Tony Elliott, who has died aged 73, was the founder of Time Out magazine, which began as a crudely printed listings sheet and grew to become the noticeboard and parish pump of London life, an indispensable part of living in the capital, and ultimately a global publishing phenomenon....
Elliott started the magazine in London in 1968 and it grew into a global media brand covering hundreds of countries.
A statement on Time Out's website described him as "a visionary publisher, a tireless champion of city culture and a staunch friend".
It said Time Out's first post-lockdown print magazine in London on 11 August would be dedicated to him.
"It is with great sadness that we announce that Time Out's founder Tony Elliott passed away on 16th July, after a long illness," the statement said.
"He will be sorely missed by his family, friends and colleagues.
"His life and his work inspired millions of people who did not have the good fortune to know him personally."
