Phychogeography.




Knowing London alot more than I did in my first term I can relate to Phychogeography a lot more than I could. 
The term Psychogeography refers to the act of almost getting lost, it means to adventure somewhere by not using guidelines. By just using your head to navigate yourself when you are walking compared to actually learning your route, Psychogeography means to exlore your route instead.




I had an accidental adventure, I first went on the tube at pimlico, got off at green park like a normal trip home then I took the jubilee line to Westminster. I then decided to have a trip to Kensington of which I have never really explored. When I got off at Kensington High Street stop I just walked right up. Without knowing where I was it was quite therapeutic and calming. It was in the middle of the day therefore there wasn’t much hustle and bustle. 
I found myself at Kensington gardens. It was absolutely beautiful.










In London I think its very easy to build your way by signs and signals. 
However without the guidelines and restrictions I felt like I was in a completely different city walking around somewhere completely new.
