isn’t it amusing how about 80% of the population born and raised in the UK dont see london as this because we’re too busy rushing and not caring but other countries see this as magnificent? i need to start appreciating my city more
I live about an hour away from London and I've been there when it's raining at night and the lights reflecting on the ground, cars going by, big buildings towering over you, it's so beautiful, i haven't travelled much at all but I think London will always be one of my favourite places, even with all its problems.
@@dustinhiggins710 lol so true! But it goes deeper, maybe people in a 3rd world country take their house for granted and don't realize that a homeless person thinks they're so lucky to have one. Or a job.
These videos are so transporting. They are like meditations. I love the tiny snippets of conversation you get as people pass by. Like glimpsing something through a tiny window then it’s gone.
100% agree! So grateful for all this man does to bring his videos to us, rain or shine; all inclements of weather. Can't thank him enough! I am just so glad the day I came upon his videos and have been hooked ever since. May God keep him safe.
I love how everyone's doing their own thing, all of them from different paths in life, some from completely different places yet they are in London either getting some food or just having a walk about, and if you're from London and watching this you can just imagine the smell while he's walking around. Wholesome :)
As someone from America, I really wish we had cities like this, NYC is kinda similar but it still lacks the history and culture that cities in the UK have.
NYC was created by the British after kicking out the Dutch Settlement in South Msnhatten. Named after James Duke of York later King James II. It's no surprise the atmosphere is different. London is 2,000 years old NYC only really got going in the 19th century. You can't buy time.
@@ds1868 "London is 2,000 years old". Majority of the buildings aren't, so I don't really see what's the point of writing all that is. "NYC only really got going in the 19th century." Uff.
@@cyberpunkdenton9497 quite a lot of it is several centuries old though. American cities bulldoze and rebuild all too often where as European cities protect their heritage.

@@danielmessi1092 From Dusseldorf, down the Rhine, along the Mosel, across northern France, ferry to Folkestone, through southern England to Gatwick. Took a little over two weeks, in September 1995. Great experience!
@@finleytobinjones It was a once in a lifetime experience for me - I have my brother to thank for the idea and for doing all the communicating along the way where my english-only language ability would have made things difficult.
Everytime I ain't feeling myself and need to refocus and relax, I come to this video. Smoke a joint have the AC on with my air purifier and put my headphones on and start to appreciate everything while watching this. I just like how everyone is with their day in this weather and the city looks amazing.I'm not from London but there's just something about this video that gets to me; Hope to travel to London one day in the future especially when it's this type of weather :)
I was born in London and have lived here all my life. Sometimes I hate it and it can be a hard place to live, but there is no denying it’s magic, especially in the rain. Even though I’m still in Soho from time to time , there is something about seeing it on camera that really evokes memories of amazing nights out and of people who are sadly no longer around. Thank you 🧡
have to agree with you on the love/hate thing. Sometimes I want to move away. Looking at this video today though; just WOW, such a beautiful area. I haven't been around there since the pandemic began, so maybe it's a bit of nostalgia kicking in.
I lived in London for six years. I love walking in the city. So full of history, class, grace and beauty. It will always hold a dear place in my heart.
Thanks a lot. It never occured to me that watching someone's POV while walking casually in the streets can be so enjoyable and relaxing. Sometimes you don't know what you like until you come across it.
i'm from india ❤ i hvn't imagine that london's streets will be so so beautiful and relaxing nd this rain made london so much pleasant i was enjoyed a lot❤❤❤❤ thnxx for this adorable vdo❣❣❣❣🤗🤗🤗
I lived in London for the past 6 years but had to return home last year due to Brexit and downsizing of the company. I miss walking these streets in my spare time. Thank you for sharing :)
Man, this took me back to over a decade ago when I used to live in London. I lived in Maida Vale and Dollis Hill. I saw bus 98 in this, used to be my bus to go to Maida Vale and later, Willesden Green. From there I would walk to Dollis Hill. 98 and 16 were my favourite buses. I used to take long walks like this all over town as well. The amount of Nostalgia in this video is almost suffocating!!! Haven't been there since my last visit on April 2011. I hear the city has changed a lot. Every now & then I see London in my dreams though. In my dreams, I walk around town just like this. I just walk and walk and walk, without a destination, just enjoying the city.
