London local directory

Getting around

Council offices, libraries, stations, car parks, bus stops and public toilets.

13 places, from our London directory. Every place is checked against open data and its own website each week; new places are added, and closed ones taken off. Nobody pays to be listed or to appear higher up. Opening hours change, so check with the business before you travel.

How we check these places

We only list a business when independent, up-to-date sources agree that it is trading: its own website, the food hygiene register, its company's own list of branches, official registers such as the NHS, and OpenStreetMap. A single old record is not enough. If any source shows a place has closed, it comes off the list straight away, and each card says which sources confirmed it and when. Everything is checked again every week.
