Weird UK questions:

1. Free or low-cost Wi-Fi in Cardiff. I have my own laptop, but I need to know where I can pick up a signal and loiter for hours. I'll buy as much damn coffee as I need to.

2. For that matter, free or low-cost Wi-Fi in London. Same as above, particularly near the British Museum, Canary Wharf, Brick Lane. God, that says so much about me it hurts.

3. Is there some roaming hotspot thing where I can buy remote access for like a set period of time and be connected wherever? I'm explaining this badly, but they had it in Switzerland and it was cool.

4. Day trips from London for non-drivers. Especially ones that make sense on Saturday or Sunday. Are France or Ireland actually viable options? What about Stonehenge? Help, help.

If you do Stonehenge, I highly recommend hiring a tour guide who will drive you all around Salisbury - white horses, Avebury, Silbury Hill, etc. I can't remember if the tour we did left from London or if we had to make our own way out there by train, but either way it was worth it. There are also buses that just go directly to Stonehenge and back, but Stonehenge, honestly, was the least cool thing I saw on that trip. (They've had problems with graffiti in the past and you can't get really close to it so it feels like visiting a museum. At Avebury, you can go right up and touch the stones.)

Bath and York were the other day trips we did when we were in London last. Edinburgh is just barely doable if you leave *really* early in the morning. For Paris, there's the Eurostar, but it's pricey.
