Called BT MyPlace, the free service, described as a "pocket concierge" is now available from any wireless device using the BT Openzone outdoor Wi-Fi network in central London and the West End.
After registering preferences such as favourite food, shops or activities, users are sent nearby recommendations based on these favourites and their location.

MyPlace is being launched as a 6 month free trial.
