London Travel Guide - Peter Pauper Press Interactive
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
The award-winning travel series goes interactive! Featuring nearly 700 listings, this practical, engaging, and easy-to-use app will introduce you to London’s many wonders. First-time visitors will find the perfect introduction to the Royal Capital, and for those already familiar with the city, we’ve pointed out plenty of lesser-known gems in every neighborhood. Find locations on a map (even offline!), schedule a trip itinerary, share your photos, and easily locate venues nearby. London offers something for everyone. With the help of Peter Pauper’s city guide, make the most of what it has in store for you.
* OFFLINE MAPS. Need to navigate from the subway, or a zone with similarly spotty signal? We’ve included high-res, interactive stored maps that you can access any time. Pan and zoom as you please. There’s also a fully searchable online map.
* NEAR ME. Want to find out what’s nearby? Tap the Near Me button to pull up a list of the closest recommended restaurants, shops, and things to see and do. You can also sort any tailored list of venues (French restaurants, for example, or bookstores) by distance from you. Whether you seek the nearest pub or the nearest historic cathedral, the London Travel Guide will send you in the right direction.
* STRAIGHT TALK. Confused by not-quite-credible, conflicting online reviews? Veteran European travel writer Vesna Neskow has hand-picked every site in the app, with the sole goal of recommending places worth your time and money. In each venue’s listing, you’ll find a brief description, its location on a map, its contact info, and a photo, so you know what to expect. And because we know that travel research can strain your attention span, each review is direct, interesting, and fun.
* FAVORITES. No need to cast about for the name of that unique cafe whose review intrigued you, or that niche museum whose focus sounded fascinating and fun—just add them to your Favorites. Our newest optional feature notifies you when you’re near a bookmarked site.
* PUBLIC TRANSIT. We’ve included a high-res map of the London Underground, tips for easy transport, and recommendations for traveling to and from London’s airports and other transit hubs. You’ll also find details on London’s taxis and buses.
* TOP PICKS. Overwhelmed by a sea of options? Here’s a list of London’s greatest sights. These are the venues that made history, the ones that first come to mind when people picture the British capital.
* SEASONAL EVENTS. Never miss (or accidentally stumble into) a major festival, race, royal occasion, or cultural event. Our season-by-season list enumerates the city’s foremost annual happenings. Whether you’d prefer to be in the thick of the London Marathon excitement or holed up indoors far away, check this section when making your plans.
* TRIP PLANNING. Avoid missing out on your must-see list by planning your adventures in advance. Even if scheduling’s not your strong suit, the My Trip feature will help you organize your travel wishlist. Hit the Add to My Trip button on a venue page, select the timing of your visit, et voila—instant itinerary.
* SOCIALIZE. Tweet your Tower of London photos, check in on Facebook over afternoon tea, and generally let the world know you’re having a grand time. We’ve incorporated easy-access social media buttons into every listing. To make documenting your escapades effortless, there are also in-app camera and photo sharing functions.
