What I think of as real British eccentricity (any real eccentricity) is marked by being wholly unselfconscious, it is not done for show or effect it is simply the way a person lives, dresses, talks etc.
I wasn't sure if the photograph you used was supposed to illustrate eccentricity - but to my eye the whole place looked too controlled, tidy and MUCH too clean. If there can be a common feature of eccentricity I'd say it was lack of attention to cleanliness.

Glad to see another Weird Walk fan! If you haven't, check out Grimoire Silvanus...very similar in feel

Fine writer and reader of Substack—we are starting a movement to get a poetry section added to the platform. Can I ask, are you with us?
