That's not true. St. Pancras station had some, but it was slow. The Ocabezi cafe ostensibly had some, but my phone couldn't get an IP out of it, and I didn't think to try my eee. Now, however, I'm at the Gallery Cafe. Phone outside got a web page though not ssh -- maybe I was too impatient; eee inside has both. 5 pounds 50 for pesto linguini, 2 pounds 50 for fresh squeeze orange juice, which isn't the best I've ever had -- not the ecstatic bliss Myfanwy got to laugh at the facial expression for near her home in San Francisco -- but good and definitely better than what Scholar's Bakehouse in Bton has been passing off.
It's more cafe than gallery, but I'm under a skylight with view of a nice garden.

BTW I'd been forggetting to tag my phone-blogged posts, so if anyone's been relying on the travel2010 tag I recommend checking again and going back a bit.
Last night, boat was fun but being in a loud pub with strangers wasn't so much, especially after the German girl left leaving a flirting couple and maybe another one. So rather than waiting for a boat ride back I asked for transport direction. I figure that if I can get to a tube stop I can get home, though the route looked roundabout. The bartender suggested walking somewhere to take the 55 bus, or going to another station for that, but at first I didn't feel up for a strange bus and street system at night. However, at Angel station it seemed that there was a bunch of work and delays happening, of uncertain magnitude, so I rode one stop and decided to take my chances with the bus. And it worked! Very crowded at first. Driver wasn't announcing stops but an LCD screen was, once I got a view of it. London buses are stretchy or double-decker; this was double but I didn't feel like going upstairs. Given how jerky acceleration was downstairs I fear what it felt like above. But I made my stop, and the neon glow of a strip club oriented me as to where I was within the intersection. All hail neon.
Today's plans: not sure. I spent a lot of time looking for places to live next. Got plans to meet more RPG.netters at 8.
It has rained every day except the one I came in on. Be difficult to carry my duffel and an umbrella.
