It is a tool I have often thought would be useful. It's tricky to get the questions right but this is pretty good. I think extending it to the rest of the country will add a lot of complexity- like how far away is the nearest station, can I even get home deliveries etc.

It would also be handy to name a place (maybe where you live) and see what filters would get you there, and then fine tune the filters.

[Edit] Oh, and what political parties the MP or council are!

That's a nice idea re using an existing place as a starting point. I think some users won't have a clear idea as to exactly what they want so making it easier to "browse" could be helpful.

For the most part extending to the whole country shouldn't be too difficult (famous last words!) -- most of the data sources I'm currently using aren't specific to London. But I think I'll probably first go deep rather than wide, allowing the user to look at areas at a more granular level should they wish to.

Politics is on the todo list as well!
