Pre-order now

Issue 02 of The Lonely Hearts Club lands in February 2026, just in time for Valentine’s season, when feelings run high, resolutions wobble, and everyone pretends they’re very chill about love.

Our second issue continues our signature rebellion against dating apps, algorithms, and anything that asks you to “swipe with intention.” Instead, we’re interested in connection in the wild: chance encounters, badly timed crushes, brave confessions, and the strange, hopeful business of wanting to be known.

As ever, you’ll find original writing, thoughtful features, and a fresh selection of personal ads, little windows into other people’s hearts, written by readers from across the UK. Read them slowly. Linger. You never know.

Printed in England on 55gsm improved tabloid stock and designed to be picked up, put down, and picked up again, The Lonely Hearts Club is made for cafés, bedside tables, and those moments when you’re not quite ready to text back.

Inside Issue 02

  • Original writing on love and 21st-century human connection

  • A brand-new round of personal ads (brave, funny, sincere)

  • “The Myers Match” column: Will your ad be matched by the UK’s one-and-only matchmaker?

  • Features, reflections, and suggested devotion

  • A touch of mischief, sprinkled throughout

Distribution & ethos

We remain proudly independent and continue to distribute through a small number of independent venues across London, alongside direct delivery to readers all over the world.
