Time Out London’s first post-lockdown print magazine will be released on 11th August 2020. This special summer edition will be dedicated to the memory of Time Out’s pioneering and much-loved founder, Tony Elliott, who died of lung cancer on 17th of July 2020. The special print edition will be published 52 years almost to the day after the first magazine, which was printed 12th August 1968.  Tony Elliott founded Time Out in London, as an eight page print listings guide which he handed out himself. At the root of the concept was his desire to find out where the good stuff was happening - and to share that insight with anyone else who was interested. It turned out that a lot of people were interested. (“I had one idea”, he famously said, “but it was a good one”). His curated, expert guides have spread all over the world: Time Out Media currently covers 328 cities in 58 countries, and now the curation has leapt off the magazine and web pages and into physical reality as Time Out Market – a place where you can immerse yourself in the best food and cultural experiences in the city under one roof. The Markets currently reside in Lisbon, Montreal, NYC, Chicago, Boston and Miami with future openings in London, Dubai, Porto and Prague. Tony’s passion for culture and the city remained undimmed even in his final weeks. He was ‘Mr Listings’: obsessively diligent not only about the information, but also what he called “the information about the information” i.e. definitive curation that we

As an unprecedented time of uncertainty and social separation continues, two institutions come together to connect families around stories, reading, and learning  The New York Public Library and Time Out New York Kids are teaming up to present daily virtual storytimes to young children and families beginning on Monday, August 10.Each day at 10 AM, a 20 to 30 minute storytime hosted by a children’s librarian from The New York Public Library system will be available for free at timeout.com/newyorkkids. Each session will include children’s book readings, songs and many other engaging activities. The virtual storytimes are inspired by the popular storytime programs for kids 0-5 usually held in New York Public Library branches. Those programs have been temporarily suspended since mid-March to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. While NYPL branches have started to reopen for limited, grab-and-go service, live programs cannot be held at this time, and currently, there is no set timetable for their return.Time Out New York Kids, part of the global media and leisure brand Time Out, partnered  to broadcast the virtual storytimes to aid in reaching as many New York City families as possible. Since 1968, Time Out has helped people explore and experience the best of their cities, and has been part of urban cultural life around the world. “It is so important for children and their families to engage around books and reading,” said the Library’s Merryl and James Tisch Director of Educatio

A note from Time Out Group CEO, Julio Bruno:  It is with a heavy heart that I have to give you the sad news of the passing of Tony Elliott, Time Out’s beloved founder, last night. Tony had been bravely fighting lung cancer for a long time. He would not allow that to stop him. It was remarkable to see. He kept looking at the world with those inquisitive eyes, with that innate curiosity that very few possess in such measure. And he was so very proud of his baby until the end: Time Out. Tony kept sending emails and calling until the last minute, not just to me but to several other colleagues, about every aspect of our content, the design, the typeface, our web, our social channels, our market, our purpose. Time Out for him was a creation of love and generosity. He loved London intimately, its culture and its counterculture, and wanted to share his passion for the city with the world. But Tony wasn't going to stop at one city, after London he conquered the world, the brand, the ethos of Time Out to hundreds of cities. In doing so he touched the lives of millions of people. As a board member of our company, Tony kept advising us on our direction, our purpose, and the meaning of Time Out. Tony was engaged with the company until the end, guiding us and encouraging us. We will miss him dearly. At a personal level I met Tony 5 years ago and spent many hours talking to him about his favourite subject, Time Out. I learned from him every day we met. Last time I saw him in person was mid
