The Asylum will be busy this weekend. Very busy. In some of the busiest areas it can be tricky to move, not just because there are so many people, but because so many of them are fabulous, friendly, and you want to talk to them - or if you don’t, the person in front of you does. Or they want to take a photo on their mobile phone.

The whole experience is beyond wonderful, but at the same time it can be a bit daunting. And nobody wants to get separated from their friends or family or lost.

If you don’t know about the amazing App ‘what3words’, this would be the perfect time to download it onto your phone. The App divides our home planet into 3 metre squares and assigns each one a combination of three words. Once you have the App you can use it to send your precise location to another person to arrange to meet up, or you can use it to find places with much much greater precision than using a postcode or even an address.

Here are some locations you might find useful over the weekend;
