Is there Free WiFi in London?

Can you suggest places in London with a free WiFi access?

Or maybe a wiki with a list of such “geek friendly” locations? Recommendations for cafes where you can buy coffee and get some time of network access would work too.

We will spend this weekend in London (arriving Friday evening) and one thing that surprised me last time when we were there was that it was hard to find a place with wireless internet access, not even talking about free access. Was expecting something more like SF Bay area (I wonder why) where free wifi is in every other cafe.

There were some places like a cafe in Chapters where you can buy coffee and get wifi access, but even then it was not working properly. We ended up going to one of the “internet farms” as you could call places where many people are crammed in small space full of computers w. internet access. It got the job done that time, but a relaxing cafe would be so much better.

Hopefully you can recommend something. The main area of interest is between Marble Arch and Covent Garden, but any such information can be useful.

I'm pretty sure that the Pyke has free WiFi (password on leaflets that, last I saw, lived on the end of the main bar).

It is also very quiet during the day.
