A handy new London pub and bar map shows every happy hour in the city
Then may we point you in the direction of Happy Places, an interactive map which tells you about every happy hour taking place in London, across a whole host of pubs and bars. The app, devised by City-worker Andrew Myers, is currently only available on the web, but iPhone and Android versions are on their way.
'Last weekend I pulled this together for me and my mates after realising (again!) the complete devastation a night out can have on your bank balance,' says Myers. And we thank you for your service.
The app lets you see happy hours happening right now, as well as giving you the option to slide forward in time to spot upcoming deals. 'Down the line, I'd love to roll it out across the UK, add bottomless brunches and food deals, and even bring in community features so people can share tips and finds,' adds Myers.
The app encompasses venues across London, from Boxpark in Wembley, to London's best dive bar Blondies in Clapton, and all the remaining branches of Simmons, which is about to close four of its cheap and cheerful cocktail bars.
The best bars in London, according to Time Out.

Witness History The rise and fall of BlackBerry
In the early 2000s, BlackBerry was the phone that ruled the world. But within a decade, it collapsed, overtaken by the touch screen revolution. Sam Gruet speaks to former co-CEO Jim Balsillie about BlackBerry's meteoric rise, its battle against Apple, and the moment he knew it was all over. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from the death of Adolf Hitler, the first spacewalk and the making of the movie Jaws, to celebrity tortoise Lonesome George, the Kobe earthquake and the invention of superglue. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: Eva Peron – Argentina's Evita; President Ronald Reagan and his famous 'tear down this wall' speech; Thomas Keneally on why he wrote Schindler's List; and Jacques Derrida, France's 'rock star' philosopher. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the civil rights swimming protest; the disastrous D-Day rehearsal; and the death of one of the world's oldest languages.
