01

Picks, not everything

Yuniversity doesn’t list everything. Every place is a Pick or a skip, in the guide’s own words — and the order is the guide’s, never a commission’s.

02

Says what to skip

Telling you what’s good without telling you what isn’t is half a guide. The skips are marked, so you can find them before they find you.

03

First-hand, or research-led

Every guide says whether we’ve spent our own loan there in person or built it from current sources. No pretending either way.

04

Dated, corrected in public

Every guide shows the day it was last checked, and every fix is logged on the corrections page. Prices move; so do we.

The money rules

£ 01

Affiliate links, labelled

Railcards, banking, broadband, tickets. If a link earns us money, it says so next to the link — and never inside a verdict.

£ 02

Sponsors, marked

One “Supported by” slot per city, at a flat rate, always inside a dashed box. Sponsors buy visibility, never words. They don’t see a guide before you do.

£ 03

Deals, free to venues

Discounts we negotiate for you at places that already earned a Pick. A deal never makes a place a Pick, and never changes the order.

£ 04

Picks, never for sale

No venue can pay to be a Pick, to rank higher, or to remove a skip. The trust is the product; the money lives around it.
