We are a magazine dedicated to showcasing and celebrating the vibrant cultures and diverse communities of London. Patch is written by five student journalists, showing you our capital from the underground, overground and everything in between. We navigate the backstreets, cul de sacs and homes of people; experiencing their cultures and sharing their unique stories.
