Free public Wi-Fi has been rolled out in town centres and shopping areas across the borough.

Waltham Forest Council has rolled out the scheme at sites in Leyton, Leytonstone, Highams Park, Wood Street, Bakers Arms, St James Street, Chingford and Chingford Mount.

The scheme was rolled out following a trial in the centre of Walthamstow earlier this year. Anyone with a smartphone or tablet is able to get online and in minutes.

To connect, look for the network _FREE_WF_WiFi when in one of the covered town centres. You’ll be asked to register with your email address before being able to connect to the internet.

Once signed up, you’ll have two hours uninterrupted connection before the session ends. You’ll be able to sign straight back in again once the two hours is up and pick up where you left off.
