Got a suggestion that would make Time Out London a better site? We’re listening. Please leave a comment below
We are in the process of revamping the Time Out London site from the bottom up, with the aim of making it the best possible site for planning and sharing your leisure time in London. We have tons of ideas for how we can do things better and features we want to add, but we also have our ears and eyes wide open and we’re looking for input from our users: that’s you.
We’d really appreciate your comments on what you think would make the site better, right now, from your personal point of view. It could be something really simple, or a really far-fetched wish. Either way, we’re listening.
Please leave your comments below, and if you’d be available to help us test our new site please send us your details so that we can contact you when the time comes.
Thanks again for using Time Out!

how do i add my exhibition dates and info to your online art exhibition list? i have a show opening on May 20th at The Camera Club, London. thanks Petra Lisiecki
e will be visiting London end june from south africa and would like to be able to check what will be on at that timein order to plan and maximize our time.
i see others have requested this info too
Remove all reference to bumbling Boris and let's pretend it never happened.....
Is there no way to check further out than 14 days? I will be in London in July and would love to know what is going on then, especially with Classical Music and Theatre so thatI can plan my schedule and order tickets in advance.
Thank you all for the comments, we are listening. Specifically:
- postcode/location based search (angelie, joe) : we did some research before we removed it and it very few people seemed to be using it, so for the sake of simplicity we removed it with the intention of putting it into 'advanced search' however a technical issue has made that take a while - it will be in advanced search very soon. We'll certainly consider bringing it back into the main search if we continue to get comments. Meanwhile we're in the process of a full site redesign where we'll remodel the search again from scratch - and we know that looking at what's on in a certain location is a key way of navigating to content. Thanks for the comments Joe and angelie. keep your eye on the advanced search and give me your thoughts.
Print page (Donald Leigh): we'll definitely add this to the bug list, thanks for pointing it out Donald.
Shopping search (sparkle moore): "why can't you search shops like you can restaurants?" Good question and we're working on a solution to that, it's basically due to the way the information is stored - ie not in an events or restaurants database.
RSS (Humberto): We'll check the RSS feeds Humberto. we aren't aware of any issues. Which one in particular is giving you trouble?
Buy Tickets button (James): We know this is not ideal at present, but we are working on a better ticketing system. We do provide access to a massive range of providers and that is part of the problem.
Mood-based browsing (Tom): great ideas Tom, we are certainly looking at ways to facilitate navigation when you're in different moods eg active-vs relaxed, high-culture vs mindless entertainment. Thanks again for the suggestion, it confirms that fact that there is demand for this kind of thing.
Finally: If anyone reading this would like to be involved in some user-testing of the designs for a new Time Out London site please email me at onlineeditor@timeout.com
Thanks again for the comments

can we have the rss feeds as feedburner.com feeds so that it is easier to add them to igoogle.com please. cheers.
I'm surprised that there isn't yet a site that allows you to do listing searches based upon why you're looking in the first place, e.g. context-dependent: what mood you're in, rainy days, energy levels, company, to entertain, etc. Trawling through restaurant/music/ performance, sections doesn't seem the most effective way to find inspiration...
The RSS feeds are not working! When i click the link "read more" it opens a blank window saying "Feed not found."
I find the website really useful but I REALLY MISS THE FEATURE WHERE YOU CAN SEARCH BY POSTCODE! Where has it gone? Bring it back! Please! I pay for the mag but used to use the online edition for this all the time!
I have pleaded with you to allow me to write a column about London`s ancient markets. But it`s like talking to a dead donkey.
There is noone who has tracked the fate of the markets so relentless as I or who knows as much about them.
You cut your nose to spite your face, as the saying goes. You`re so keen to be on top of things- to pretend that you know it all- you`re absolutely stuck about not letting me do my thing.
The markets are in deep, deep trouble and so too is tourism in London; because the old markets per se are one of the few things we have left which are vibrant and fun and cockney.
Walthamstow market is being threatened because of the giant shopping mall which is going aheady as it`s got planning permission.
Queen`s Road in Upton Park is threatened as is the mall market in Stratford which replaced the old street market. But now as the landlords want to maximize profit they want to displace the old traders with High Street shops. Many of these traders` families go back generations.
Please, please...write up something about 'THEATRE GRAND-SLAM' at the Bedford on Sunday 11th May....because this isn't typical 'theatre dahling' it's just a really good, funny/a bit bizarre and unique night out that has completely packed out every time they've put it on.
PLEASE MORE INFO ON CANDLE NIGHT /EVENING PROGRAMMES IN THE MUSEUMS
At the moment the "buy tickets" button is wicked annoying. It's a good idea but any time I use it instead of taking me through to a page for that event it takes me through to a search page with sometimes as many as 200 events with tickets available.
Please bring back the search by post code function. Sometimes you just fancy going out locally and like to knows whats on. From the comments I've read, this request has been raised before with no response from the editor. Why?
Why can't you search the shopping section for shops by either name or type of shops like you can in the restaurant section?
