EXPERIENCE

To begin with, the focus of my first project “Cultural Interfaces” is human-centred design, especially the engagement with people from different cultural backgrounds. As the project manager, I might say the empathy and interaction with our partner community is invaluable for this project. Then, the focus of my second project “Urban Mobility” is system-based de-

The Question driving the research asks: How can digital technology address different cultural activities, aspirations and attitudes?

Background

Caribbean Hindu Cultural Society

Visiting the Community

Our partner community is Caribbean Hindu Cultural Society. Our research plan for this project was based on the double diamond model. To begin with, we started this project from desk research about Caribbean Hindu Cultural. It includes two parts; Hinduism and Indo-Caribbean heritage.

The CHCS has been the first Hinduism and Hindu culture organisation in South London since it is established in 1959. The objectives of the CHCS is to promote Hinduism and to achieve the advancement of education particularly in Hindu traditions and philosophy, history, language, literature, art and music. According to the interview with the CHCS members, they are from a mixed-culture environment. Their culture originates from Indian, and then become influenced by Caribbean and London. There are about 200 members in the community, and most of them are pensioners. Basically, they speak English as the common language and the main purpose they join the CHCS is to socialize.

We visited the CHCS to participate the weekly activities, such as the Senior Citizens Club. There were about 30 people participating this event, and only 10 of them are female members. We met and talked with them, hearing from their opinions, sharing the ideas about the brief and technology. One of the key findings is their attitude toward technology is conservative but they would be willing to use technology to keep in touch with beloved family and friends. Also, the atmosphere of this community is very friend and open-minded to different culture. However, they were hoping to have more young people with them. That is the most important thing at all.

The mission for the discovery phase is to understand the expectation from our partner community, the Caribbean Hindu Cultural Society.

Cultural Probes

Summary

Meanwhile, we carried out the in-depth interviews with Vidur Dindayal and Sabita Dindayal, and then interviewed Kumarie Gheerawo. Vidur is the rep from the CHCS and he was an architect. Kumarie is an educator who has been teaching for 50 years. By interviewing these three people we did get a lot of insights and then understand the leading direction of this project. The core finding from this interview is their intuition to get young people involved in their community. Also, it’s important to understand their attitudes toward their origin, culture, religion, technology, and the next generation. Based on the interview, we decided to regard harmony as the theme of this project after being inspired by Vidur and Kumarie. How to pass down the traditional value of Hindu culture, from the elderly to the next generation is the main insight we got at this moment.

In order to get insights from the CHCS membersm, we came up with a series of cultural probes. It included a questionnaire, a diary about different topics like society, generations, and locations. They go with an envelope with mail address and stamps. Also, we also provided image cards, a map of Caribbean with stickers, a mockup of a smart phone, colourful labels about functions and imaginations for an ideal device. Besides, we personalized this toolkit to fit different interviewees like the elderly, the educator and the young in the following research phases.

After going through the discovery phase, we understood the Caribbean Hindu Cultural Society members’ expectation for this project is to get more young people involved in our community. According to this understanding, we took further actions to achieve this goal.

Target Group

In-depth Interviews

Summary

Following up the expectation from the CHCS members, mainly the elderly, we needed to think that how we could get young people involved in their community. Therefore, we had to understand young people’s attitudes and opinions. Therefore, we turned to research the young generation in the definition phase. Since it was a London based project and it focused on Hindu culture, we broadly defined our target group as people with Hindu or Indian background, aged from 18-yearold to 35-year-old. The mission for the definition phase is to explore the thoughts and attitude from the young generation with Hindu or Indian background.

Next, we carried out in-depth interviews with 9 young people with Hindu or India background. At this stage, we gather insights from conversations and then reflect upon on the CHCS members’ expectation. At first, we focused on what’s the meaning of Hinduism for young people? Therefore, we asked questions such as, if you are a Hindu, how deep the religion is connected with your life? Could you give us an example? Furthermore, we were trying to compare the different attitudes and thoughts between the elder CHCS members, and the young Indian people. For the young generation, the meaning of Hinduism has already got changed.