How lovely that sounds, 'without destination'. I shall do that when next I get to visit London. (In California now, despising the lockdowns. 😭) Thank you for the idea! 🥰
I lived in London for 22 years and came back home to NZ a couple of years ago. I love the fact that this videos can take me there , I can feel every sense and smell without having to actually live there any more. I love London , and no I’m not bored of life , it’s just that it has a shelf life and after 30 minutes of watching this I can safely say I’m very happy to be back home in NZ , even if I cant pop to soho anymore , I can go there in my mind and now thanks to you , on RUclips ! Thanks so much for posting , it gave me a little 30 minute holiday from the comfort of my own bed.
Fantastic video - so atmospheric. There's something magical about London in the rain. As a born and bred Londoner it's one of my favourite things about our great Capital.
One my favourite and funniest moments happened in Soho while it was raining - I was around 12 and my grandpa took me to see an art exhibition and walk around (this neighbourhood is one of his favourites). We were walking by a road - he was on the shop side I was closest to the cars - when a taxi went by fast and splashed a puddle all over me. Because of how we were walking I covered the blow from him - he found it hilarious while I was soaked and grumpy. I look back on it and it’s my fondest memory with him :,)
Thanks for the toddle, that's what I miss about London. Puts me in mind of me and mum dashing down on Christmas eve in the 50'a down Northend road last knocking to get the last bits!
London in rain is so lovely. But I think filming this was not an easy job for you. Thankyou! Sir, for dedicating this much to give us this kind of amazing experience.
Although I said rainy days make me sad, I enjoyed this virtual walk in the rain in London. It's really the people that make a place come alive and thrive. Wishing everyone safety and good health! Thanks for this video; great camera work as usual. I tried to look for those darn logos - but it's a challenge! 🤦♀️👍
I so enjoyed this. I've been visiting London since 1995 and of course traveling now is quite different for Americans so I won't be visiting this year. I was impressed by the couple with the lady having a smoke and a drink outside under the umbrella with her date. That's the spirit- a little water shouldn't stop you from enjoying life.
You do realize London isn't that rainy. It has less rain than san Francisco, Barcelona, new York, Miami, Houston, Sydney to name a few. It's very cloudy though.
thank you for this video, i am in isolation for a while and for some reason I cannot leave my room most of days. Going to the big city is like luxurious. Sometimes I go view google map, rather than my window because it is the same view. London may be daily to some people, but to me, it is like a far far away dream. So looking at this is really comforting.
It is more than 20 years since I was in London. It's nice to rediscover this wonderful city in this video. The quality of the video and audio is breathtaking. Continue with this great work. Thank you so much for this video and the great impressions of London.
I spent about a year in London studying English. During that period I had a very emotional feeling to see the rain. we became friends,(so to speak) and loved it so much. I rarely used the umbrella because I am from a country where there is very little rain. Seeing this video brings me back to those beautiful days I spent in London. thanks walker.
@@jackwhitehead5233 It has always been a dream to visit London again. The city I loved walking in its streets. But if I return to it, will I enjoy the Latin music that emanates from its narrow streets? I think I should visit London to find out the answer .
I never see such a beautiful place in my life like london, it is amazing i pleased with this place i fall in love with the rain 🌧️ that shows me how to live a life happily. Thanks for sharing this video.
I live in Islington and haven’t been any further into Central London than where I live since I was told to pack up my desk 7 months ago. So strange seeing it all now, just a few miles away yet so distant. Can’t believe it’s been 7 whole months since I’ve been there after going there every week for 20 years.
