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.
