VeraCity
The City at the tip of your phone
VeraCity is a free-to-access ‘Pathfinder’ information and navigation portal for the City of London.
Those who live in, work in, or visit the City can point a smartphone at a City landmark and immediately learn more about it, adding to their understanding of both the history and working of the City.
Sponsored by the 695th Lord Mayor of London, Professor Michael Mainelli, it underpinned his theme of ‘The Knowledge Mile - Connecting to Prosper’, it contains information about City places and spaces, people and communities, as well as initiatives that will sustain and build the future City.
