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.
