Londonist is a London digital publisher covering city news, what's on, food and pubs, history and free things to do, written for residents as much as visitors, holding no owned inventory and monetizing through advertising, sponsored features and merchandise. For operators, it brings high-intent London audiences reached through editorial listings of attractions and events.

Requesting a Londonist Connection
We're always open to new integrations. Londonist can connect to Ventrata directly through OCTO, the open API standard for tours, activities and attractions that Ventrata helped found. Once it's connected, Londonist could check your live availability and prices in Ventrata, and bookings, changes and cancellations made on Londonist would be created in Ventrata instantly, with Ventrata tickets issued to the customer.
To set up an integration project:
Introduce us. If you work with Londonist, send one email to your Londonist contact and [email protected], so both teams are in the same thread. Say which products you'd like to sell through Londonist.
We take it from here. Ventrata's connectivity team contacts Londonist, shares Ventrata's OCTO API documentation and test credentials, and agrees the plan with them.
Londonist builds and certifies the connection. Londonist builds against the OCTO API and passes OCTO certification, then Ventrata certifies it with test bookings. Most resellers finish development in 2 to 10 business days.
Connect and sell. Once it's live, Londonist appears under Connections → Connections, and you connect it like any other reseller.
If Londonist works with its own API specification rather than OCTO, we're happy to consider that too. We'll discuss the options with Londonist after your introduction.
📗 TIP

Working with Londonist in the Meantime
Until a connection is live, you can still sell through Londonist in whichever way suits you, for example:
Reseller Portal: let Londonist book your products itself through your Reseller Portal, so its bookings go straight into Ventrata.
Manual bookings: enter Londonist bookings yourself in the Backoffice, so your capacity stays accurate.
Through another connected platform: check the List of Supported Connections & Partners in case Londonist sells through a platform that's already connected to Ventrata.
