My preferred name (if it's different from my username): Kerry My last urban ramble/adventure was: I think it was the last Tubewalk, which was in NW London. My next urban ramble/adventure will probably be: Gosh, somewhere in NW11 or SE something, probably. I like spontaneous weekend afternoon walks so it is likely to start somewhere I'll be already. Favourite type(s) of urban environment: Streets that are not too crowded and have interesting architecture (pre-1900 especially) or history. I am very appreciative of London's blue plaques and similar "ooh something neat once happened here" markings. Favourite type(s) of constraint (for those who like putting constraints on their rambles): I don't enjoy constraints as much as some people (not that there is anywhing wrong with that!), but I do like ending in a pub. Cities/towns I've explored (and how): Lots of ways (because I have lived there!): London, Portland OR; on foot: Vienna, Frankfurt, Prague, Derry, Edinburgh, Oslo, Copenhagen, Cordoba, Granada, Seville. I like to walk around places I am visiting instead of taking public transport, so everywhere I've visited really, but those are ones I have dedicated more than two days to exploring on foot. Cities/towns I want to explore (and why): I'd like to go farther east and south, especially Moscow, Tel Aviv and Damascus. Three things I tend to notice when I'm wandering through a city: Residential buildings, eateries, neighborhoods shifting in character.