This video brought back good old London memories .. i was lucky to have my office just 5 mins away from this place .. each day after work , this used to be my routine traversing through the lively London streets eg -Oxford street/Bond Street .. used to start from one place and without realising would end up another place .. thats the beauty of London i guess .. u cud map the entire Central London and all major attractions on foot which i believe is the best experience you could have
I love the rain, it makes me feel great, it relaxes me, I just love it. I love the rain, it makes me feel great, it relaxes me, I just love it. Unfortunately in my country it does not rain much, but watching these videos the truth also make me feel better. Thanks a lot ❤️
It's my dream to walk on these streets on a rainy day and to eat in a cozy aesthetic restaurant on a cold Snowy day. My friend told me that it's raining there right now. Oh how I wish I was there. Everyone who is living my dream Stay happy and healthy. Sending you love❤😊
I lived in London 30 years ago, I miss it if I see this, even the rain! I used to walk around a lot in this area, I worked at 'sweet centres' candy shop in the Trocadero building while I was doing my internship as a fashion designer. Those days were awesome. I wish to come back soon!
Looks beautiful, through your video, we living in other parts of world got a chance to see London. Its the lights, people who are lighthearted and doing their own stuff unmindful of others, the beautiful buses which are curved, the lights, their reflection, wide and narrow roads which both look beautiful, the rain splashing sounds, no dangling electric cables!! think electric cables are underground, all roads with drainage covered and closed, its a magical sight to watch even in video, thanks for sharing
@@pooja350 These pretty streets don't just come out of thin air, it's a sign of a strong economy and a developed nation. No Independence to be rich? sign me up
Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa. Never been to London but after watching this it's going straight onto my bucket list. Breathtakingly beautiful.
Lovely video. Mixed levels of serene, tranquility and sadness. Almost like a noir film genre. Really brought back memories of my shopping days at Oxford Street ages ago. Wish I could be in London again. Sad to see the homeless sitting in the rain though.
I miss London so much, especially here in quarantine (I'm from Germany). Can’t wait to go back someday - thank you so much for all your videos, they make me feel so nostalgic in a way. 🥰
Thank you very much for this video. My mother and I both love London very much, and we fell in love even more when we watched it. it's a really great country, and I hope one day we can get there, God willing. love from Turkey 🥰
I would like to thank you for this great long video you really made me feel like I'm walking among people you are amazing. I was watching this video on my laptop, then I got excited and looked at the TV and said why not watch it on TV, I connected the HD cable and I got a big screen and the feeling is very nice. It is now 2:32 am and no one is awake and I have turned on the air conditioner Really, the feeling is wonderful, I can't describe it. I have always dreamed of living in London. I don't know if it will come true, but I hope so. For everyone who lives there you are very lucky. ♥️
Hey. I love your walks. I've commented before. I live in Covent Garden. So when I'm feeling extra lazy I just put one of your vids on. Imagine I'm m getting my exercise for the day. I can't sleep. It's 2.30am. I've got a cup of tea, some lovely night lights & I'm enjoying wet London while I'm inside! It would be interesting if you could do an interactive walk. People could decide which way you go, live. Keep walking!!
Vicky, sounds like you had a nice early morning viewing experience! I have considered doing live interactive walks, obviously there are safety concerns, but I might try it sometime - it could be fun!
In love with this video. I have been in London for Xmas in 2019. I close my eyes and it is like I am already there again. I watch this video every time I want to relax. Take me back to London. 🤍from Greece
Just finised watching, thoroughly enjoyed it, you made a low light gray evening in the rain fascinating, the rock steady camerawork, smooth as, the street lights reflecting in the rain and the sound of rain in the background, kept thinkin about the streets of Paris and what u could there.
So wonderful! I may never get to physically walk down these streets.. you're doing it for me.. with great quality video.. (actually looks better on tv than i can see in real life) And raining yet!? How are so many people out just milling around.. just fantastic Thank you
As someone who's always dreamt of traveling to the UK, this is amazing. The video quality is crazy good. Love watching these videos. Like taking a trip to a new country while sipping tea from the comfort of home
I suggest to anyone (unless maybe if your extremely introverted), if you ever get the chance, particularly if your young...live in London for a year. Its a truly magical place that has an energy to it that you swear you can feel at times. I personally lived there for longer and it never lost its sheen, some of my friends say they will live there forever (some were done with it after a year or so). For me there is no better place to be when young and care free. Warm summer nights out, drinking in a sunny park listening to a local band jamming, eating macaroons and cinnamon rolls in covent garden on a rainy day, bumbling around for hours people- watching and looking at the sights.
