Frequently asked questions

How are these things to do tonight in London chosen?

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.

Is all of this really happening now?

Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.

How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?

Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Do I need an account to use Outgoing?

You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.

Is Outgoing free?

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
