London Blue Plaques App

Tuesday, February 4th, 2014

blue plaque appSean O’Shea has produced an iPhone app of all of the English Heritage London Blue Plaques using the data that I collated for my Blue Plaques map. The app is free, so no reason not to download it now and start looking round London in a different way.

There are over 850 EH blue plaques, concentrated mainly in central London, but some of them go out as far as Harrow or Bexley.

A version of the app optimised for iPad will be following soon as the 1.1 upgrade, and if the app proves popular we are hoping that there will be an Android version as well.

The app has its own Twitter feed, so you can check for news and updates there. And I’ll be blogging about any future news if you want to follow here.

Edit: 7 Feb 2015

There’s now an Android version of the app as well.

Blue Plaques on Google Earth

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

blue plaqueI’ve just added a Google Earth KMZ file to the GE Community website which shows the location of all of the English Heritage London Blue Plaques. You can see this in your browser if you have the Google Earth plugin. Or click here to download the full Google Earth program. It took some time to convert the listing on the EH website – I hope you think it was worth it.
