Touchdown! London Hotel Blog Campaigns For Free WiFi, Calling Out the Bad Guys

November 29, 2011 at 4:31 PM | by | Comments (4)

What do we want? Free Wifi! When do we want it? Now! Such are the chants heard from London blog London Hotels Insight, who has been pushing for some of the city's most prominent hotels to bite the cost and offer guests free wireless connection. The site's "Free WiFi 'Touchdown' Campaign" has gone official, turning occasional online griping into a full-fledged rallying cry.

This isn't the first we've heard from LHI, who previously published an open letter to local hoteliers with the same complaints. A practice of "naming and shaming" tightwad culprits has been active for some time, with luxurious lodgings the likes of the Ritz, the Dorchester, and the Langham among those called out for their exorbitant fees, often hovering in the £20 range per day.

Rather than solely pointing fingers at guilty parties, however, the 'Touchdown' campaign will give props to the "good guys," those hotels that are doing right by guests and supplying them with access to the World Wide Web free of charge. Writers from the site have also vowed to "personally visit different London hotels and test out their free WiFi" (#OccupyLobbies?) and report back the results. Stay tuned for more on this mini-movement, and check out our own catalog of Where to Find Free Hotel WiFi in London.
