We're Kestrel

Building the UK's most loved city app. One that puts people, planet, and local business first.

Our Story

Kestrel was born from a simple frustration: why do you need five different apps to get across your city? One to ride, one to eat, one to scoot, one to shop, one to send. We thought there had to be a better way.

Named after the British kestrel — a small hawk that hovers with incredible precision before striking — we built a platform that's fast, local, and surprisingly powerful for its size.

Launched in London in August 2026, we're expanding city by city, partnering with independent restaurants, local farm shops, and community businesses. Not just chains. The real high street.
