Black Plaques London
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
The definitive guide to London’s dark side.
"Imagine a grown up version of Horrible Histories" The Sunday Times
"A touch fruity... Great and, indeed, grim stuff" Time Out
Ever felt you’re not being told the whole story? Black Plaques lift the carefully-placed rug and discover a big stain:
• Executions in Trafalgar Square
• Underwear looted from Buckingham Palace
• Putrid gas pumped up Big Ben
• Prisoners of war in Kensington
• Murder in St Paul’s...
Retrospectively rubberneck on London’s least celebrated tales - ones that some might hope were best forgotten. With augmented reality at each site and no skimping on important detail, the effect can be alarmingly vivid.
But it’s not all misery and gore. Black Plaques immortalise any episode where mankind was not enjoying its finest hour - heroic failures, lewd antics and tragic misfortunes mix with the mysterious, farcical and misguided, topped with a dollop of the downright peculiar.
Over 300 virtual plaques give a compendium of colourful vignettes - little-known to locals let alone visitors, exposing foibles and failings that DON'T get mounted on a wall.
• Original content of over 75,000 words and 600 images
• Stories interconnect for armchair browsing
• Check-in on Foursquare, share on Facebook and Twitter
• Data connection needed only for map and social media
• No need to be in London to enjoy this app.
