Find a Travel Companion
in London
A city of free world-class museums, legendary pubs, and the finest food market scene in Europe, if you know where to look.
Travel better in London with the right person
Split costs
A solo traveller in London spends about ~$80–120 USD a day. Accommodation, transport, guided tours and day trips all cost less split two ways.
Stay safer
A travel companion means someone knows your plans, can help navigate emergencies, and makes you less of a target in unfamiliar areas of London.
Go deeper
The best experiences in London (the off-menu restaurant, the dawn hike, the local's favourite spot) are found with a curious companion, not a guidebook.
Matched by style
Roammate filters by travel pace, budget range, and interests, so you connect with someone genuinely compatible, not just whoever's in the same hostel dorm.
Meeting someone new in London
Agreeing to travel with someone you met online is a real decision. Here is what sits between matching and meeting.
Verified profiles
Travellers can verify their identity with a government-ID and liveness check, and verified accounts carry a badge you can filter on.
Chat before you commit
Message in the app and get a sense of someone first. Nothing obliges you to share contact details, or to meet at all.
Report and block
If someone makes you uncomfortable, report or block them at any point, before or after you have arranged anything.
Emergency SOS
Add emergency contacts before you travel. If something goes wrong in London, raise an alert to them from inside the app.

Worth agreeing on before you meet
Pub Culture
Pubs are London's living rooms. Order at the bar (no table service in traditional pubs). A pint is £5–7. Last orders at 11pm on weeknights, later on weekends. No tipping at pubs, ever.
Tube Etiquette
Stand on the right on escalators. Let people off before boarding. Don't make eye contact or talk to strangers. These aren't suggestions. They're unwritten laws that Londoners take very seriously.
Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the London travel guide.
