About
Pimlico Journal is an online magazine founded in August 2023, publishing our first article in the October of that year. We started Pimlico Journal because we were unsatisfied with the state of right-wing publishing, from the stale mainstream papers to their often poorly-managed online competitors.
Whilst few articles can be completely original, we avoid publishing content that simply repeats the tired arguments that have been heard hundreds of times before; every Pimlico Journal piece should add something new to the conversation.
Our work has been cited by major publications and outlets, including The New Statesman, The Spectator, UnHerd, The Guardian, The Critic, Taki’s Magazine, Caribbean Rhythms, Claremont Review of Books, History Reclaimed, and GB News, among others.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who are you?
We can’t really answer this question! Our editors and almost all of our writers use pseudonyms; this is less a matter of not wanting our names associated with our ideas, and more that we like the creative freedom (and the honesty) that the use of a pseudonym brings.
Our editors are based in London, and most of our contributors are from Britain or Continental Europe.
Who writes the articles?
Pimlico Journal has had dozens of contributors — some of whom have chosen to be published anonymously, some under their real name, but most under a pseudonym.
Whilst some of our contributors are professional writers, most are not. When we started Pimlico Journal, we did so with the belief that new ideas required new people, and we believe that that thesis has been vindicated.
What do I get from upgrading to a paid subscription?
Paid subscribers gain access to a paid newsletter, covering day-to-day politics. Later this year, we will launch a podcast, which will also be paywalled.
Can I submit an article?
Yes! We are always looking for new contributors. If you are interested in writing for us, please submit a pitch to submissions@pimlicojournal.co.uk .
Please don’t be discouraged if this is your first time writing an article — our editorial team is always happy to publish new writers, and to help you develop your ideas.
Do you pay for articles?
In general, we do not pay for articles, especially from first-time contributors, though we are willing to occasionally make an exception. In particular, we are very unlikely to pay for articles which arise from an unsolicited pitch.
Is there a physical magazine?
No, there isn’t a physical magazine. We don’t have any plans to print one, as this usually loses money, and is mostly an exercise in attempting to garner ‘prestige’ — something which is of limited value in practice (much better just to win an influential readership). However, at some point, we might publish a book collection of our best articles.
Which political party does Pimlico Journal support?
We are not a party-political publication.
