Free Wifi in Brixton

[nick h.]

Free wi-fi in Brixton in the mornings?

Is there any? Now that Coffee@Max has closed down I can't think of one.

McDonalds and Caffe Nero are listed as hot-spots on various sites but I suppose they're subscription only? All the free ones I know - the Ritzy, the Prince, Mango Landing - don't open until lunchtime.

What about the Lounge? Not that I want to go there.

Nothing wrong with the Lounge. There's free wi-fi there but you have to ask for the passcode (otherwise there's usually an unsecured connection you can find too). The Prince has free wi fi but you have to buy a drink for 40mins or so.

mcdonalds is free.you have to buy something obvs.

Can't face their coffee. Or anything else on their menu. But why not take a thermos of my own coffee and sneakily decant it into one of their cups?

SW9 is open form 10 I think and is free you just need the password from the bar.

Brixton Library?

 

[supercity]

Opus on Acre Lane and Negril (on the Hill) have free wifi, according to this lot http://www.jiwire.com/search-wifi-hotspots.htm?city_id=2131771

Do any of the bars in Brixton offer free WIFI for their customers (ie not The Cloud or TMobile bollocks)

In Herne Hill the following bars and cafes offer it

Half Moon
Escape
Pullens
Cafe Prov
Minosa

But I am damned if I can find anywhere in Brixton where I can sit and have a pint or a coffee and use my laptop without paying for it (apart from MacDonalds I guess which ain't gonna happen)

the albert?

Ritzy has free wi-fi, so does the Lounge (you have to ask for the password) and there's one you can access by Honest Foods. The Prince of Wales has wi-fi, but you have to buy something to get a 45min (I think) voucher. The Dogstar has erratic wi-fi.

Maybe more Camberwell than Brixton but still Lambeth - Sun and Doves on Coldharbour Lane offers it

I thought all Wetherspoons pubs offered it so the Beehive should?

 

[honto]

Mango Landin defintely has it, and back down nearer Herne Hill the Prince Regent does - both you just ask at the bar for the password.

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

The Van Gogh Cafe on Brixton Road does but I think they are closed for a while so it might not be available at the moment

 

[Tricky Skills]

The lovely Lido Cafe also has free WIFI. A very strong signal as well!

 

[Fingers]

Thanks guys. I now have new places to work in the afternoon when I am sick of being stuck in the house!

 

[twistedAM]

the Windmill does

 

[Pat24]

The Prince has free wifi too.

 

[Winot]

Also Opus (Acre Lane).

 

[flickerx]

Brixton Library is getting wi-fi in about three weeks from now, AFAIK.

 

[bluestreak]

The florence and bar 127 in herne hill also do.

 

[passivejoe]

White Horse.
Negril.

 

[Sesquipedalian]

Maybe more Camberwell than Brixton but still Lambeth - Sun and Doves on Coldharbour Lane offers it

Would anyone feel comfortable,
Getting their laptop out,
In The Beehive !

 

[editor]

It's hardly that unusual now, you know.

 

[flickerx]

Free wi-fi is up and running at the library, good signal upstairs at the desks.

 

[bluestreak]

perhaps we should start sharing the passwords?

I'm going to write a feature on the site about this, so if anyone knows about any wi-fo spots not yet covered (or can find any inaccuracies) please post up something!

I can conform that the Opus cafe wi-fi works, but the Ritzy's has been borked for the last couple of days. The Lounge was closed today so nothing doing there, but the Prince was open.
