Very slick! And I agree with the others, this gets location quite well (except it put me north of the Thames).

There are so many location apps, so it's good to see something simplified.

Now the one thing you need to do is give me a reason to keep coming back to the site.

Add chat maybe? There are lots of location-based chat apps now, that allow you to chat with people in the same location as you. What I would love is an app that let me chat with people in different parts of the city. "Hey Jenny, how's Oxford street this morning?" "Anything fun going on in Trafalgar square right now?". You get the idea.

Yeah I've been thinking about what I can do with this, but a location based chat has been done before. I was thinking of keeping it simple. A mobile version maybe, I use CSS3 Media Queries to show different "versions" of the app on different devices but I was thinking of doing dedicated mobile app... When I find the time of course lol
