Sorry i don't mean on the underground, i was thinking of all the coffee
shops and pubs a couple of years ago i was able to use completely free

I haven't seen an open wifi in months, all WPA now


Wetherspoon still has free wi-fi. At least until 27th November 2019.

Like most of Skys "The Cloud" outlets, it's only free for the first hour
then you have to pay, and of course you have to sign up and sign in
for the service.

That way they can say they are providing "free" Wifi


Nothing on their web site about a 1 hour limit.
