London Opinion and Today, often known as London Opinion, was a British magazine published from 1903 until 1954, when it was merged with Pearson's Men Only. It ran weekly from 26 December 1903 to 27 June 1939, and was then published monthly until April 1954. It took over the weekly Humorist in 1940.[1]
Among its most famous covers was the 1914 Lord Kitchener Wants You recruitment poster, designed by Alfred Leete.[2]
Contributors included cartoonists Norman Thelwell,[3] Rowel Friers, and Arthur Ferrier.
