Before Jess Stodart, or any one else in the same position rushes off
to subscribe to a commercial internet provider, I would recommend
taking a look at the Institute of Historical Research. I know hte IHR
provides access to the internet for affiliated students, and I presume
this would be via JANET and therefore free.
I am not sure what the IHR charges for membership to visiting
researchers, but if you're going to be in London for any length of
time, it's the best place to meet other grad students and academics,
and it has an extensive seminar programme, library, coffee bar etc.
