Frequently asked questions
Why do we need meeting points on Hampstead Heath?
Hampstead Heath Meeting Points turns “meet on the Heath” into specific gates, viewpoints and ponds you can text, then FairWhere ranks those pins by journey fairness for everyone coming.
Can we swim as part of the plan?
Filter for swimming to surface pond-side pins, then rank the shortlist fairly before anyone walks the wrong path across the Heath.
How does FairWhere rank places on Hampstead Heath Meeting Points?
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.
