London

Saturday

Parents in town tomorrow. Somewhere for Sunday lunch that isn't loud, and something to do after?

Two members with taste close to yours do this:

11:09

Lunch at The Ladbroke Arms. A proper Sunday roast, and quiet enough to talk. Book for 1pm.

11:09

Afterwards a slow walk through Holland Park. Ten minutes on foot.

11:09

Perfect, booked.

What people ask Marly

A weekend in London

An exhibition, a long lunch, a walk worth taking.

A trip

Which neighbourhood, which hotel, and how the city actually works.

An occasion

A birthday dinner, the in-laws on Sunday, a first date.

Time out

A spa afternoon, or a weekend to switch off.

How it works

  1. 1

    Introduce yourself

    A short conversation over WhatsApp voice notes: the places you love, and who you wouldn't send there.

  2. 2

    Ask anything

    Write to Marly whenever you're going somewhere. Answers come from the circle, not from search results.

  3. 3

    Someone's been there

    If a member knows the place well, Marly asks them for you. Nobody's number gets passed around.

  4. 4

    Your places stay yours

    Everything you tell Marly becomes your own list, city by city. When a friend asks for tips, forward it.

What makes Marly different

  • A verdict, not a rating. No stars and no averages. Who a place is for, and who it isn't.
  • From people who've been. Answers come from members, not from search results.
  • Lives in WhatsApp. Nothing to download.
  • By application. Every member is someone whose recommendations we would follow ourselves.

A short conversation to start, a few words after your trips, and now and then an answer for someone else.
