Leicester Square: Unplugged

Leicester_Square_by_night.jpg
Great news for wifi fans who don't mind the risk of laptop snatchers. The whole of Leicester Square is going to be a free wireless zone from tomorrow.
No longer will you have to purchase a coffee, a burger, or confusingly priced vouchers to access the web. The free connection, 'Four's Free Hotspot', has been set up by the Leicester Square based PR and marketing firm [Four Communications] in a bid to create an area anyone can visit and keep in touch with work, family or friends or just surf the internet for information.

Finally, a good reason for Londoners to enter tourist town. And an ironic turn of events, given that everything else in the Square costs three times as much as elsewhere.

My arse. Very weak signal from within All Bar One, which is right in Leicester Square. Now who would really use their laptop outdoors in a major tourist thoroughfare?

I agree. Can't even see the SSID and I'm right by the Leicester Square station as I write this.
