## What is LondonLore?

LOOK UP. THEY WERE HERE.
George Bernard Shaw and Virginia Woolf kept house at the very same Fitzroy Square address, missing one another by a polite twenty years. Handel and Jimi Hendrix were Mayfair neighbours, two centuries and a single garden wall between them. One composing Messiah, the other Purple Haze, practically within earshot.

Mary Wollstonecraft, Karl Marx, T.S. Eliot, Gandhi, Florence Nightingale, Bob Marley and some 800 others all left their fingerprints on the same handful of square miles. Most of us stroll straight past, eyes on our phones, never once looking up.

Well. Time to look up.

This isn't textbook history. It's an introduction. An encounter. A story that, rather thrillingly, includes YOU.

LONDON'S LARGEST OUTDOOR MUSEUM
800+ blue plaques, every one with something to confess. An audio-guided wander between them, except nothing is scripted and no two walks are ever the same. Your guide responds to where you're standing, what you're curious about, and whatever you fancy asking next.

WALK YOUR MOOD
A pub crawl through Soho. A literary saunter round Bloomsbury. The musicians of Mayfair, the rogues of Westminster, the women who quietly rewrote science. Tell your guide the mood and it builds the route in seconds.

COLLECT LEGENDS
Every plaque you visit joins your private gallery of greats. Watch your collection grow as you roam: Shaw, Wollstonecraft, Turing, Nightingale, Marley. History you've actually met, rather than the kind you merely revised for an exam.

ASK, AND KEEP ASKING
The plaque gives you a name and a date. Your guide gives you everything after that. What was Mozart doing in London aged eight, and where on earth were his parents? Why did Agatha Christie keep so many addresses across the city? Each answer opens another door, and you can keep walking through them. This is the conversation a tour group of forty never gets to have: yours alone, going precisely as deep as your curiosity takes it. Ask about Christie and you might learn her second husband was an archaeologist, which she reckoned was the ideal match: the older she got, the more interested in her he became.

GOOD FOR THE SOUL (AND THE STEP COUNT)
Free to use, and it has the audacity to get you outdoors. Squeeze a walk in between meetings, after dinner, on the amble home. London becomes a city you discover rather than merely navigate.

BETTER WITH COMPANY
Send a walk to a friend. Plan a date around the great writers of Bloomsbury. Introduce someone to a poet, a scientist, or a thoroughly disreputable politician.

WANDER FROM YOUR ARMCHAIR
Best enjoyed on London's pavements, but browse the map, plan walks and fall into the stories from anywhere on earth. Ideal for plotting your next visit, your morning commute, or a fond trip down memory lane.

WORKS OFFLINE
At home, in a hotel, on a plane, or rattling through the Underground, everything's stored on your device, so it's always there. Private, and gratifyingly snappy.

BRING YOUR OWN KEY
For unlimited walk-planning and AI features, pop your own Anthropic API key into Settings. We never see it.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No ads. No third-party trackers. Visited plaques live in your own iCloud, syncing quietly between your devices and nobody else's.

For tourists. For Londoners who are quite sure they know the place. For history lovers and accidental wanderers, and for anyone who's ever passed a small ceramic disc and wondered, just for a moment, who once lived there.

Look up. They were here.
