How do I search a different neighbourhood by moving the map?

Sometimes it's quicker to drag the map than to type a new place name.

   On the search page, drag or zoom the map to the area you're interested in. A Redo search here button appears at the top of the map. The list doesn't change until you press it, so you can look around freely.

   Press Redo search here and the results reload around the centre of the map. The location box updates with the name of that area. The map stays exactly where you left it.

   The home button in the map controls takes you back. It also clears your filters. The first time, your browser asks if it can use your location. If you allow it, the map moves to you. If you'd rather not, it goes to central London.
