Welcome back to the Anglotopia Weekly Newsletter — your positive corner of the internet where we celebrate all the wonderful things that make Britain great!
It's a new month, and we have a wonderful mix of content to kick it off. On Anglotopia, the Great British Motoring series rolls on with the story of the Mini — how a tiny car became one of the most culturally significant vehicles ever built — plus a look at the A4 steam locomotive, the fastest steam train ever built. We also have a delightful Brit Buzz column on the very British concept of a "lovely drying day," and a new podcast episode with Heather Teysko, founder of TudorCon and one of the true pioneers of independent British history podcasting. We're also still collecting your questions for our special 100th episode Q&A — don't miss your chance to ask Jonathan and Jackie anything!
And over on Londontopia, the National Gallery has announced its first-ever exhibition of 20th-century German paintings, opening in 2027, which looks genuinely unmissable. On Royaltopia, we're looking back at the Queen and the Presidents — Queen Elizabeth II's remarkable seven-decade history of state visits to America.
We have something new in the store that's already flying off the shelves — our Wonderful Windows: British Cathedrals Stained Glass Creative Colouring Book ($19.99). It features stunning stained glass windows from across Britain's great cathedrals, rendered as beautiful coloring pages. We've been genuinely surprised by how quickly it's been selling, so if you want one, don't wait too long. Shop it and our other titles below.
It's the start of a new month, which means our Friends of Anglotopia membership count has dipped a bit as some subscriptions rolled over — and we really need your help getting the numbers back up. We're at 256 members, and our goal is 300, which unlocks the removal of Google ads from Londontopia for every single reader. If you've been on the fence about joining, right now is the perfect moment. Members get a new Sunday Post every week, exclusive long-reads, behind-the-scenes content, and the genuine satisfaction of supporting independent British content. This week's Sunday Post is a trip to Pembroke Castle — birthplace of Henry VII and one of Wales's most dramatic fortresses. Click here to join the Friends of Anglotopia.
Cheers, Jonathan & Jackie Publishers, Anglotopia
