About Boroughly
Traditional property websites always begin with the house itself, but Boroughly flips the script by starting entirely with you. Designed as an intuitive web app utilizing interactive maps, Boroughly helps you discover where to live in London and its surrounding commuter towns based on your actual, everyday life.
Instead of manually filtering endless listings, you simply set your budget, pin the critical locations you need to be close to—such as your workplace, your mum's house, or a school—and check off the amenities your daily life requires. Whether you need good schools, a halal butcher, a synagogue, an LGBTQ+ friendly environment, a Lidl, or a gym, Boroughly evaluates all 278 London areas and commuter towns against your specific criteria.
The platform displays these insights on a live map, scoring locations on pricing, safety, live TfL commute times, and how welcoming the area feels. You can even draw zones you love and cross out areas you want to avoid. Best of all, Boroughly is completely free to use with no sign-up required.

Guests can upload photos directly from their mobile devices by simply scanning a QR code, which opens in their browser without requiring any application downloads.

Couples can also set up a dedicated digital Wishes Wall where guests can leave messages and well wishes.
Day of Us is free to set up and use under its base tier, which supports basic RSVP collection, song requests, and photo uploads with limits.
