Happy March everyone – the new issue of LDN is out and it features cover star and actor-musician Ben Barnes! You’ll know Barnes from the small and big screen, in roles such as Prince Caspian in ‘Chronicles Of Narnia’, Dorian Gray ‘Picture Of Dorian Gray’ and Billy Russo in ‘Punisher’. He’s always been interested in making music, and with his recent EP ‘Songs For You’ he gets a chance to do “something for me”, he tells our correspondent Lieke Gaudes.

The rest of the issue features LDN’s take on the new ‘West Side Story’, the Hottest Games of 2022 (who’s played Elden Ring yet?), what’s on in London theatre and album reviews of Animal Collective, Black Country New Road, Bonobo, Yard Act, FKA twigs, Vincent for BIMM Introducing and our ‘The Beatles: Get Back’ docuseries review.
