Slow down. You're standing on something interesting.

The Local Network is a place-based discovery platform that reimagines how people explore towns and cities. Each vertical has its own style of map, suited to what it's guiding you through.

Pub crawls (18+) uses a tube-map format, lines, stations, interchanges, mapping routes between pubs the way an underground maps a city.

For the wider, family-friendly offer, art trails, heritage walks, and more, we take our cue from various map styles, such as OS maps, Wainwright's guides, as well as treasure maps and constellations.

Every map is researched and built by hand. We dig into the history and character of a place, track how it's changed over the years, and present it in a format that's actually fun to use, and designed for discovery, not directions.

Venues and attractions can promote their events and link to their social media directly on the platform. We may also partner with breweries, tourism boards, heritage bodies, and hospitality brands on sponsored maps, like SipCity for pub crawls, giving local businesses a way to reach explorers without compromising the integrity of the map data. Sponsorship is clearly labelled; the place data always comes first.

The platform is built by Babewyn Ltd, a UK technology consultancy based in Suffolk.
