Good places with free wifi in London

I thought I'd start this post after swopping mails with Sam Sethi over at TechCrunch UK

What free wifi places in London can you recommend. Ones I use are:

- Foyles Bookshop (good coffee too)
- Institute of Directors (OK, you need an annual membership, but WiFI is free after that

Any others?

(PS I also use a Vodafone 3G card, its far cheaper than paid-for WiFi but you do notice the lower bandwidth sometimes)

foyles is ok but they have big notices up saying "you can't sit here" if you wish to use the wifi and you end up cramped on about 2 stools looking out of the window or standing up when i've tried it.
nice juice and the musics good tho.

In Fitzroy St and Charlotte St behind Goodge Street Tube there as many unsecured networks as you need.

Best coffee at the pizza place on the corner of Goodge St and Charlotte St

There used to be a wifi hotspot called streetnet or "the technology mile", running from Angel tube station, along upper street to Highbury & Islington tube, then down Holloway Road to Odeon cinema.

Islington council and Cityspace (the technological experts who run streetnet) can't stop blowing their own trumpets about it even though it generally doesn't work, even if you are standing directly under one of the nodes.

Phoned Cityspace many times trying to figure out why they can't get it to work, they didn't seem to understand and said things like "have you enabled the wireless in your pc?".

Cityspace couldn't run a piss up in a brewery.
