Last month, Yelp celebrated its very first birthday in the UK with a party-to-end-all-parties at the Islington Metal Works. Yelp UK opened their doors to everyone who was a certified Yelper to enjoy the splendor of 50s tea ladies serving GnT within a vintage paradise, live music and plenty of good food and free-flowing cocktails.
Highlights include; the photo booth with lots of strange, wacky and wonderful props to play with, the GnT tea party complete with real grass (I thought it was fake. It wasn’t!), the amazing roast hog, rum cocktails and ZipCar who gave everyone a free lift to the after party at Slim Jim’s up the road. And of course, catching up with people and making new Yelp buddies! You can view all the photos here.
A big thankyou to Lizzie, Laura and Leon – Yelp UK’s community managers – for organising the shingdig and to some fellow yelpers who shared their favourite things and memories about the review site. Some of my favourite things about Yelp UK is the sense of community from online which translates to offline and that they have a nifty and very popular iPhone app where you can become instant Yelp friends.
