A Walk from Leytonstone to Mayfair

camcorder document of a walk I took in June 07 from Leytonstone to Mayfair in central London via Kings Cross and Islington. This was probably not the shortest route but I had intended to end my journey at Housman's bookshop but the psychogeographical literature I found there inspired me to push on till sunset

Hi John. I've only just discovered this film of yours. It's excellent, just what I'm looking for as I'm doing a lecture on de Certeau's 'Walking in the City' in a couple of weeks. Thanks, Tina R

@embran Woburn Walk just not far from Kings Cross Station running parallel to Euston Road. Wonderful street.

I used to live in Leytonstone, but I'm in the Staes now. I wanted to find something that took me back to my London days, and this was so perfect! Beautiful music too. I miss walking through London - the depressing stuff and the beautiful stuff. Thanks for capturing it all.
