It's a kind of database, kind of review site, used for documenting interesting places in London. Our major obsessions are [[Category Pubs|pubs]], [[Category Restaurants|restaurants]], [[Category Cafes|cafes]], [[Category Bookshops|bookshops]], and [[Category Museums|museums]]. We're also quite interested in places that are [[Category Vegan Friendly|vegan-friendly]] and/or [[Category Step-Free Access|accessible]]. (Check the [[Category Category|All Categories]] link in the sidebar for more!)
It's a kind of database, kind of review site, used for documenting interesting places in London. Want to find a [[Category Good Beer Guide|Good Beer Guide]] pub within half a kilometre of [[Waterloo Station]]? Or a [[Category Sushi|sushi restaurant]] near a [[Category Cinemas|cinema]]? That's what this is for. <small>(See the [[Waterloo Station]] page for the former, and [http://london.randomness.org.uk/find.cgi here] for the latter.)</small>

We collect structured data on everything we include in the guide, so if you want to find a [[Category Sushi|sushi]] restaurant near a [[Category Cinemas|cinema]], just use our <a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/scripts/find.cgi">category search</a>. Or if you want to find a [[Category Good Beer Guide|Good Beer Guide]] pub within 500m of [[Victoria Station]], just look <a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/scripts/pubsearch.cgi?tube_distance=500&tube=Victoria+Station&gbg=1&Search=Search">here</a>.
We're still importing location data, but we've got all the Tube and DLR stations, all the Good Beer Guide pubs, and all the cinemas <small>(well, all the cinemas that we could discover the existence of; we couldn't find an authoritative list)</small> &#8212; and we're adding more all the time.

This is not, and never will be, a commercial guide. We don't accept advertising or freebies, and all reviews are written by our team of [[Category Contributors|contributors]]. Major changes and additions to the site will always be viewable on the [[News]] page, and our <a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/scripts/stats.cgi">Statistics</a> page gives an overview of how active the site has been recently (specifics can be found in the <a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Le_Raj,_KT17_3LB">Recent Changes</a>, which are accessible from the navigation bar on every page).
This is not, and never will be, a commercial guide. It's a grassroots thing, set up for the benefit of its contributors. You can use it too, if you like. Or not, if you don't. We don't care :)

Welcome to the Randomness Guide to London.

What is this?

It's a kind of database, kind of review site, used for documenting interesting places in London. Want to find a Good Beer Guide pub within half a kilometre of Waterloo Station? Or a sushi restaurant near a cinema? That's what this is for. (See the Waterloo Station page for the former, and here for the latter.)

We're still importing location data, but we've got all the Tube and DLR stations, all the Good Beer Guide pubs, and all the cinemas (well, all the cinemas that we could discover the existence of; we couldn't find an authoritative list) — and we're adding more all the time.

This is not, and never will be, a commercial guide. It's a grassroots thing, set up for the benefit of its contributors. You can use it too, if you like. Or not, if you don't. We don't care :)

Our major obsessions are pubs and restaurants.

How to use it

Basically do what you want, but if in doubt you may wish to see the not-very-strict House Style Guidelines. Here are some easy ways to contribute.

We have a map of everything on this guide. (Warning: it takes a while to load. We have over 700 pages with location data, and that link grabs the data for every one of them and sends it to Google maps.)
