The EC1 LOCAL card is a new ‘smart’ card created especially for people who live or work in or near the EC1 area.

Once you have a card and have activated it, we’ll top you up from time to time with all sorts of free stuff and EC1 deals that will be worth at least £500 on food and booze over the next 12 months.

To start off with, the first 500 cardholders received a £50 tab for food and drink at Giant Robot, a bar and restaurant that opened in EC1 in May. These have all gone now so we're starting new joiners off with a £20 tab from now on.

We’ll make sure we organise other discounts and benefits at some of your other favourite places in the EC1 area soon.
