One on Brockley: Toad's Mouth Cafe SE4 2RL It's just down from the station, does food and has a conservatory out the back. It's a bit confusing when you walk in but just go down the stairs.

Hi again, The Barbican Wi-fi is free it certainly works on the ground floor and the Waterside tce. Lost it on level 2 though. I'm writing this from the BFI it's free the username is bfi as is the password, another customer told me it, not sure how I would have found it otherwise. They even provide a desk in the foyer with 13A sockets if your batttery is flat. I can't VPN my work server though, its probably a zelous wire wall. Keep looking Neil.

Hi, I love the map, a great idea. I suppose you already know this, but Whetherspoon pubs offer free wi-fi to it's customers. http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/pubs/our-pubs-your-pubs/discover-wetherspoon.php#free-wifi As I'm a Cloud subscriber I've not tried the free access (they provide the service) but its seems to work for me.

Hi you all. I'm new in this blog. I'm italian. My brother is going to stay in London for about 1 year. I would like to understand if this hotspots are really free, or if someone want to use them has to drink something in a bar for example to obtain a code to access to the wifi. I hope my question is clear (my english is quite poor). Bye and thank you all.

This is a great resource; thanks! As others have reported, we couldn't find the expected free wireless in Leicester Square, and none of the three or four cafe workers we asked had ever heard of it. The map lists the Kingways Hall Hotel as having free wireless, but they don't; we're staying there now and they want to charge us quite a lot. The listing for Navajo Joe shows the marker in the wrong place; they're actually just a half-block or so down King Street, WSW from the Covent Garden piazza. Also with free wireless in that area is Muffinski's, 5 King Street.

Three more we discovered yesterday: - Legal Cafe, 81 Haverstock Hill, NW3 4SL - an odd place that seems to provide legal advice as well as coffee and very nice cheesecake - The Sir Richard Steele, 97 Haverstock Hill, NW3 4RL. Didn't try this pub out but the wifi is advertised - White Horse, 154 Fleet Road, Hampstead NW3 2QX. Nice place - the wifi didn't work at first but the staff were happy to reboot it for us and it was fine then. There was trouble getting a DNS lookup for Google Mail, but everything else worked.

Saw the comment re: Leon at 3 Crispin Place. The location on the map needs to be a little north of Brushfield Street. Crispin Place is a pedestrianised area lying just west of Spitalfields Market, east of Bishopsgate. Leon sits amongst a row of restaurants across from an office building. Might be a bit tricky to find if someone isn't familiar with this relatively new development. Also, Al Volvo at Hanbury Street is actually called Al Volo. Great map! Thanks!

Great idea. Thought this is worth registering for... I know about another free Wifi spot. It's in Southeast London: Jam Circus 330-332 Brockley Road Brockley SE4 2BT (close to Crofton Park Station) You'll get the password at the bar. The connection is sometimes flawed but other than that it's quite fast. Plus: there's also live music on Sunday evenings.

My mistake, the map is being updated (yeah! and THANKS!) A few corrections / additions: * The pub in N1 that has free wi-fi (and good pizza) is named 'The Regent' (not The Richmond); it's at the corner of Liverpool Rd and Richmond Ave. The address is 201 Liverpool Rd, N1 1LX Timeout reviewed it a few days after my post; here's their review: http://www.timeout.com/london/bars/reviews/12476.html * The Old Queen's Head has the address 44 Essex Rd (at Queen's Head St), N1 8LN Currently it's on the map but without an address Thanks again for maintaining the map!

Thanks for the map. I too have found the free wi-fi on Upper Street (Islington) hard to use. Very spotty and frequently drops out. Couldn't find the Mucky Pup shown at 39 Queens Head St (Islington). Doesn't seem to exist. There is free wi-fi at the pub 'The Old Queens Head' at 44 Essex Rd N1 8LN (cross street is Queens Head). http://www.theoldqueenshead.com/ Need to ask at the bar for the password. Also spotted a place in EC1 that displayed it had free wi-fi. Haven't used it though. It's 'Saki Bar & Food Emporium' at 4 West Smithfield, EC1A 9JX http://www.saki-food.com/ Disappointed with the amount of free wi-fi in London so far. Was spoiled by living in San Francisco previously.

Hi, I often go to my local library to study, and work and....use free WIFI! I'm surprised no libraries are included here. I go to Dulwich Library which has a large study floor area with sockets to plug in your laptop. I dont know about you but I simply cannot do any work or study at home so the library is a godsend and free. Apart from Dulwich there are 3 other Southwark libraries that also have wifi. I list them here and a link to Southwark Libraries Wifi page. Dulwich Library 368 Lordship Lane SE22 8NB Camberwell Library 17-21 Camberwell Church Street Camberwell SE5 8TR John Harvard Library 211 Borough High Street London SE1 1JA Peckham Library Peckham Hill Street London SE15 5JR About Southwark Libraries free Wifi http://www.southwark.gov.uk/YourServices/LibrariesSection/freewifihotspotsinlibraries.html This is the best wifi listing site I've come across by the way. Good work. Easy to search and Google map is to me the best Map engine around. But on here, zooming in is a bit cumbersome. Can you guys improve that because it should be much easier like on the actual Google map site?

I wonder if those coffee shops are okay with people using their wifi from outside the establishment.. This would be a great resource if it were available as a points of interest file file for my Garmin Nuvi 310d ;] nice work folks :)

... Oops. Anyway. I've never tried using the Humus Bros wifi, but there are often people in there with laptops so I assume it's problem-free. And the food's good, too (unless you don't like humus, of course)

Seconded on Ray's Jazz in Charing Cross Road (they really need to make the cafe and the shop bigger). Also the Apple Store in Regent Street (they also have plug sockets, and don't really mind if you spend hours there working - so long as you put up with the Apple advertising/propaganda*). Now that I am without an institutional home in London, I feel I will be trying out a lot more of these free wi-fi places. The key thing is (a) availability of power and (b) not being out-of-place. Call me old-fashioned, but if I'm in a pub, it's not the place to get my laptop out and work like it is in a cafe. M: I have used the Leicester Square wi-fi without a problem. It's not stunningly fast, but it seems to work. It's called something like "Four's Free Access". I used it on my Palm Pilot while waiting outside the Odeon Cinema and it worked, and it's also reachable (just) inside Starbucks. Perhaps we ought to have a central London wi-fi hunt day? Everyone get themselves a wi-fi detector of some sort and hunt through the city looking for places to park your arse down and surf the Internet. * Depending on your perspective on brushed metal and white plastic and the suchlike. Having bought in to the whole Apple thing hook, line and sinker (and can recite the many flaws nonchalantly), I'm pretty much immune to the aforementioned propaganda.

Have you tried using the free wifi on Upper Street? It's non-existent. Same with Leicester Square. I was there the day it was supposed to go live in the latter, and the only signal to be had was inside All Bar One...and it was the signal from the bar.
