However, with the sheer cost of, quite literally, everything in London, it\u2019s tricky to know where to head for a round of cocktails with your pals that won\u2019t set you back the cost of a small mortgage. But it seems as though our penny-pinching prayers have been answered in the form of this very handy map of <a href=\"https:\/\/secretldn.com\/best-things-to-do-london\/\" rel=\"follow nofollow noopener\" target=\"_self\" class=\"shortcode-outbound-link\" data-has-ga=\"true\" data-ga-type=\"click\" data-label=\"https:\/\/secretldn.com\/best-things-to-do-london\/\" data-action=\"text_cta_0\" data-category=\"click_internal\">London<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The map in question comes courtesy of Andrew Myers, who \u2013 out of frustration for how flippin\u2019 expensive it\u2019s become to go out for a drink in London. \u2013 created the HappyPlaces app. With the cost of a pint soaring to new heights, he decided to have a rather thorough rummage through the capital\u2019s happy hours and drinking deals, and collate them all into one handy, interactive map. <\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Copy-of-FACEBOOK-SPLIT-IMAGE-8-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"a side by side image of screenshots from the HappyPlaces app - a map of London (left) and a list of drinks and venues (right)\" class=\"wp-image-383388\"  \/>Credit: HappyPlaces app<\/p>\n<p>The HappyPlaces app<\/p>\n<p>The app features a live map that pinpoints all of the active happy hours and drink deals happening in London\u2019s bars and <a href=\"https:\/\/secretldn.com\/best-pubs-in-london\/\" rel=\"follow nofollow noopener\" target=\"_self\" class=\"shortcode-outbound-link\" data-has-ga=\"true\" data-ga-type=\"click\" data-label=\"https:\/\/secretldn.com\/best-pubs-in-london\/\" data-action=\"text_cta_1\" data-category=\"click_internal\">pubs<\/a>. Users can instantly see all of the happy hours nearby in real time, and they can also \u2018fast-forward\u2019 the map, and use the time slider to see the deals and events that are happening later in the day. Pretty revolutionary, right?<\/p>\n<p>The map was unveiled last year, but it\u2019s recently undergone a bit of a glow-up. A whole host of new deals have been added, and you can now filter by specific drink or venue type, save your favourite spots, and exclude chain venues. <\/p>\n<p>With plans to onboard a plethora of new venues and even expand in to food deals and <a href=\"https:\/\/secretldn.com\/bottomless-brunches-london\/\" rel=\"follow nofollow noopener\" target=\"_self\" class=\"shortcode-outbound-link\" data-has-ga=\"true\" data-ga-type=\"click\" data-label=\"https:\/\/secretldn.com\/bottomless-brunches-london\/\" data-action=\"text_cta_2\" data-category=\"click_internal\">bottomless brunches<\/a> soon, the HappyPlaces app is well-and-truly levelling up London\u2019s social scene.
