The Famous Ones:

· The May Fair
· The Hempel
· The Metropolitan
· The Halkin
· One Aldwych (who proudly say they’ve never charged – a big gold star to them)
· The Baglioni (also offers free music and films, including, erm, porn, if you believe the rumours)

· The Independents:

· Dean Street Townhouse
· The Hoxton (our cheapo fave)
· St James’ Hotel & Club (if it’s good enough for Samuel L Jackson…)
· Chiswick Moran Hotel (free WiFi on the first two floors, but rooms only have a wired connection, which costs from £3 for 30 minutes to £15 for 24 hours)
· 41
· Egerton House Hotel (thanks to the Preferred Boutique group who told us about the last two)
· The Athenaeum Hotel: When Margaret Thatcher shacked up at this hotel overlooking Green Park, she was able to get free WiFi as it's complimentary to all guests.

The Chains:

· Radisson Edwardian, of which there are 10 in central London (so you can do your book club reading online at the RE Bloomsbury Street.
· Best Western – there are 14 in central London, and though they can’t guarantee the WiFi will extend to all the rooms, they say “many do” – including the BW Premier Shaftesbury Hotel in Piccadilly.
· Malmaison – you’ll find the London branch of the swish little chain in Farringdon
· Citadines Apart'Hotels, of which there are four in London: Trafalgar Square, Barbican, South Ken and Holborn
· Our perennial favourite Andaz
· Yotel (find them at Gatwick and Heathrow)
· Hotel Indigo Paddington and Hotel Indigo Tower Hill both offer free in-rooms.

Interesting fact: according to Yotel, nearly 70% of guests avail themselves of the free WiFi. Maybe if we start voting with our feet, the Ritz and co will take note.