Thank you - I soo loved this. I'm English but I've lived in South Australia for many years where we don't get much rain : ( I'd love to see a walk round London at Christmastime : )
Thanks so very much for taking a wet one for the Watched Walker team!!! I guess the good news, I read you dearly need rain just like we do as we are in a severe drought in the Southwestern part of the US. Also, I finally got to see where Ronnie Scott's jazz club is located. Excellent video again and the only thing missing is some cool jazz soundtrack LOL!! Stay safe and be well!
The West End of London...arts, culture, theatre, nightclubs, restaurants and plenty of shopping. And people from all over the world who go there. Even the rain doesn't take away it's charm.

I so enjoyed this. I've been visiting London since 1995 and of course traveling now is quite different for Americans so I won't be visiting this year.
I was impressed by the couple with the lady having a smoke and a drink outside under the umbrella with her date. That's the spirit- a little water shouldn't stop you from enjoying life.
I love rain and this makes me happy and not depressed
One of things that I like the most about England is the rainy weather. It looks really relaxing.
Bro i live near London and, trust me, waking up for school in the winter when its still dark outside and raining, hits different...
You do realize London isn't that rainy. It has less rain than san Francisco, Barcelona, new York, Miami, Houston, Sydney to name a few. It's very cloudy though.
thank you for this video, i am in isolation for a while and for some reason I cannot leave my room most of days. Going to the big city is like luxurious. Sometimes I go view google map, rather than my window because it is the same view. London may be daily to some people, but to me, it is like a far far away dream. So looking at this is really comforting.
Glad it was helpful!
It is more than 20 years since I was in London. It's nice to rediscover this wonderful city in this video. The quality of the video and audio is breathtaking. Continue with this great work. Thank you so much for this video and the great impressions of London.
The Walker, thank you so much :)
Please help me
I want to come to London 9506582967
Hello, are you from London?
I spent about a year in London studying English. During that period I had a very emotional feeling to see the rain. we became friends,(so to speak) and loved it so much. I rarely used the umbrella because I am from a country where there is very little rain. Seeing this video brings me back to those beautiful days I spent in London. thanks walker.
Come back and see us any time :)
@@jackwhitehead5233 It has always been a dream to visit London again. The city I loved walking in its streets. But if I return to it, will I enjoy the Latin music that emanates from its narrow streets? I think I should visit London to find out the answer .
rain and London are just like body and soul..a relaxing and soothing experience indeed! may it grows more beautiful
I never see such a beautiful place in my life like london, it is amazing i pleased with this place i fall in love with the rain 🌧️ that shows me how to live a life happily.
Thanks for sharing this video.
I live in Islington and haven’t been any further into Central London than where I live since I was told to pack up my desk 7 months ago. So strange seeing it all now, just a few miles away yet so distant. Can’t believe it’s been 7 whole months since I’ve been there after going there every week for 20 years.
your missing out on south london. just saying
It's definitely worth a few stops down the Victoria line. I always make a point to go down to Central when I'm down.
Hello, are you from London?
This video brought back good old London memories .. i was lucky to have my office just 5 mins away from this place .. each day after work , this used to be my routine traversing through the lively London streets eg -Oxford street/Bond Street .. used to start from one place and without realising would end up another place .. thats the beauty of London i guess .. u cud map the entire Central London and all major attractions on foot which i believe is the best experience you could have
Man, quality of the camera is so good. It feels so real to watch it in 4k.
I love the rain, it makes me feel great, it relaxes me, I just love it. I love the rain, it makes me feel great, it relaxes me, I just love it. Unfortunately in my country it does not rain much, but watching these videos the truth also make me feel better. Thanks a lot ❤️
I didn't realize I repeated a part. Haha
It's my dream to walk on these streets on a rainy day and to eat in a cozy aesthetic restaurant on a cold Snowy day. My friend told me that it's raining there right now. Oh how I wish I was there.
Everyone who is living my dream Stay happy and healthy. Sending you love❤😊
can wait to see this amazing city in the rain........
Are you from West Bengal, INDIA 🇮🇳.

