rmWeird 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.

Date: 2010-04-08 04:11 pm (UTC)I also did a day trip to Edinburgh, which I wouldn't recommend. It was wonderful to see the city and castle but we were way too rushed--I'd definitely stay at least overnight if I were to go there again.
Oh, and I'm not sure if it counts as a day trip, but you can quickly take a train to Hampton Court Palace, which is beautiful and full of history and also has an amazing garden and hedge maze.
You could also try Oxford or Cambridge. This place organizes day trips to them and various other places, and also runs an absolutely fantastic collection of walking tours around London.
