Costa Wireless
I like coffee. But not this much....
Finding free wi-fi access in London has been a challenge. BT OpenWorld, The Cloud and T-Mobile seem to have tied up most of the major hotels and railway stations. And so charge. And Mayor Ken has not yet splashed out on a City-wide public wi-fi access network.
So I have had to take refuge is a select number of Costa Coffee joints around the City. Starbucks in London seem to be pretty much tied up with T-Mobile. Access costs 5 GBP (approx $NZ14 per hour or part thereof). Plus of course the coffee. Some branches of McDonald's seem to have signed up with The Cloud providing free access. The thought of a discarded Big Mac (2 for 1 at present!) finding its way into my keyboard is just too much however. So Costa it has been.
Great coffee and free wi-fi access at selected branches. Definitely worth visiting when you are in London. Just go easy on the lattes though.

I've just had a look on the Costa website and they don't promote that they have WiFi in any of they branches...
Which ones did you find free WiFi at?
