A fire means that the Time Out magazine will not be delivered as usual, as almost quarter of a million copies were destroyed.

The magazines that are currently intact will be distributed as usual to subscribers, to cultural institutions, retailers, clubs, pubs and restaurants tomorrow.

Greg Miall, managing director of the magazine, said in a statement to The Drum: “This is the first time that this kind of situation has arisen in over 44 years of production and whilst some magazines survived, we will not be able to distribute as usual until Thursday this week.

“We are just grateful that no-one was hurt in the incident and ask that our readers and users continue to use our website and continue to engage with us through our social networks and through comments and reviews."

80,000 issues of the magazine were salvaged.
