Affiliate disclosure
How The London Verdict makes money, in plain English.
This page explains our commercial relationships. We'd rather over-explain them than have you wonder.
The short version
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and book something, the retailer may pay us a small commission. You pay exactly the same price you would have paid otherwise. No recommendation on this site has been paid for.
How to spot them
Affiliate links open in a new tab and carry a sponsored tag in the page code, which is the standard search engines and browsers use. Any guide containing affiliate links shows a notice at the top of the article before you reach any link.
What it doesn't buy
Commission has no influence on what we recommend. Several of our guides advise readers not to buy things we could earn a commission on — the London Pass verdict is the clearest example. If a partner ever asked us to change a verdict, we'd end the partnership and say so here.
We do not:
- Accept payment for a positive review.
- Publish sponsored content without labelling it as sponsored.
- Let a commercial partner see a guide before publication.
- Rank recommendations by commission rate.
Which programmes
Where we link to bookable products, those links may go through affiliate programmes operated by travel retailers and their networks. If you would like the current list, ask us and we'll tell you.
Advertising
This site carries no display advertising and no sponsored placements. If that ever changes, this page will change first.
In plain terms
If a guide here saves you £60 and you book a hotel through one of our links, we both do well out of it. If a guide saves you £60 and you book somewhere else entirely, that's fine too — the guide did its job.
