London Psychogeographical Association

London Psychogeographical Association (LPA) is a fictional "association" created by absurdists.

The term was originally used by the British artist Ralph Rumney. A fictional and non-internally consistent history of the group accreted over time, including the dissolution of the "group" into the Situationist International in Italy in 1957 and the expulsion of Rumney from the SI on the pretext of a tardy "psychogeographical" report.

Another fabrication, called the East London Section was "founded" around 1994, by Richard Essex. This group, it is said, took a "psychogeographical" trip to Roisa's Cave in Royston and issued a LPA Newsletter which continued till issue 21.
