Week 1 Blog Task - getting lost and flanerie

There are lots of ways to travel, I think flanerie is one of the best way to view a city deeply. As a overseas student, London is not a city that I know well. In order to know more about this city, I chose an area which I haven't been to, then tried to visit this area in a new way by getting lost.

I started form Cheltenham Terrace. I found some interesting patterns and textures here.




When I arrived Cheltenham Terrace, I thought it must be a quiet residential street. I changed this idea after getting to King's Road. 




I was so surprised. King's Road is a shopping area. It is just like a different world hiding in a residence area.



I think it's really interesting to look at the colourful houses. These colours must make people feel warm and comfortable.








When people visit a place they are familiar with, they may ignore the interesting parts of the area. After my visit today, I think getting lost in a place then viewing the details is a good way to get to know it.
