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 <a href="https://rglondon.dreamwidth.org/">our blog</a>, 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?Restaurante_Santafereno,_SW9_8PR">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. Major changes and additions to the site will always be viewable on the [[News]] page. |
