London Eccentrics is a compendium of bizarre, flamboyant or difficult Londoners. Living or dead, rogues and fantasists, drunk or sober, notorious and obscure all human life will be here.

This is not a guide book of heritage London. There will be no tourist kitsch, no cute survivals of Victoriana. Instead this blog documents those who really don’t care what others think of them, and those who broke with the conventions of their time. Some may have been great visionaries; others will have lived their lives in vain. We cast no judgement. New contributions welcome.
