Frequently asked questions
Why list canal bridges instead of one midpoint?
Regent's Canal Meeting Points (Islington to Victoria Park) turns “meet on the Regent’s Canal” into specific locks and bridges you can text. FairWhere ranks those pins by journey fairness - and the same ordered pins power a longer or shorter towpath walk later.
Which end is best for a pint afterwards?
Broadway Market / Acton’s Lock and Victoria Park west have the strongest pubs on this stretch - filter for lock or gate, then rank fairly for your group’s journeys.
How does FairWhere rank places on Regent's Canal Meeting Points (Islington to Victoria Park)?
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.
