Since launching our guide to London's wi-fi pubs it's proved to be a hugely popular resource - and so we have updated it, included more pubs, maps and the handy list below to help you navigate.
You can browse through the full list of wi-fi pubs here or follow the links below to specific pubs for more details.
And we still want your input so we can make this list even longer and more detailed. So, if you know of a good pub in London which offers wi-fi to its customers, send us an email and let us know.

But we need to know which ones are free (like Corney & Barrow); and which ones demand a credit card a extortionate fees! (Ed note. We think you'll find most of the reviews mention who the providers are, eg. The Cloud, T-Mobile, BT, or whether, in the case of the Harcourt Arms, they are free.)

London's all very well, but 85% of the population don't live there. How about some other places?

Free wifi needs to be listed up front. I don't want to trawl through all the pubs listed to find the free ones, it needs to be listed in the title. The free wifi pubs will attract the customers and get the other business but make it easy to be identified!

How come Peter Cochrane is reporting free Wi-Fi access all over China and we in the UK get ripped off for it? Why not start a UK-wide list of FREE hot spots. I suspect it wouldn't be very long - not the ones that mean to be open to the public anyway!

As a Brit living and working abroad I have been staggered to discover on recent trips to London that wi-fi is charged for at all. In Prague where I am currently based, wi-fi is everywhere and always free. Of course you can subscribe to your own wi-fi connections, but nobody does and the bars, restaurants and coffee houses that make free wi-fi available are packed with people with lap-tops. These places also provide the powerpoints, which I note London pubs and restaurants don't. I even had one waiter suggest that i should pay to plug my lap top into their power supply!
