Partner with Places We Connect
Places We Connect is a curated London directory of saunas, climbing gyms, run clubs, padel and cold plunges. The people who use it aren't working through a novelty list. They're deciding which place to go back to — and once they find it, they keep showing up. That's the customer we can send you.

curated guides + data report

profiles with intel
Built by one person who came back from travelling and wanted to rediscover where he wanted to become a regular. Read the full story →
The customer we send
Time Out tells someone what's on tonight. ClassPass lets them try a class once. We point them at the place they'll still be at in six months.
Sauna & Cold Plunge
~90,500 searches / month
The person who books the same sauna slot each week and starts recognising the Friday regulars.
Padel
Padel is four people and ninety minutes. The customer we send needs three others who show up — and finds them here.
Climbing & Bouldering
Climbers go back to the same wall because problems are shared, not solved alone.

Partnership tiers
Every partnership is clearly marked as paid. Curation is never for sale — we only work with Spaces we'd recommend to a friend.
Listed
Free
Every Space belongs in the directory. A listing costs nothing — you just need to be a place worth going back to.
Featured Spotlight
£500 / month
One Space per activity holds the top of its guide. Your profile becomes the first one London sees when they search for your activity.
One spotlight per activity at a time. By inquiry, not checkout.

The demand already exists
These are real UK search volumes. Every query represents someone ready to visit. When you sit at the top of a guide, that traffic flows through your profile.

One space sits at the top of each guide — and that position is not sold in bulk.
How it works
01
Apply
Tell us about your Space — the activity, the location, and why yours is the one people keep coming back to.
02
Fit check
Solomon reviews every application and, if it's a fit, suggests a call. Most Spaces will be turned down — that's the point.
03
Invoice
No self-serve checkout, no card on file. If it goes ahead, you're invoiced — a conversation first, then the paperwork.
04
Go live
We make the watercolour, write the essay, and put you at the top. Your spotlight goes live, and London starts finding you.
Paid placement is clearly marked. Curation is never for sale.
Every featured spotlight and founding partner is labelled as a paid partnership. The choice of which Spaces make the directory — and which do not — stays with the curator.
Apply to partner
Solomon reads every application and replies himself. If it's a fit, he'll suggest a call. No pressure, no automated follow-ups.
No self-serve checkout. No Stripe link. A conversation first, and an invoice only if it is a fit.
