Frequently asked questions
What does the “Bookable + Cocktails” filter show on After-Work Drinks in Central London?
This view narrows After-Work Drinks in Central London to venues tagged for Bookable + Cocktails. FairWhere can still rank that filtered shortlist by journey fairness when you start a plan, so the activity fit and the commute both work for the group.
How do we stop after-work drinks defaulting to the nearest Zone 1 pub?
After-Work Drinks in Central London is a curated set of bookable central pubs. Add each person's office or station in FairWhere and it ranks the shortlist by journey fairness, so the person finishing in Stratford is not always the one with the nightmare commute.
Do these pubs take group bookings?
This Placelist focuses on pubs with bookable space or private rooms for groups. Filter for bookable, private room, or big groups, then rank the shortlist fairly before you request a table.
How does FairWhere rank places on After-Work Drinks in Central London?
FairWhere ranks venues on this Placelist by FairWhere Score: journey fairness for your whole group, not by popularity, sponsorship, or who suggested the place first. Open Plan a fair meet to add origins and see the ranked shortlist.
Do I need everyone in the same area of London?
No. FairWhere is built for groups coming from different zones. Add each person's start location and it ranks venues so the travel burden is as fair as possible across the group.
Is this free to use?
Browsing Placelists and creating a basic plan with estimate-only ranking is free in the London beta. Optional live checks and deeper routing may use credits where offered.
