The guide I wish I had on day one

When I first arrived in London as an international student, I felt completely lost. I wished someone had told me where to actually go... the real spots, not the tourist traps.

After two years exploring every corner, from Hampstead to Notting Hill, St James's to Marylebone, I documented every café, restaurant, bar and hidden gem. This guide is the result.

Every place comes from my own two years living in London as a student :

In their own words

The guide is very intuitive and easy to use

M.

I find the filters by neighbourhood very useful cause it's difficult to get the same on google maps

A.

On laptop it works way better

L.

The AI Gi is quite funny and a nice way to find exactly what I need for my day

S.

I liked the fact that I can see over time how much of my own guide I completed... quite nice

C.

I would also like to see a version in Paris

E.

I liked the interface a lot... and all the functions are easy to understand and use

G.

there's a lot of spots I never considered at all... want to see more people adding new spots

You're not exploring
London alone

The guide is mine. The community is everyone's — a living layer of votes, discoveries and meet-ups built by the students using it.

The Top 10 of the week

Members rate the spots they visit, and every week those votes decide a brand-new Top 10. Places climb, drop and appear out of nowhere — it's the honest pulse of what London is loving right now.

New spots to discover

The café nobody talks about, the late-night noodle bowl, the quiet library corner. Members publish their own finds — you browse them, save the ones you like, and endorse the ones that truly deserve a Top Spot badge.

Invite a friend along

Ask another member to join you at a spot: pick the place, a day and a time. They accept, decline, or suggest a different moment — so plans actually happen instead of living forever in your saved list.