According to the research for the young generation, we understood that the meaning of Hinduism had become modern and even a family culture. Hinduism represented their home, origins, even a way of life, more beyond the religious meaning. Take the most important Hindu festival, Diwali for example, BBC Religions said: “The Times of India summed up the modern meaning of Diwali:

Regardless of the mythological explanation one prefers, what the festival of lights really stands for today is a reaffirmation of hope, a renewed commitment to friendship and goodwill, and a religiously sanctioned celebration of the simple - and some not so simple joys of life.” Therefore, we focus on the “cultural religion”, especially music, after the definition phase.

“To find out something in common with generations from Hindu or Indian background is the key.” 7

Local Study

Co-creation Workshop

Service Prototyping

After building up the initial design idea about music, we went back to Streatham, where the CHCS is located in Brixton, doing research about the surrounding areas by the Caribbean Hindu Culture Society. For example, Streatham is split by the A23, a very busy main road. And there are beautiful parks along the road, the Lambeth Rush Common Parks, which are maintained by Lambeth Council and there sometimes are outdoor activities in this park during summer. Here could be a good location for CHCS events. Also, we visited local communities and organisations. For example, 198 contemporary Arts and learning provides art courses in Youth Lambeth and they also focus on multicultural art exhibitions. We met Kareen, head of creative learning, to talk about cooperative opportunities.

In order to make a trial to our initial idea: “music brings people together”, we did the co-creation workshop with the Dindaya family. We found that music is the common interest across the various age groups in the community. This co-creation workshop inspired us to design a demystifying device for the elderly, and a digital platform for the youth, and we could hold events to unite those two generations. This workshop also helped us to define the problem statement: “How might we create new communication between the elderly and the youth through exploring Hindu music?”

This is an 8-week project, and after the 6-week research, we would like to have an experiential design prototype to try and see if we could communicate our appeal, to promote Hindu culture with our target group. Hence, we applied social media; setting up a twitter called Hindu Stories, and then posted posters around colleges. We would like to enhance people’s perception of Hindu culture and tried to find the best way to connect the CHCS members and the young generation.

Show and Tell Companion is a campaign that unites different generations through co-creating and sharing Hindu music. Value Propositions We developed a campaign named “Show and Tell Companion” to bring the elderly and the youth together. It included of a digital device customized for the CHCS members, a digital platform for young people, with an online competition “Show and Tell: A Taste of India in 60 Seconds” to share clips or music works. Eventually, there would be a pop-up cinema that brings different generations together in the Rush Common Parks near by the CHCS, to show all the works and tell your ideas with participants’ family and friends.

Digital Platform We develop the website. This is just the starting point for all the activities and events. We hope to provide a platform where the youth and the elderly can enjoy, share, even co-create music. First, click the button; you can listen to the CHCS Hindu songs. Also, users could use the sounds of instruments to compose your new songs, or upload their own clip about Indian culture. This digital platform is accessible for young people, but it challenges the elderly. Hence, we developed a customized device for the CHCS members and we would explain it in detail later.

Co-creation We take different approaches for the young generation and the elder generation. According to our interview, all the things the elderly need is the access to their hobby. This digital device enables the CHCS member to share their music with the young people. On the other side, a digital platform is accessible and attractive for the youth, so that the different generations could co-create new Hindu music together.

Sainsbury’s Bakery

How could Sainsbury’s celebrate the cultural diversity in London by providing customers a broader range of baked products with matching groceries? Background

Vimeo Video:

After the successful completion of two projects with the RCA, Sainsbury’s decides to develop on the bakery category because Sainsbury already have set aside budget for a transformation of their stores for this category, and because the category is sufficiently profitable to enable experimentation in customer experience and the potential introduction of innovations requiring significant additional investment. The project would involve the design of a new retail concept and related format that integrates grocery shopping, in-store baking, and the café experience and its prototyping and test in Sainsbury’s Park Royal retail laboratory in West London. Successful execution will lead to a pilot and roll-out in up to 300 stores across the UK.

Detailed Briefing

Unique London Demographics

Summary

In the beginning of this project, we got a detailed briefing from Kevin Barrett, Sainsbury’s Director of Space and Formats. During the meeting, he mentioned about the ethnic demographic customer profile. “ We do consider emerging ethnic trends in this country, and how we could deliver a better ethnic proposition.” This quote became our starting point.

