I normally find myself in London at least once a week. But each time I go in, I have the debate of whether or not to take my laptop.
There’s plenty of Wi-Fi – mostly paid-for – in Central London if I have the laptop. And there’s the increasingly down-at-heel EasyInternetCafe right next to Victoria Station if I don’t. I also have the excellent GoToMyPC installed on the laptop so I can get at everything if I don’t have the machine with me.
But there’s a problem.
GTMP runs too slowly on the antiquated hardware at Easy to allow me to do much more than use Outlook. It’s not GTMP’s fault. I’ve used it from more powerful hardware and it runs a treat.
So I need some alternative Internet access. But have you tried to find an Internet cafe recently? In London, they’re as scarce as hens’ teeth.
The only alternative I’ve found in SW1 is the facility in Victoria Library, but it’s not a cafe, so it’s nowhere to spend any amount of time between meetings.
