The Anglian Flaneur-Exploring London and Beyond
What is a Flaneur? Flaneur is a French term for a type of urban male or female "stroller", "lounger", "saunterer", or "loafer". I prefer the term "stroller". That's what I do. Please join me on my travels.
My main focus is London, where I work and was born and raised. Occasionally, I will venture into the towns and villages of East Anglia, which is where I now live. I love East Anglia. Also, I will film my football team Ipswich Town from time to time. Wild swimming and cricket are passions also. But, my heart is 100% London-its history, its streets, its people, its buildings and its business! Berlin also appeals.
At work, and in my lunch break, I will wander out into the streets of London with no fixed destination other than a number of loose plans. I try and summon up the spirit of the Flaneur, observing what is around me. East, West, North or South and the City of London. I try and avoid the Tourist hotspots. Every street in London has a story to tell! That's my motto!
