Frequently asked questions

What does the “Alcohol Free Friendly + Booking Advisable” filter show on Unique Date Spots Across Central London?

This view narrows Unique Date Spots Across Central London to venues tagged for Alcohol Free Friendly + Booking Advisable. 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 pick a date spot that is fair for both of us to reach?

Unique Date Spots Across Central London is a spread of date spots, from quieter rooms to louder, quirkier nights. Add both origins in FairWhere and it ranks by journey fairness, so nobody starts the evening exhausted from a one-sided commute.

Should we book ahead?

Filter for Booking Advisable where it matters, shortlist fairly, then book before you travel: a fair journey to a fully booked table still wastes the evening.

How does FairWhere rank places on Unique Date Spots Across 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.
