This is where frequently asked questions are stored. These will be questions either relevant to London, or relating to the site. Hopefully site use should be self-explanatory as user interface conventions have been followed where possible, but do contact the Inside Guide if you need anything clarifying. Please send your enquiries via the link. If it's a general type of question, which others will benefit from knowing, then it'll added to this list. Thank you.

e.g.

Q. What is the unit of currency in the UK?

A: The pound sterling (£). One pound is equal to 100 pence. (Quid is colloquial slang for a pound.) There is a currency converter on the site.

Q. What are the blue plaques on buildings for?

A: Erected in London since 1867, they mark where noteworthy figures from the past were either born, lived or died

Q. I find the text difficult to read as it's too small? (Thanks Ardi.)

A: Text size can be increased or decreased by pressing the CTRL key and scrolling your mousewheel up and down, which zooms you in and out of the page. As well as text, everything else increases in size too. This keystroke is standardised in all browsers, but be wary of Safari, where the background stays the same size, so things get squashed at high zoom. Alternatively - use 'CTRL and +' (plus)  keys to zoom in, 'CTRL and -' (minus) keys to zoom out, and 'CTRL and 0' (zero) keys to return to the default zoom.
