Sandwiches from M&S, a bottle of water and a bench in front of anyone of the government buildings there. Seeing as the IT is more than likely outsourced to the cheapest bidder the wi-fi liable to be open

If you make it as far as St Martins Lane then I would use the St Martins Lane Hotel has wifi and a nice bar.

Thanks for that... and btw they're still renovating Savoy, doesn't really impress me too much at this stage, but very keep to see it when it's finished...

The Savoy should be able to sort you out if you want to impress, or the Thistle Hotel next to the station if you don't.

You'll be lucky, the only place that never seems to be heaving around there is the Burger King in at CC station.

The Strand Palace hotel not far from Charing Cross has a nice restaurant though.

My iPad beats your N900 because I can summon a spell of 900 flaming Apple fanbois from a nearby Oxford store.

Where would you recommend to meet for a business lunch, where it's quiet and has WiFi and table big enough for a pint and a iPad?

I've tried some places, where I like the food, but they have all been very noisy and busy...

Buy a smaller laptop - or maybe a Nokia N900...

Oi CM! I'd really like a Nokia N900, have I mentioned it?
