170,836 places across five British cities, London deepest by far, for finding the pub, the late pharmacy or the Sunday roast that is actually open.
London is Num's largest single city anywhere, with 120,463 places, and the rest of Britain follows at a distance: Manchester (19,846) and its 2,410 street-food spots, Edinburgh (14,201) from Leith to Fountainbridge, Liverpool (12,134) with 1,324 bars, and Bath (4,192), small, Georgian and easily walked. Scotland, England's north and west, and a spa town, all in one directory.
What people ask here is practical: a pub near the station with a table for six on a Saturday, a chemist open past ten, a proper full breakfast within ten minutes, where to eat before a show in the West End, a café in Leith with somewhere to sit and work. Ask in any language and Num replies in it, with a place that is open now and the walk or bus to reach it.

Contactless cards and phones are taken almost universally, including on London buses and the Tube; many places are now card only, so do not rely on notes.
In London you touch a contactless card or phone on the yellow reader at the start and end of a Tube or train journey, and daily fares are capped automatically; buses need a single tap on boarding. Other cities have their own systems.
Many pubs, especially outside city centers, call last orders around 23:00, and kitchens often stop serving food much earlier, so ask Num for one that is still serving.
Edinburgh runs on Scottish banknotes, which are legal in England but occasionally refused by unfamiliar staff; keep a Bank of England note or use a card.
Rain arrives without notice in every month and a warm day can turn cold by evening; a light waterproof layer matters more than an umbrella in the wind.
Message Num the way you would message a friend who lives here, in any language. It answers with one real place that fits, open now, and how to get there. It is free for travelers. Businesses list free and pay only when Num completes a booking for them, so nothing here is ranked by who paid.
It is one of the more expensive cities in Europe for beds and drinks, but many of the major museums are free, walking between central areas is easy, and a capped contactless fare keeps transport predictable.
Yes. Ask in any language and it answers in the same one, whether you want a Sunday roast in Manchester or a late pharmacy in Bath.
For a Friday or Saturday evening at a well-known place, yes, days ahead; for most neighborhood restaurants a walk-in or a same-day call works, and Num can point you to one with space tonight.