According to London’s Poverty Report, it indicates: “Around half of people in Inner London are from an ethnic group other than White British. In Outer London around 40% are not White British.” Also, we interviewed some customer, which are from Asia, Europe and Middle-Eastern Countries, and invite them to taste kinds of baked products from different ethnic backgrounds and share their feedbacks with us.

We would like to focus on developing ethnic baked products in response to Sainsbury’s customer ethnic profile and the emerging ethic food trend. Also, London is a metropolitan city, which has 12,000 restaurants from around the world. The unique London demographics shape the atmosphere of this city more open-minded and multicultural. There are so many ethnic food lovers in the city and how could we respond to their potential need without compromising Sainsbury’s capability and brand value?

Store Visits

Facilities and Equipment

We went to visit different kinds of Sainsbury’s stores, including of one superstore in Northampton, one superstore on Cromwell Road, one Sainsbury’s Market near Victoria Station, and other local and convenience stores around central London. The store visits helped us to understand the capability of Sainsbury’s in-store bakery and opinions from frontline staffs.

Baking is a magic of mixing flour, yeast, salt and water, and then it could produce a remarkable variety of baked products. At this phase, we’d like to figure out if Sainsbury’s baking facilities and supply chain would be able to produce different ethnic baked products. Therefore, we conducted in-depth interviews with bakers and staffs in two Sainsbury’s in-store bakeries.

Also, we went to other supermarkets such as Waitrose, M&S, Tesco and ASDA. We analysed the current market, and we decided to keep Sainsbury’s brand value “Live Well for less”, keeping the established price promise with existing customers, but provide a broader variety of baked products to attract new customers.

Definition

Development

Take the Sainsbury’s superstore in Northampton for instance, the kitchen prepares and bakes “baked-off” and “scratch” products daily. Also, all the bakers are trained in the Sainsbury’s Bakery College opened in 2010. This Bakery College is quite successful and then there are 6 more Food Colleges opened in 2011 after that. Sainsbury’s definitely has the knowledge and capability to produce various baked products on their own, so that would be the reason why Sainsbury’s are not keen to cooperate with any local bakery so far.

Interviews with Colleagues We met Sainsbury’s colleagues from different departments in headquarter, and the frontline staffs in stores as well. One important insight is that many frontline staff s could speak different languages and some of them are not native English speaker. This situation is more apparent in London than other suburb around the UK. Therefore, if we focus on designing a new customer experience based in London, we could think about how could we create the atmosphere of theatre around Diwali, the festival celebrated annually by Indian population, as an example.

Summary Another important insight from the interview is how Sainsbury’s testes new products. We met about 5 staffs in Sainsbury’s superstore in Northampton, and we found there were in-store baked Scottish crumpets, Scotch pancakes and sultana pancakes selling in trial. These are new products original from Scotland. They are sold in Scotland and then Sainsbury’s put these products in the 12-week trial in only 30 stores around the UK. The products were very popular and sold out in the early morning, but there was no campaign to promote these new products in trial.

To summarize insights and findings from both discovery and definition phases, we’ve known that Sainsbury’s has the willing to develop a variety of ethnic baked products for customers, and Sainsbury’s has the capability to product these products on their own with the existing equipment, ingredient and bakers. Hence, the next step is to explain our concept with heads from Sainsbury’s and discuss about the hoe could we implement this idea.

Visual Identity We develop 12 coloured Sainsbury’s International logos that represent different cultures all over the world throughout 12 months a year. Each monthly event has a distinctive colour and a sticker following its cultural pattern. For example, we design the Middle-Eastern sticker based on Islamic pattern. Also, we developed one sticker for Diwali, the most important annual festival from Indian culture, and another one for Scotland.

For monthly events, it could be: February for Chinese (Lunar New Year), March for Irish (St Patrick’s Day), August for Caribbean (Notting Hill Gate Carnival), November for Indian (Diwali), and then eventually we bo back with December for British (Christmas).

Moving Sampling Station The location of sampling station moves depends on peak hours throughout a day. In the morning, it stays near the entrance in order to attract busy pedestrians on the way to work. This sampling station also provides them a convenient choice of breakfast with freshly baked products and reasonable price. During the lunchtime, the sampling station moves to the food counter, where Sainsburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colleagues prepare sandwiches. Hence, customers such as housewives or food lovers could see the booklets and posters in this area.

