| Sumario: | A study was conducted to examine the multiple forms of temporality and spatiality that emerge out of and influence urban pedestrian movement. Data were obtained from interviews and from fieldwork undertaken in London, England, thus providing a “timely” empirical engagement with theoretical understandings of time and space. Findings of an examination of the multiple temporalities of urban walking indicated that individuals developed an awareness of the experiential dimensions of time when they are made to wait. The issues pertaining to physical mobility difficulties were explored in the context of highlighting the multiple spatialities of walking. The use of temporal and spatial concerns by individuals for framing their identities with regard to who they are in relation to others was also analyzed. Findings revealed that notions of rhythm provide a productive way for engaging with how time, space, and identity interconnect as people walk. Findings are discussed in detail.
