Router lending scheme

The router scheme project is temporarily paused. We kindly ask that all borrowed routers be returned for updates or upgrades.

We want to ensure Southwark residents can easily get online. That’s why we offer a router borrowing service for 4 weeks.

Apply to borrow a router.

If you’re successful, you can collect the router from the following libraries:

  • Peckham
  • Canada Water 
  • Walworth

The Better Broadband scheme will send you a letter telling you which library you can collect the router from. Getting a router is not guaranteed straight away because there are a limited number available.
