    Brilliant episode! The streets are noticeably empty, very sad to see London like this.

      I expect this is the case in every major city. The city will bounce back though. Stay safe

      Thank you for the kind words Monica, happy you are enjoying the content. It does have that ghost town feeling lately for obvious reasons and very its interesting to see how Central London looks without tourists.

    Dewyne I hope to visit London one day and have a pint with you. Simply brilliant. I love your work. You love them angles and as you capture the front of stores and motorways, you never miss an opportunity to highlight the movement of time and space. Great juxtaposition of new and old. Wonderful soundtrack as usual. Yeth Thar has such a British feel. That's only was I can explain it. Bravo my brother. Can't wait to catch up on all the other new videos you posted.

      Please do! And, thank you for you the sentiments my friend. Seems that pint will have to remain virtual for now in these times we find ourselves in. Stay tuned as I imagine you will.

      @@LondonDistricts ​ @London Districts Always a joy to see your videos. Hey I wanted to also tell you I discovered an astonishing fact the other day. I won't tell anyone here but I found out the true identity of that fantastic music composer Yeth Thar. I wish I can buy his 2 CDs on Amazon in America. Can you find out from Yeth how I can get my hands on them? Cheers!

    We just came back from 2 weeks in London, 1 of which was at the Rathbone Hotel in Fitzrovia. The Marquis of Granby soon became of 4:00 pint stop as it was just down the street. This neighbourhood is a foodie's dream.

      @@LondonDistricts At the time there was a temporary exhibit of outdoor architecture on Store Street, just off Tottenham Court Road.
      I was sleeping in the churchyard of St Sepulchre without Newgate, in Holborn. Everyday I used to limp across London to this exhibit (I'd lost so much weight my trousers had slipped down, and the crotch had flayed all of the skin off my inner thighs). There was library trolley of books and one of them was H V Mortons' London. I used to sit with that book for hours. Then I'd put it back and return and pick up where I left off the previous day. It kept me going.

      No way Bigwave, Yeth Thar is perfect for the video. Go back and watch the entire series and listen how the soundtrack flows with the visuals.
