It’s never good to pick favourites, especially when the calibre of choice is so very high. But sometimes it must be done. Here at Time Out we published 24 digital covers in 2024, spotlighting everyone from TV stars like AJ Odudu and Jamie Laing and breakthrough Gen Z talent like GK Barry and Cat Burns to underground wrestling clubs and the restaurant at the heart of London’s Little Lagos.
We turned Confidence Man into aliens, went boxing with Rita Ora, launched our 50 Best Pubs in London list with Jamali Maddix in the Army and Navy and took Will Sharpe to the cinema. We put Mam Sham inside a cheese grater, photographed Laufey with her identical twin, styled Stefflon Don with a snake and got together 26 legends of the underground music scene on an east London rooftop.
Keep an eye out for more cover stars coming in 2025, but for now, enjoy this round-up of our favourite covers of the year.
