Well, obviously Giffgaff isn’t going to be as good as the more expensive
carriers, but you really can’t beat £12 for unlimited data even if it is
occasionally quite slow ;)

I think they were around the South Bank / London Bridge / Chinatown area and
had unbearably slow speed. Perhaps I'm just too pessimistic about it!

Oh no, giffgaff basically doesn't work in London! I learnt it the hard way when
my family visited me last year. (I used to live in Cambridge where giffgaff is
great.)
This is because giffgaff is a virtual operator over O2 and a subsidiary of O2
(think of a flag carrier airline's budget branch) so giffgaff users need to
give way to O2 users in areas with many users. And in central London, it means
there's little or no data bandwidth left for giffgaff.
So expect your goodybag to give you nothing but a dumbphone plan.

I’ve just ordered a stack (30) of UK sim cards for Wikimania. This is a mix of
dual normal/micro sims, and also some nano sims..
They’re with giffgaff [1], and come with 5 GBP credit. If you get a £10
“goodybag” [2], it comes with 1GB mobile data and uk minutes/texts. Can get 4G
on it too.
International rates are at [3]
Oh, and you can contact anyone else with a giffgaff sim for free too.
I’ll be down in London from the 5th, so if anyone wants one, come find me.
