That might be the problem - none of the Android apps I was using sent
me to a "landing page", so the whole exercise seems completely broken.

I don't know what "the whole exercise" means but my ancient Nokia phone
has connected happily since WiFi was launched so the infrastucture seems
to be working. What browser(s) did you use to try to connect?

I don't use a browser on my Android phone, the connectivity is required
by apps (like Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Journey Planners etc) which are
all free-standing.
