It's been all over the news, every corner you turn people are talking about it, whole days are being lost by people who can't keep their eyes off their phones. No, we're not talking about Brexit/our new Prime Minister, something much more important…

Pokémon Go is the latest craze sweeping the world, and now the location-based augmented reality game is available in the UK. The mobile app uses a phone's GPS to allow you to see Pokémon characters superimposed into the real world.

With that in mind, we went on the prowl to see which creatures could be captured around the West End.
