There are just eight buildings in west London with access to free public WiFi.

The free use of wireless internet is now available in five Brent libraries; The National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery in Westminster; and The National History Museum in South Kensington.

Among the other signature buildings in the capital now with free wireless internet access include The British Museum in Holborn; all three University College of London (UCL) museums; and the Royal Air Force (RAF) museum, slightly further out in Colindale.

As part of the UK Government's Superconnected Cities programme, free public Wi-Fi has now been installed in more than 1,000 buildings across the UK.

Helping to keep people connected in the most unexpected of places, the scheme has also seen WiFi installed on hundreds of buses and trams in nine cities across the UK: Leeds, Bradford, Oxford, Manchester, Salford, York, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Newport.

The latest figures from the Government show more than 3m unique users are making regular use of the service.

People are using the freely available Wi-Fi to grab the latest news headlines, check the weather, browse the Internet, send emails and use social media on their daily commute.
