Described as ‘the ultimate transport app’ Citymapper was designed for Londoners, by Londoners! Through the power of your mobile, you can find your way around any city using any method of transport. The helpful app even suggests where you should sit (or more likely stand) for a swift exit off the tube, shortening how far you have to walk on your journey!
Mint allows you to see an overview of all of your finances in one place and create a budget – essential for every Londoner! Stay on top of your budget, track your bills and find out your credit score all within one app. It’s no secret that living in London can be costly, but with Mint, you can master your money and improve your life in London.
There’s always something going on in London, but how do you find out about the best events? Not only does YPlan know what’s on, you can also book tickets to events in your city. Fill your diary with VIP upgrades, freebies and invitation-only events and experience everything London has to offer.
No reservation? No problem! So much more than just a booking app, OpenTable shares special offers and a points system where you can exchange points for vouchers.

With Evernote, you can organise your work and declutter your life all in one app. Get organised and work smarter from anywhere as you sync your notes, ideas and checklists for a stress-free life.
Documenting pretty much your whole life, this app ensures your pictures are backed up safely, organised and labelled automatically with Google Photos. Make room for more memories and never worry about running out of space on your phone. Living in London, there’s always a photo opportunity and now everything can be saved and accessed at a touch of a button.
Parking in London has never been easy, until now. AppyParking shares on and off-street parking information across London. Avoid parking fines by discovering where and how long you can park for free in London by downloading this free app.
Whether it’s popping to the shops, hitting the gym or travelling to work, getting around London can mean spending a lot of time walking or catching the tube. To pass the time and make every journey more enjoyable, download Spotify and listen to your favourite music through your smartphone. The popular app offers millions of songs including the latest hit singles and ready-made playlists. What will be the soundtrack to your next trip?
We’re pretty sure that you will already be a regular user of Uber, as it has taken over how we hail taxis, particularly in London. No need to call a cab, Uber finds you wherever you are, takes you to your destination and allows you to pay through the app. The private driver service has revolutionised how we travel in London and is cheaper than a traditional black cab.
Deliveroo lets you order from your favourite restaurants and delivers quickly to your home or office. Similar apps such as JustEat work mainly with takeaways, however, Deliveroo brings you hot food from some of the finest restaurants in London.
We’ve just about covered the daily essentials of life as a Londoner, so what’s left? How about finding you somewhere to live! If you’re buying or renting in North London, pop into your local branch or visit us online to find your new home and enjoy everything that living in London has to offer.