Ma Indian folks unite
I lived in London 30 years ago, I miss it if I see this, even the rain! I used to walk around a lot in this area, I worked at 'sweet centres' candy shop in the Trocadero building while I was doing my internship as a fashion designer. Those days were awesome. I wish to come back soon!
Looks beautiful, through your video, we living in other parts of world got a chance to see London. Its the lights, people who are lighthearted and doing their own stuff unmindful of others, the beautiful buses which are curved, the lights, their reflection, wide and narrow roads which both look beautiful, the rain splashing sounds, no dangling electric cables!! think electric cables are underground, all roads with drainage covered and closed, its a magical sight to watch even in video, thanks for sharing
The contrast between the beautiful cityscape and the light on the screen is the best！！
The rain made london more beautiful and i really love those views
I know it’s hard to walk on a rainy day, but it looks awesome !! Love to hear the rain sounds 😍👍☔️
NW, yes it's more tricky though I find it quite relaxing too :)
Your videos are so priceless for people like us who can't afford travelling to London. Best wishes from Sri Lanka.🇱🇰
TG, greetings to Sri Lanka!
Sri lanka should become British again so we can make it like London
@@sdprz7893 you mean kissing your independence goodbye for a few pretty streets? Doesn't seem sustainable mate
@@pooja350 These pretty streets don't just come out of thin air, it's a sign of a strong economy and a developed nation. No Independence to be rich? sign me up
Hello, are you from London?
This was so MAGICAL! Thanks for taking us around London. The rain makes it even better!
I miss being able to get on the train and just go to London for the day. Videos like this just make me wish even more for the day this all ends...
Just WOW ! The buildings the people the Rain - Perfection. Love your walks - super jelly !
London looks so different compared to earlier this year. Great video which sums up the mood
I live in london and usually rains a lot and i didnt realise that rainy days could be this beautiful..
It really doesn't rain much in London - it's one of the driest capital cities in Europe. It has less rain and fewer rainy days than, say, Paris.
@@Alan_Mac When i was writing this comment it was actually raining a lot ill be real, but yeah
This was great escapism, i really felt like i was back in Soho for a few seconds. Relaxing too. Thanks for posting this.
Love your simple but beautiful content. Imagine people a few hundred years away watching your footage 👏
Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa. Never been to London but after watching this it's going straight onto my bucket list. Breathtakingly beautiful.
Dream city! Classic, modern and elegant. I am in love with this city. I hope one day I can go there...
🇹🇷❤️🇬🇧
Lovely video. Mixed levels of serene, tranquility and sadness. Almost like a noir film genre. Really brought back memories of my shopping days at Oxford Street ages ago. Wish I could be in London again. Sad to see the homeless sitting in the rain though.
I miss London so much, especially here in quarantine (I'm from Germany). Can’t wait to go back someday - thank you so much for all your videos, they make me feel so nostalgic in a way. 🥰
Come back whenever you like! We'd love to see you again :)
Thank you very much for this video. My mother and I both love London very much, and we fell in love even more when we watched it. it's a really great country, and I hope one day we can get there, God willing. love from Turkey 🥰
I would like to thank you for this great long video you really made me feel like I'm walking among people you are amazing. I was watching this video on my laptop, then I got excited and looked at the TV and said why not watch it on TV, I connected the HD cable and I got a big screen and the feeling is very nice. It is now 2:32 am and no one is awake and I have turned on the air conditioner
Really, the feeling is wonderful, I can't describe it. I have always dreamed of living in London. I don't know if it will come true, but I hope so. For everyone who lives there you are very lucky. ♥️
RUAA AA, thanks very much!
So pretty , beautifully romantic in the rain and quality walk , thankyou fella
Thanks Stephen!
Nice to see people who are walking in the rain with their umbrellas' on. Love the rain and London! ❤
Hey. I love your walks. I've commented before. I live in Covent Garden. So when I'm feeling extra lazy I just put one of your vids on. Imagine I'm m getting my exercise for the day. I can't sleep. It's 2.30am. I've got a cup of tea, some lovely night lights & I'm enjoying wet London while I'm inside!
