A new two-month scheme called Connected London WiFi is set to launch in Westminster, providing free internet access at over 50 locations. The initiative allows users to sign in once and connect seamlessly at various sites, aimed at addressing digital inequality among Londoners. Supported by Westminster City Council and Sadiq Khan, it seeks to improve mobile connectivity in crowded areas like Oxford Street. If successful, the project could become a permanent feature in the borough, revolutionizing access to online services for both residents and visitors.
We're not quite sure how Londoners managed before the internet. We'd be lost without our Apple Pay, and don't ever expect us to go anywhere without following the route on Citymapper.
The service is called Connected London WiFi. It aims to create a 'seamless roaming experience' and to tackle 'digital inequality' among Londoners by providing easy-to-access, free internet connectivity.
Westminster Council is proud to be the first council in the UK to launch a single sign-on wi-fi network spanning multiple operators. Workers, tourists and Londoners will all benefit from easier connections to faster mobile broadband.
Geoff Barraclough, the borough's cabinet member for planning and economic development, said: 'Every one of us has struggled to get high-speed mobile connections in central London, especially in busy areas such as Oxford Street and Covent Garden.'
