> Visit our sister site LondonDailyDeals.co.uk for group-buying offers

You may have noticed such group-buying sites such as MyCityDeal or Groupon spring up recently. These sites offer really good discounts on products or services, but these are usually only offered for a limited period of time, and the deals will only be activated if enough people sign up for the deal. Conversely, some deals have a limit to the number of customers that can buy it at that price. With so many different one-day deal websites around, we thought we would set up LondonDailyDeals.co.uk to aggregate all of the deals out there, so you only have to visit one place to check.

> Get a free month’s membership to TasteLondon
Taste London is a membership club offering discount dining at many London restaurants. The idea is that you pay for a year’s membership to the club, and it allows you to dine out at one of their restaurants for a discount, often half price or buy one get one free for main courses. While they have a long list of restaurants participating, most of them offer half price or BOGOF discounts through the free booking website TopTable, rendering this membership somewhat useless.

However, TasteLondon are offering a free month’s membership with no obligation to continue; you don’t have to provide any credit or debit card details so its strictly just a one month free trial if you so wish.

> See Film First
Want to be invited to preview screenings of movies before they are publicly released in the cinemas? And want to watch them for free?? See Film First is a company that works on behalf of all the major movie companies to hold preview and premiere screenings of upcoming films and movies. The reasoning behind is that they want to gauge consumer feedback to the movie by asking a few questions afterwards. Seems like a good deal to me; get to watch a movie for free before anyone else does, in exchange for giving some feedback afterwards! All you have to do is to sign up to be on their mailing list, and whenever they have preview screenings they will email you with a code which you can use on their website to get the free tickets.