It would be interesting if you could do an interactive walk. People could decide which way you go, live.
Keep walking!!
Vicky, sounds like you had a nice early morning viewing experience! I have considered doing live interactive walks, obviously there are safety concerns, but I might try it sometime - it could be fun!
Once i thought of visiting london while snowfall, now rain is also in the list and that too on top
Come and see us friend, we'd love to have you :)
In love with this video. I have been in London for Xmas in 2019. I close my eyes and it is like I am already there again. I watch this video every time I want to relax. Take me back to London. 🤍from Greece
Just finised watching, thoroughly enjoyed it, you made a low light gray evening in the rain fascinating, the rock steady camerawork, smooth as, the street lights reflecting in the rain and the sound of rain in the background, kept thinkin about the streets of Paris and what u could there.
Thank you Tom! I love Paris, can't wait to return and film there again - perhaps in the rain if I'm lucky!
Beautiful walking with you. I really love London!!! Thank you!!
So wonderful! I may never get to physically walk down these streets.. you're doing it for me.. with great quality video.. (actually looks better on tv than i can see in real life)
And raining yet!?
How are so many people out just milling around.. just fantastic
Thank you
As someone who's always dreamt of traveling to the UK, this is amazing. The video quality is crazy good. Love watching these videos. Like taking a trip to a new country while sipping tea from the comfort of home
I do love this channel also, I feel the same as you 😊
I suggest to anyone (unless maybe if your extremely introverted), if you ever get the chance, particularly if your young...live in London for a year. Its a truly magical place that has an energy to it that you swear you can feel at times. I personally lived there for longer and it never lost its sheen, some of my friends say they will live there forever (some were done with it after a year or so). For me there is no better place to be when young and care free. Warm summer nights out, drinking in a sunny park listening to a local band jamming, eating macaroons and cinnamon rolls in covent garden on a rainy day, bumbling around for hours people- watching and looking at the sights.
Thank you - I soo loved this. I'm English but I've lived in South Australia for many years where we don't get much rain : (
I'd love to see a walk round London at Christmastime : )
Glad you enjoyed it Angela, I'll be doing lots of walking at Christmas time - take a look at my previous year's walks if you haven't already :)
Thanks so very much for taking a wet one for the Watched Walker team!!! I guess the good news, I read you dearly need rain just like we do as we are in a severe drought in the Southwestern part of the US. Also, I finally got to see where Ronnie Scott's jazz club is located. Excellent video again and the only thing missing is some cool jazz soundtrack LOL!! Stay safe and be well!
Robert, we’ve certainly had enough rain lately here!
Same heavy rain fall in charmouth Dorset too LOL
This made me want to come here even more. Thank you for these videos - thank you so much. This is extremely calming for me.
Come and visit us, we'd love to see you :)
I appreciate the captions with the detailed information. Very helpful and interesting! Great videos! ❤️
I lived in London for 5 years and feels like I have never been to this city after I watched your amazing walk 😀 Keep doing these walks )))
Очень интересно прогуляться улицами города во время дождя.Главное, что в реальном времени. Как будто сам путешествуешь по далекому Лондону.Спасибо!❤
Я тоже скучаю по Лондону, привык за прошлый год...
I agree you feel like you are there.
This Looks so relaxing! This video makes me want to visit london even more! Awesome Video!
Please come and visit!! :)
The West End of London...arts, culture, theatre, nightclubs, restaurants and plenty of shopping. And people from all over the world who go there. Even the rain doesn't take away it's charm.
i wish america had more walkable streets like this! it's beautiful and i would love to visit london one day, the regular rainy weather is a bonus!
Please do come and visit, we'd love to have you! 🏴❤🇺🇸
The cam is so steady making the vlog better to watch and feel with earphones on.

Beautiful street ambience while walking around London in heavy rain. So soothing to watch. Tnx 4sharing Idol☔👍
O my God this rain sound and beautiful view ❤❤❤❤
At 8:37 man was chanting 'Hare Krishna' that just gave me goosebumbs in such beautiful weather of London
I need to appreciate my cityscape more. Well done dude. You earned my respect ✌🏻
