Prepaid SIM card for data in London

Question

I need to buy a prepaid SIM card with internet connection in London just for 6 days.

Any suggestion and prices?

How many cups of internet will you be needing? (The best SIM for someone who wants 5mb is likely to be very different to that for someone who's going to chew through several GB!)
I just need a basic internet data plan (200Mb, 300Mb) to use Whatsapp and maybe google maps if needed.

Finally I got a 3 (http://three.co.uk) SIM for 1 pound and unlimited traffic data for 15 pounds.

You can get a 10 pounds - 500Mb plan too.

All of these things as a prepaid plan and working in less than a minute.

You get a ticket with a code to set your SIM card credit and that's all. Take a look at their plans here.

	Where did you buy the sim itself? In the Airport or some where in the city? – Arik Fraimovich Oct 6 '12 at 7:39
	I bought it in Victoria Station. The first place I saw when I arrived in ;) – zapico Oct 6 '12 at 12:01

offer the best deal. Make sure you double check before you buy/top-up though, because these things tend to change really quickly.

giffgaff offers 500 MB of data for 5 pounds, which ramps up to 10 pounds if you also want 250 voice minutes and 1 GB.