Moving Sampling Station The inspiration for this moving sampling station comes from street venders in Asia. We hope to create the atmosphere of festivals by a cost-efficient way. Therefore, a modular, foldable, easy-to-assemble sampling station comes to our mind. It could be detached to the food counter easily and Sainsburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colleagues could move it depend on customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; need and different formats of stores. The customers could recognise the sampling station by the colour-coding signage. Also, on the table of sampling station are the arrows which indicates the shelves of groceries for making a houmous sandwich.

Colour-Coding System The colour-coding system provides customers a cohesive shopping experience. First, it informs pedestrians the campaign “Sainsbury’s International” by the promotional video and sampling station. Second, customers could find out the colour stickers on the package of ethnic breads and sandwiches, and then follow the colour stickers, they could find promotional items in-store and make the meal on their own.

Package Design The package design also follows Sainsbury’s current design discipline but we add new inventions based on our research. To begin with, the package of sandwich shows the groceries that customers could buy in stores. Also, we apply traffic lighting food label with the understanding of the new food label regulation in the UK.

Eventually, we add a QR code linked to Sainsbury’s live Well for Less website to encourage customers to find out more information. Secondly, the package of in-store baked bread follows the current packaging made of plastic and simple paper labels. We use our distinctive colour for the package design so customers could easily recognize these products are from the monthly campaign “Sainsbury’s International.”

Booklet Design

Khobez

Ramadan (Muslim Holy Month)

We come up with a booklet named “Bread Profile” in order to highlight the stories of the ethnic bread and the monthly cultural event. For instance, when we celebrate Holy month in July, the booklet is for introducing Khobez and Ramadan (Muslim Holy Month).

Hello, I am Khobez the famous Arabic bread. I am just like my bread family, mainly made of wheat, water and yeast. For a sandwich, I’m healthier than my toast brother, because you only need to have one slice of me rather than two slices of toast. I am best served with some of my favorite friends in the chart.

Ramadan is the ninth lunar month of the Islamic calendar and it is the holy month of Islam. During this month all Muslims fast during the day and break their fast upon sunset. This is one of the only times where all the family gathers over one meal because everyone breaks their fast at the same time. It is a time when family gathers in the kitchen to prepare food and gathers later to eat it.

Colleague Engagement

Customer Engagement

We found out the front line staff could speak different languages and we would like to develop this point in order to improve the colleague engagement. For instance, during Diwali, there would be a staff with a name card “I speak Hindi. I celebrate Diwali” to serve customers from Indian background. In our case, we have Admir who speaks Arabic to serve customers in July.

For customers, our service “Sainsbury’s International” aims to serve all the customers whoever you are a busy workers or a housewife. The core idea of Sainsbury’s International is to please all the people, including colleague and of course customers first.

There are different touch points throughout the service, some of them are very easy to achieve, such as the colour stickers and reusable bags, which may be attractive for female customers. The monthly reusable bags are designed for branding purpose as well. Moreover, other touch points such as moving sampling stations and the promotional screen functions to satisfy different customers’ need.

Urban Mobility

With demographics in London changing rapidly, how can the future elderly be encouraged to take new bus journeys in 2025? Background

Exhibition

The face of London is changing with the population becoming bigger and older. This demographic change and rapid urban growth presents a challenge for London and a transport system that is already running close to capacity. The aim of the project is to assist Transport for London (TFL) by providing a future invention with existing service to improve urban mobility for communities that are most challenged by current systems.

Changing Demographics

Mobility in London

Future Elderly

We consider the changing demographics in London as the starting point of this project. The population is ageing. By 2031 the number of people aged over 65 (older people) in the United Kingdom is projected to increase from 9.7 million to around 15.8 million. The number of Londoners aged over 80 is projected to increase by 40 per cent over the next 30 years, rising to 352,000 by 2031. Therefore, in this urban mobility project, we have tried to explore the needs of the elderly as a starting point for improving mobility services in London.

With the improvement during the London Olympics in 2012, London is able to offer the first class transport system to commuters and tourists. But at the same time, as London gets more and more crowded, the strain on current transport and mobility systems is increasing. We discovered that even though the population is forecast to age dramatically in the future, current government policy in transport is not in proportion to the number of elderly that are going to require a fully functional and accessible private and public transport system.

