Spoonfed

The smart, definitive guide to what's on in London

Spoonfed officially launched on November 20, 2008 but has been in development since Henry Erskine Crum and Alexander Will first met in an abstract maths class at the London School of Economics in 2004. At university they tried to take advantage of London entertainment but poor event listings inspired them to create a solution that could truly connect individuals with great events.

With the support of the university they took a year off, set up an office in a basement and cooked for early Spoonfed volunteers. The next steps for founders Henry and Alex were building an editorial team of knowledgeable Londoners, designing the Spoonfed website, and yes, even finding the time to return to LSE and graduate from university in 2007.

Since then, Spoonfed has progressed through alpha and beta development stages, fine-tuned the technology, built the Spoonfed community and made it easier than ever to find out what's on in London. Our office, no longer located in a basement, is now in Old Street, London and home to the growing creative and energetic members of the Spoonfed team.

Throughout the journey the founders have been mentored by Kevin Eyres who became Chairman of Spoonfed in July, 2007.

Alexander Will and Henry Erskine Crum

Co-Founders

Henry and Alex founded Spoonfed while at LSE and enjoy every minute of working in a start-up. Out of the office, Henry can often be found in a field near Malmesbury and Alex generally has a tennis racket or cross word in hand.

Joe Harrod

Head Editor

Joe knows what it takes to run the best events coverage and editorial in the city with a handful of staff - plenty of tea and biscuits. And regular cake.

Meaghan Fitzgerald

Marketing

Meaghan joined Spoonfed from San Francisco, California. Now in London she can be found exploring the city, drinking tea or attempting to see every performance at the Globe Theatre.

Stephen Best and Julian Keenaghan

Developers

While not posing together for photo shoots they use their wealth of web development experience to maintain and improve Spoonfed's technology and user experience.

Eugene Panaitov

Developer

Eugene is an elder of Spoonfed, he existed even before Spoonfed launched. Eugene is in Russia now so it was a bit difficult to find similar hi-tech building for the photo.
