#213370 - 15/04/2004 14:33 Free WiFi in central London/Westminster?
mlord carpal tunnel Registered: 29/08/2000 Posts: 14496 Loc: Canada	This June/July, SWMBO and I will be in London for a week before I head over to Amsterdam and then Amersfoort. I hope to visit a lot of geocaches around London (see cache map), and it would be useful if there were some way to get cheap/free WiFi access in the vicinity of Trafalgar Square. Does this sound likely? Where? Cheers Edited by mlord (15/04/2004 14:35)

Check out BT OpenZone to get an idea of the current market for WiFi in the UK, I think it clocks in at about 23.5p per minute!!! Although I'm sure there will be cheaper options if you look around, most are tied into this scheme in one way or another. I always use the easyInternet cafe when I'm in London, it's cheap and easy. I don't think they do WiFi access Cheers Cris.
