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.

When we were in London in '05, we did the London Walks "Jack the Ripper" tour. Our guide was a big-name expert and actually wrote a book on the subject. They had another on the East End gang wars that I was dying to do, but we didn't have time.

Hampton Court is a short (45 min) train ride from London, and there's a light rail you take across the river from Canary Wharf if you are of a mind to visit the Greenwich Observatory.
