At the end of a night out the prospect of making your way home can often seem a bit daunting, as anyone who has attempted to make their way across London in the small hours of the morning can attest.

Luckily the proliferation of travel related apps means that you can simply use your phone to get you home as quickly and safely as possible. Here are a few of our favourites.

Citymapper – Revolutionary app providing you with every option of London transport. Type in where you want to go, or simply hit ‘get me home’ from anywhere in the city and it’ll provide you with journey times and costs for all forms of transport – rail, bus, cab, bike even walking.

Hailo – The best way to hail a cab whilst still inside a pub or bar. the only way to get a black cab in the city. A cab is the easiest and quickest way to get home from anywhere in the town if you don’t mind spending a little more.

Wheely – book a private minicab. You can see how far away your cab is, and it’s all done cashless via your card details, so no fumbling for change at the end of the journey.

London Bus Live Countdown – use this app to identify the nearest bus stops to your current position, what buses run from there, where they go and how long until the next one arrives, so you can time the end of your evening out with the arrival of the next useful bus, rather than hanging around at the bus stop getting cold.

The Royal Borough is a great place to enjoy a night out, and thousands of people do every weekend. However we have spotted that some people are getting hurt as they make their way home, and this blog and campaign is aimed at addressing that issue.

So, here are a few statistics about pedestrian safety in the borough:
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has a good record on pedestrian safety, and in fact it has the second lowest percentage of collisions involving children in the entire country. But there are still issues.

Since 2005 there have been an average of 36 serious or fatal pedestrian casualties on our roads each year.

Pedestrians are consistently the biggest group of road users involved in collisions, and those aged 20-34 are the ones most often involved.

A national report has shown that in 1 in 10 collisions involving pedestrians the pedestrian being impaired by alcohol is a ‘contributory factor’ in why the incident happened..

It’s clear that if you’re out and about in the borough you can put yourself at risk by mixing alcohol and traffic at the end of the evening.. This blog is here to help you stay safe when you’re out enjoying yourself, showing that you can still got out for a good time and make it home safely..
