This may be based on specific interests or niche interests. Second Audience: visitors to the city of London who want to go off the beaten track and discover new things on their own Stories Breadth Use Cases: Focused on bottom up curious Londoners who seek surprise and delight through exploration as Strange, Interesting, Hidden things around the city. Depth Use Cases: Focused to top-down curious Londoners who have interest in a specific topic. Initial Experimental topics: Public Art, Buildings, Jack the Ripper We already have around 700 POIs!
