Uncover London’s history with HISTORY™ and foursquare

HISTORY™ has teamed up with location-based mobile app foursquare to help you uncover the history around you. Check-in to one of over 600 locations in London and you could uncover the secret history behind your location.

Did you know?
• Savoy Street – This is the only street in the UK where you drive on the right. The rule dates back to the days of hansom cabs, dropping off their privileged guests at the Savoy Hotel.
• The Dove pub – Situated at 19 Upper Mall in Hammersmith, this cosy riverside pub dates back to the 16th century, and boasts the smallest bar in England – 4 foot 2 inches by 7 foot 10 inches!

Check in to any historical location enough times and you could unlock the limited edition HISTORY™ ♥ London badge.

Unlocking the badge will automatically enter you into our prize draw to win a fantastic VIP weekend in London.

We’re also working with venues across London to give special offers and discounts each time you check-in. From 2 for 1 entry to Globe theatre to 10% off in the shop at the Museum of London we want you to rediscover your love for London.
