One of the greatest/scariest things about the modern world is that it’s possible to answer virtually any question in about five seconds with a smartphone and an internet connection. Yes, it’s massively reducing our brains’ capacity to remember information and it makes the job of pub quiz master a right pain in the arse. But it also means we get to take an entertaining peek at the questions that Londoners have desperately needed to find answers to this year, with a bit of help from Google. Here’s what you wanted to know in 2017.
