Frequently asked questions
How do we pick a fair North London pub for the whole group?
Camden, Kentish Town & Kilburn: Pubs Where Nobody Gets the Long Journey is a curated North London pub set. Add each person's origin in FairWhere and it ranks the shortlist by journey fairness, so the person coming from Zone 4 is not always the one with the worst commute.
Can the group vote on the shortlist?
Yes. Start a plan from this Placelist, invite the group, and use FairWhere's share and voting flows to agree on a venue after the fairness ranking.
How does FairWhere rank places on Camden, Kentish Town & Kilburn: Pubs Where Nobody Gets the Long Journey?
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.
