What is this?

It's a kind of database, kind of review site, used for documenting interesting places in London. Want to find a sushi restaurant near a cinema? Just use our category search. Want to find a Good Beer Guide pub within 500m of Victoria Station? Just look here.

Our major obsessions are pubs (particularly those in the Good Beer Guide), restaurants, and bookshops. We're also quite interested in places that are vegan-friendly and/or accessible.

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, and our Statistics page gives an overview of how active the site has been recently (specifics can be found in the Recent Changes, which are accessible from the navigation bar on every page).

We now also operate a Hivemind which determines [recommended]? places.

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 2000 pages with location data, and that link grabs the data for every one of them and sends it to Google maps.)
