The airports do have it but you're almost certainly going to have to pay
unless travelling business class and then it is free in the lounges.


There are a number of Wetherspoons bars at LHR, both landside
and airside. Don't they offer free wi-fi?


Surprisingly it appears not. I've just checked the Wetherspoons website and
none of the Heathrow outlets list Wi-Fi as one of the facilities available
to customers. Mind you that ain't saying much, according to the website the
Kings Ford in Chingford has Wi-Fi and sure enough any wireless equipped
device can see a "The Cloud" provided connection. Sadly it's utterly
impossible to connect to it. Reporting the matter to any sort of management
in the pub gets you a shrug and a "yeah, it's a bit **** isn't it". Given
I've been reporting the problem since October I don't think it's going to be
fixed anytime soon.
