    The campaign also extends to Facebook with a brand new app, created by Yuki and Cergis, which allows users to browse the full list of suggestions for great things to do in London. As well as benefit from fantastic experiences under £10, users can also ‘check in’ at these suggested locations via Facebook places on their mobile, to be entered into a competition to win a fun weekend in London. The app will be populated with winning ideas submitted by readers through a Metro press and online competition to find the best things to do in the Capital for £10 or less, as well as Lastminute.com deals.

    To get users excited and talking about the campaign, Fiat will also unlock extra special exclusive deals & prizes via Lastminute.com when the page reaches certain levels of Facebook fans.
