Gumtree
Gumtree was started in London in March 2000, initially as a community site, designed to connect people who were either planning to move, or had just arrived in the city, and needed help getting started with accommodation, employment and social opportunities. Gumtree flourished and was purchased by eBay in May 2005.
Gumtree is now the largest online community in London with sites all over the UK, and is also used by thousands more before they arrive in the UK. It is now London’s largest flat share and jobsite, with visitor numbers doubling every 6 months. It has now expanded to cover stuff to sell, dating and has a throving Forum.

2009 - a curate's egg?
We're well into 2009 now and although Armageddon has been avoided for now, many families and many businesses are definitely feeling the pinch. The weak pound is also making it more expensive to holiday abroard with only the Countries that also have weak currencies such as Egypt and Turkey being reasonably priced. What it does mean is that more and more Britons are holidaying at home this year. Expect the most popular destinations such as Holiday Parks and Seaside resorts to fill up more quickly - you should think about booking earlier to avoid disappointment.
Even so, everyone is cutting back and slashing prices to attract higher numbers of visitors. Keep an eye on these pages for updates and offers. Alternatively, sign up to our Newsletter. We will then let you know as and when the offers become available. Click here to sign up. Happy 2009!
