This is a start at a guided tour of what RGL can do. It's a work in progress.
A friend is passing through London via King's Cross station, and has a couple of hours free to meet up with you for a beer. You're both fans of real ale, so you decide to look for a pub near the station that's in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide.
- Go to the Pub Search page.
- Select "King's Cross St Pancras" in the Tube station drop-down list (leave the "500m" drop-down box as it is, or select a different option if you're willing to walk a bit further).
- Click to select the "In the Good Beer Guide" box.
- Click "Search".
- Below the search form, you'll now see all the Good Beer Guide pubs within that radius of King's Cross, with brief summaries of any specific features they have. At the time of writing, there are two GBG pubs within 500m: Skinners Arms, WC1H 9NT and Mabel's Tavern, WC1H 9AZ. Look at those pages for more details, and choose the one you prefer!
- If your friend's happy finding their own way there, send them the link to your chosen pub; the “map of this place” link will give them a street map to help them navigate.
- To find the quickest way from your office or home to the pub, scroll to the bottom of the pub's page, put your postcode in the box where it tells you to, and click “Show”. It'll display three links which you can follow to get directions: WalkIt will give you walking directions, Journeyplanner will give you public transport directions from Transport For London, and Gmaps will give you whatever it feels like at the time.
- Have a good evening, and, when you get home, add your own comments and thoughts to the pub's page, to help other people decide if it's somewhere they'd like too!
More to come when I'm less tired. Anyone with any good ideas for use cases, please add them here.
To add:
- Moved into a new area and want to know what's nearby; talk people through finding out their OS coordinates and using the location search page.