Based on the above research for demographics and transportation in London, we focus on behavioral differences in the current elderly (aged >80) and the future elderly or “baby-boomers (aged >60 who are now reaching retirement) at he end of discovery phase.

Development

We have tried to explore this in detail, and then develop the possible situation for the future elderly – they would be the first ageing generation with the understanding of rising IT technology ever. Hence, we begin with this user group to propose an initial idea that is accessible to all in the following stage.

The mission for the discovery phase is to understand the current problem existing in the demographics and transport system in London. 44

Street Interviews

In-depth Interviews and Shadowing

Summary

The London suburb was chosen as a location for street interviews as it is has many very good bus routes and was therefore thought to be an ideal location to observe and interview the large numbers of old aged pensioners that live there and mainly use buses. We interviewed six elderly, aged from 52 to 88, and try to understand their attitude and daily activities with public transport system.

In order to get deeper insights, we take in-depth interviews and shadowing with four people, aged from 52 to 80. They were all given design probes and their journeys were mapped. For instance, Tim (55) mentioned that he is a man of order and routine. That’s the finding that the middle age and the elderly get used to a regular life. Also, we especially focus on two ladies: Ino (80) and Joan (63). Comparing with these two ladies, Ino and Joan have the distinguish differences between the understanding about technology. As Ino said: “I speak three languages but can’t handle technology, not even my basic mobile phone.“ Otherwise, Joan mentions: “I can’t imagine a life without mobile technology like GPS anymore.“

With the ageing years, the baby boomers would face the same difficulties about physically impairment as the current elderly; but technology might assist them to conquer this problem and even social isolation in the future. After in-depth interviews, and mapping with different journeys, we found the elderly prefer to use the road transport system and follow a routine life. At this stage, we are starting to thinking about how could we help the elderly to take new road journeys?

Expert Interviews 2

Insight Analysis

Paul Marchant - Head of product design for TfL

Joe Kerr - London bus driver and RCA tutor

Paul pointed out that there are many ongoing projects at TfL but these take time. Improving existing services is possible as TfL put a lot of their data out into the public domain so anyone can utilise it for developing technology solutions such as new apps. The Olympics for instance were a landmark event for TfL. It proved that a lot can be achieved in a short time if there is a common goal. The Olympics were also an opportunity to think of the transport system as an integrated service solution rather than just infrastructure. At TfL there is a 5-7 year incubation period for the implementation of new ideas.

During an interview and co-creation session Joe opened our eyes for how important information delivery is for people and the seamlessness of their journey. Regrettably the bus countdown system is being replaced due to cost by new technology which necessitates a smartphone or the internet to access up to date bus information.

After interviewing with these two experts, we reflect upon our project at the end of definition phase. First, The future elderly will have the normal physical constraints associated with ageing but with young mindset and high expectations of life. Second, the journeys they undertake will change from need-to journeys (work, shopping) to want-to joureys (leisure).

Third, they may be socially isolated as they age but will still want interaction, entertainment and community on their own terms. And eventually, they are ’creatures of habit’ and feel comfortable in travel routines. They feel reassured with familiar routes.

In the end of definition phase, we focus on helping the future elderly to reduce social isolation and inactivity. 46

Stakeholder Analysis Here is the Stakeholder Map. TfL is non-profit driven but is under significant amounts of political pressure. This is one reason why they invest more in rail services than surface services as the former generates a much bigger income. With this understanding, we consider commercial partnership and advertisement in this development phase. Business Model The business model is based on the public sectors, bus stop maintainers, technology companies and local sponsors. The most important key partner is Transport for London (TFL) and London Boroughs. These two public sectors corporate with JC Decaux, or Clearchannel, to main the Spark Stops. Also, technology companies like Samsung is response for the interactive screen and the Oyster Circle digital platform. Eventually, each local Spark Stops are sponsored by local brands as Twinings or Harrods.

Sparks is a service to encourage the elderly to embark new journeys by the invention of bus stops and a digital platform. Value Propositions Project “Sparks” includes two inventions: the transformation of current bus stops, and the invention with TfL digital platform. First, Spark bus stops are re-imagined bus stops that are community centres instead of waiting points. They are sparks designed to ignite and connect a local community. The sparks concept will be supported by a digital platform — OysterCircle — that recommends and plans new journeys based on personal interest, thereby offering the opportunity to connect with likeminded users.

