Ours is a journey that’s certainly been around the houses. We started out as AppyParking. An app made to solve the frustration of finding a parking space.

By showing drivers what parking was available were, we did our bit to ease the four days a year we each spend, on average, hunting out spaces. And this was when things got really, really interesting.

The search for data​: To build this app, we needed quality, standardized data. Except that didn’t exist. So, we rolled up our sleeves and made it ourselves.

Digitizing old plan drawings. Manually mapping out parking zones. Pestering councils for their records. Before long, we were the proud curators of London’s largest digital parking database.
