Featured Collection: Kai and his international pedestrian malls
We love to see people using Everplaces in creative ways. This week we are happy to introduce Kai, from Oregon, USA.
I am a graduate student in urban planning and have been studying pedestrian malls for my Masters Project. As a part of this project, I wanted to have a list of all of the pedestrian malls throughout the world. I know that there are hundreds. But at least I wanted to have the most important ones listed. So, I was really happy to discover the Everplaces app for my iPhone earlier this year. It’s an excellent tool to list and share your favorite places.
For my purposes, it’s extremely easy to add a pedestrian mall to my list. And, I love that I can have an exact map location and photos for each one. I also love that I can easily share my favorites via Twitter and e-mail. I have encouraged many fellow urban planners, urban designers, architects, and landscape architects that I know to use the app. So, I hope the user base continues to grow!
I look forward to adding dozens of more pedestrian malls to my Everplaces list in the future. And, I’m excited to see what other great features they come up with.

HAVE A CLASSIC BRITISH DAY IN LONDON
Interested in what to check out in London? Then meet Olivia, a londoner who loves
off-the-beaten-track, as well as classic cultural experience. With an abundance of hip places to eat and drink, it’s easy to overlook the classic art galleries and cultural experiences. Take a day and mix in some of the London classics with the unique. After all, they’re classics for a good reason.
Breakfast at Bloomsbury Coffee House: Seriously, do it. Its design-conscious interior, organic food, and life-changing coffee will not disappoint. Save it to your Everplaces collection
Contemplate modern art at the Tate Modern: By far my favorite collection of modern art, The Tate Modern is a hip place to spend the morning. Save place
Camden Lock Market: See a different side of the city in Camden-town. It’s the ultimate vintage shopping experience, and has excellent street food, an alternative crowd, and many treasures to be found. Save it to your Everplaces collection
Afternoon Tea at the Orangery: Located in the beautiful Kensington Gardens, this is the perfect place to have a cup of tea. It’s the ultimate cherry on top of a day in London. Save place
Evensong at Westminster Abbey: Avoid paying the steep charge to get into the Abbey and attend Evensong, a form of evening prayer featuring a talented choir. Save place
Be classy at the London Symphony Orchestra: Located at The Barbican, Europe’s largest multi-arts and conference venue, everything you need for the evening is inside. Grab dinner at the Barbican Foodhall, a cafeteria-style restaurant which offers cheap meals in a beautifully designed-space. One of the best orchestra’s in the world awaits you right downstairs.
