Hyperlocal · Real-time · AI-organised
Local chat that
knows your area.
What do people who actually live here rate — the food, the deals, the spots worth your time? Localz is your neighbourhood's real conversation, in real time, with the locals who already know the answer.
Shoreditch
London E1 · 1,284 locals
Best of Shoreditch → Caravan (2-for-1 brunch till Fri), Owl & Pussycat (Sunday roast). Kept here so you never have to ask twice.
Illustrative examples — not a real conversation.
A different kind of local
Not a forum. Not a group chat.
Every neighbourhood already has a forum nobody posts in and a WhatsApp group you can't get into. Each of them got half of this right.
Forums got this right
Memory
Ask something in 2019 and the answer is still sitting there, filed under something sensible, waiting for the next person with the same question.
But writing a post is a chore, the moderators outnumber the members, and the last reply was four years ago.
Group chats got this right
Life
Real people, right now, talking the way people actually talk. Nothing to compose, no title field, no category to pick. You just type.
But the moment something useful is said it starts scrolling away — and you had to know someone to get in at all.
What a hub is
A chatroom that remembers.
You chat. That is the entire ask — no posting, no titles, no categories, no deciding where something belongs. AI does the filing a forum would have made you do yourself: it gathers related messages into topic rooms, keeps a running summary of each one, and holds on to the answers that turn out to be useful.
What builds up is a living knowledge hub for one place — everything locals know about where they live, written by nobody in particular, just by everyone talking. Move to the area six months from now and it is already waiting for you.
- Chat speed
- Forum memory
- No invite, no application — you live here
Where you land
You don't find a hub. You're already in one.
Open Localz and it works out where you are, then shows you the places that contain you — no search, no invite code, no guessing which group is the right one.
Your city hub
The big one — London, say. Everything happening across the city: what's on, what's changed, what people are asking. One per city, official, always there.
Your area hub
The one that's actually yours — Richmond upon Thames, Hackney, Camden. Your borough's own conversation, sitting inside the city hub. Join both; they answer different questions.
And hubs you make yourself
City and area hubs are the map. Everything else is you. Start a hub for a running club, a residents' group, your café's regulars, a hobby that only makes sense with people nearby, or the shop you run. Same tools, same neighbourhood — but it's yours to shape, and it lives alongside the official hubs rather than buried in them.
Local hubs
Two kinds of hub, one neighbourhood
Tap one to see it in action — a permanent home for an area, or a pop-up for the things happening in it.
Bring Localz to your area
Not in your neighbourhood yet? Pledge for it.
A local chat room with three people in it is worse than no room at all — so we don't open one until enough people want it. Nothing to pay, and a pledge isn't a commitment to anything: it's just you saying you'd show up.
Pledge your area
Drop a pledge on your borough or city. No approval to wait on and no forms — just say you want it, and see how many others already have.
Hit the tipping point
Every area has a number to reach. Hit it and the hub is scheduled and opens — so the room you walk into already has people in it.
Be a founding member
Everyone who pledged joins as a founding member the day the hub opens — first ones in, shaping the conversation from day one.
Your neighbourhood is already talking.
Find your hub — or pledge to bring one to your area — and see what is happening near you.
