelyn Waugh.’

In this issue: 

This is The Fence's sweet 21st featuring an excursion to London’s oldest undertakers (who only organised Horatio, Lord Nelson’s funeral in 1805), a trip to the ‘most palpably mysterious guest house’ on Dalston Kingsland High Street, and an exploration of the ins-and-outs of a long-term jury trial (‘Well, not quite all. That would be contempt.’) And plenty more.
