It’s Friday and it’s time for the debut episode of Awesome Things My Friends Have Made! First on my list is ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
kake and bob’s Randomness Guide to London. When I want to find a pub that serves decent ale or a restaurant that serves delicious non-standard-British fare in a neighbourhood I don’t know, the RGL is my first stop, and it always delivers an excellent recommendation. The creators and contributors make an effort to provide the kind of detail that you might not know you wanted, such as exact prices paid on the dates of their visit, child-friendliness, music volume, and layout of the venue. They also give accessibility information, both at entrances and (crucially for London) to the loos.
If you live in London and want to contribute to the RGL, I can highly recommend going withkake and/or bob on a scouting trip for the guide. Both make a delightful accompaniment to a good pint or a plate of delicious food.

And yes, we're always open to recruiting new contributors — particularly people who have experience in noting accessibility, child-friendliness, and vegan/vegetarian-friendliness, and/or who spend significant amounts of time in non-central parts of London.
Maybe worth mentioning that the RGL blog (which gives weekly updates on new entries, and also has occasional discussion of potential changes to the way we organise the information etc) is hosted on Dreamwidth at

It's great that they have the "random" button next to the pubs & restaurants options. I like clicking on them and seeing what comes up - especially satisfying if it turns out I've been there!
