thanks dostoyevsky, but i need the info on FREE access...

There's always Starbucks...

i really do not know anything, but starbucks has free access then?

No, Starbucks isn't free.

Last Summer (I've not checked since, as I live in the centre of London and have my own wireless ...) the area all around Oxford Street had free wireless; it should still be there. Just go to the east half of Oxford St (between TCR and Oxford Circus tube stations), open your laptop, and give it a go.

No, he's lying.
How about checking Starbucks' website if you don't trust him.

Lots of free wifi spots in London cafes, courtesy of Google. Keywords: free wifi london cafe.

We were there in November 2007, and Mc Donald's was offering free internet.

Not as nice as a coffee house, but works in a pinch...and you know where you can find one!

Have a look:

McDonald's Offers Free Wi-fi Internet Service in 1,200 U.K. Outlets

thanks all. i was at starbucks in front of bond street tube station yesterday and they did not have a free wireless. while i did not have much time, i did not make it much further... i think i will try mcdonald next time. hope it works... thanks again

Try this...

thanks devo. it seems real promising, but i just do not have much more time to check it out. i'll use this next time, for sure. regarding mcdonald, it was available but was sooooooooo slow, it was practically useless. thanks again.

More a wine-bar/bar but Corney & Barrow offer free WiFi and they are across the City and some bits of the west-end.
