Frequently asked questions

Which stretch do these pubs sit on?

Walk-and-a-Pint (Parkland Walk) is the pint half of the Parkland Walk from Finsbury Park to Highgate: Stroud Green, Crouch Hill, Crouch End and Highgate. It is not a generic south London pub list. The Highgate tunnels are closed, so the walk ends at Holmesdale Road.

Where should we meet first?

Use Parkland Walk Meeting Points: Oxford Road, Blythwood Road / Crouch Hill, the ghost platforms, or Holmesdale Road. Then hop to a pub on this list from the exit you used.

How does FairWhere rank places on Walk-and-a-Pint (Parkland Walk)?

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.
