I was once told that I would either have to put something on my feet or depart in the National Gallery. Last summer I had no problem at the...
Frayed white jeans. I like the contrast with sun-tanned bare feet. Even better if the tops are a bit grubby (the feet, not the jeans).
Took the train down to Brighton for the day yesterday to see the Gay Pride parade followed by a wander round the town. Weather warm rather than...
A barefoot cyclist spotted today in Camden. Stopped at traffic lights he had one bare foot on the ground and the other on the pedal. No barefoot...
One actually in the Market, two nearby on the main road and the other one in Parkway. Agreed - time was when you always saw barefooters at the...
However I have seen more barefooters this summer than for many years. Counting only people walking along the street with no footwear in sight...
Happened to me a few years ago at Waterloo. As though it was the first time I'd ever used an escalator barefoot! Also a few years ago a policeman...
Same here. Walked barefoot up and down Portobello Road on Saturday, and on Sunday visited the Hornsey public library and then went by bus and tube...
Bus and tube to Camden, lunch in Wagamama's, shopping in Morrison's, all footwear left at home. Despite the glorious weather and the ubiquity of...
Very nice video. I've been to the Carnival a few times, though without barefoot sandals (or any other sort of sandals!) About twenty years ago I...

The nearest I've got to this was a nine-day trip by sea and rail to Scandinavia a few years back. Didn't take any footwear at all with me. I was...
Went to see A Doll's House at the Young Vic on Wednesday. A rather older and more formally dressed audience than usual at London theatres (a...
Agreed. There's nothing quite like being out and about with the footwear left at home. Even better to make a trip to another town entirely...
Thanks, Madesh. Maybe I was just unlucky. I'll try it again next time
Just shows the illogicality of these people. Putting on flip-flops appparently miraculously cleans your dirty feet! Bouncers are often a problem...
It's good to see so many positive comments about bare feet in London from visitors. As a native and resident I agree entirely. Today I spent an...
Blue jeans ripped at right knee and frayed at the ankle so feet were clearly visible, grey vest (British usage) under unbuttoned denim shirt....
It's great that you've had the courage to raise this topic, Madesh, which seems to be taboo in some barefoot forums. I certainly get mildly...