Spark Stops Spark stops remain unique and iconic London red colour, and mark a local community. The Spark stops will initially be localised in particular areas within a London borough. Ten iconic Spark stops close to tourist attractions or high frequency places across central London. The bus shelter is a modular construct of which one side wall can be creatively designed. This should be realised by local sponsors, for example, Twinings with a tea lounge. So that, a Spark stop is to provide an appealing space that supports social networking and community building.

Spark Stops Spark stops are smart travel hubs. These bus stops will have interactive smart screens and users are able to get relevant, live and tailored transport information, such as the arrivals and departures, disruptions on relevant routes as well as interesting information about the area. Also, there are smart Oyster touch-in points. Old passengers often fall when buses move off before they are seated. Less able people sometimes have to wait standing for a seat being vacated. This information then will be communicated through a sound system, so that bus driver and other passengers are prepared.

Health Care

How might we improve the relationship between patients and receptionists of the NHS health care system? Background Introductory Project: One Service in the Brand of Another It’s a one-week icebreaker project in the beginning of service design programme. We should identify one service that was extraordinary and one service that was poor during our service experience in summer. And then, we have to re-imagine the poor service transformed by one of the top service providers. Eventually, we show the service ‘journey’ from identifying the need for the service to completing the service provision, and the key touch-points and attributes.

Service Safari We conducted the field research, such as service safari in Palace Surgery. Also, we did the desk research, referring to the article “GP receptionists are invaluable” and so on. Therefore, we discovered three main problems in the current NHS service: the booking system without feedbacks, unwelcoming receptionists, and the uncomfortable waiting area. With this understanding, we’d like to look into another brand study, trying to compare these two service experiences.

The focus areas we’d like to improve are: the booking system without feedbacks, unwelcoming receptionists, and the uncomfortable waiting area.

Brand Study and Interviews The brand study was about the best traditional ryokan in Japan, Kagaya. We analysed customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experiences in Kagaya, comparing the ideal Kagaya service with the current NHS service, and then think about how could we transform this extraordinary experience into the NHS system. Also, we had interviews with a doctor, receptionists and patients at this moment.

Insight Gathering and Brainstorming In this development phase, we came up with the problem statement: How might we improve the relation between patients and receptionists of NHS healthcare system? During the project, we shall describe both service experiences visually, perhaps using metaphor, photographs, mood-boards. Therefore, we visualised our ideas and reflections, and did the brainstorming and idea generation together. And then we built two personas, including of a patient and a receptionist, to illustrate our idea journey.

Kagaya GP improves the relationship between patients and receptionists through the redesign of booking system and waiting area. Value Propositions The idea Kagaya GP would provide a better communication between patients and receptionists through the redesign of booking system and waiting area. In details, it includes five parts: first, patients could get feedbacks after making an appointment via text message. Second, Kagaya GP provides receptionists with enough background information about patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; booking status and health condition in advance. Third, Kagaya GP has a new waiting area with welcoming atmosphere. Four, receptionists and patients could get informed updated after the doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treatment.

Background Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a one-week collaborative project with vehicle design programme from Royal College of Art. Inspired by the success of London Olympics, both in terms of showing off the very best attributes of the city and the impressive performance of Transport for London (TfL), the Mayor believes that TfL could play an important role in promoting Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tourist industry. Our mission is to design a service experience for tourists and envision the supporting transport infrastructure and/or vehicles required to fulfill it.

Key Findings Our team members are two international students, one from China and another from Taiwan. As new residents in London, we reflected upon our own experiences to develop concepts. We embarked this project by three key findings: overload choices, complicated journey planning, and natural personalization. We considered these three problems could be solved by a smart twist: gamification. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to make the complicated journey planning, which includes different modes, real-time information and way finding system, fun and easy for first time visitor in London.

Roleplay London begins from the personalized journey planning according to usersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interests. Once the user registers this service, the system will analyse usersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; activities on social networking as Facebook or Twitter, and then suggests the best route for users. Then, the Roleplay London provides users personal mobility, so that they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be limited by public transport system, and could explore unknown attractions around London. Finally, users get printed bespoke postcards as the best ending of their journey. Roleplay London serves customers an all-in-one experience that tourists could enjoy their stay in London on their own.
