★ London's best, first, greatest, oldest, only... ★
"Best of London" shows you the best, greatest, oldest, wildest, most thrilling, most peaceful, most unusual and “only” places to visit/experience/eat/drink/shop/party in London.
We include lesser-known London gems alongside tried-and-trusted favorites, and along the way tell you more about London than even the smartest Blue Badge guides let on:
We haven’t simply taken an existing guidebook and crammed it into an App. Instead we’ve written original content with you in mind. Whether you’ve just emerged from a tube station and you’re surfing for the most interesting nearby restaurant, or you already know London but you’re looking for inspiration, or even if you’re just sitting at home, planning a day out, then this simple but powerful App will lead you by the hand:
from the oldest and most traditional restaurant to the coolest bar (and boy, do we mean cool!),
the poshest shopping arcade to the oldest pie ‘n’ mash shop in central London,
the wildest ride to the quietest oasis,
the saddest spot in town to London’s best belly laughs… and much, much more.
Among the 275 superlative sites (and over 1500 specially selected photos) we’ll even introduce you to the capital’s biggest and geekiest Apple.
And, as a bonus, by buying the App you’ll have the opportunity to join, completely free of charge, the SuperLDN club which will keep you informed of offers from all our SuperLDN partners. Just send your e-mail address to me at superlondon@tiscali.co.uk (I promise not to pass your details onto anyone else). In fact you’ll save the cost of this App (and much more!) the first time you take advantage of one of our club offers.
Finally, if you buy SuperLDN once - it's less than the price of a cappuccino - you get free upgrades for life (just try asking for that at Starbucks…).

Customer Reviews
Good first effort, needs some refinements
I downloaded this after landing in London and realizing my daughter needed more guidance from me on what to see. Overall the app is easy to use and seems well- written. My daughter was impressed with some of the places he mentions. As with any new app improvements are needed:
1). Maps should ALWAYS be available offline. Isn't that a commandment in the app bible or something? There should a utilities area on the app to turn active mapping off.
2). Directions via public transport should be included. Who can afford to taxi it everywhere?
3). The exact address of each place should be listed right there with the description.
Two more days to go and I'm sure I will continue to reference it--just making sure I have the maps inactivated.
