Londonist website launches Wi-Fi locating iPhone app for Londoners

One of our favourite London websites, The Londonist, has just launched their own iPhone app displaying cafes, bars, restaurants and other places offering free Wi-Fi.

Location aware

The online magazine for all things Cockney and Landahn first documented the capital’s Wi-Fi services three and a half years ago as a web-based Google map, and have based the new app on their original map, bolting on geo-awareness to help folks hook up quicker.

The app lists venues offering Wi-Fi services without any charge, loyalty requirement or membership – athough you may need to ask behind the bar for a password in some places.

The difference with this app is that The Londonist contacted each restaurant and coffee in London shop listed in the app to confirm that the details are correct up to Aug 2010.

Additionally you get access to Qype reviews for each listed coffee shop/ pub/ restaurant to make sure your informal business meetings go down well.
