Internet Cafe

Used to be a necessity when it was easyInternet, but now overpriced.
The alternative is to take your unlocked smartphone/​iPad to the guy just inside the door and ask the cheapest way to get internet access. Cheaper and much more convenient.

Internet Café is an expensive, but nice place to get on the internet if you’re net-​less on Charing Cross Road. An hour costs two pounds, but the glory of this place is that they give you a ticket and if you don’t use up all of your time in the first sitting you can come back another time, use the code on your ticket and sign in again in the future whenever you please. Doesn’t sound complicated at all does it? Well, if you’re a chronic loser of things like I am then this situation doesn’t work out too often. That receipt is guaranteed to be lost unless I superglue it to my forehead.
This place also does Western Union transactions, has a copymachine service and sells tobacco and regular off licence items.
