I have walked this entire section of Oxford Street many times during my trips in London. But because of the crowds of people, I never appreciated the beautiful buildings.Thank you for the entertainment while I am enduring the lockdown. John in Chicago.
Love London this time of year! I don’t know how many hundred times i’ve walked up and down these streets, swearing to myself at the crowds, and now seeing it so empty and peaceful is so surreal.
Wonderful walk...finishing up just past my 1st London hotel some 30 years ago this week in June 1990...The Mount Royal. Is now the Amba Marble Arch. Thank you for continuing to share your city.
I'm a Londoner born and bred and much as I love London, I don't like Oxford St as it's totally soulless and could be a giant shopping centre anywhere. I prefer it like this.
I was supposed to go to London in August but unfortunately I had to cancel :( I'm not comfortable travelling overseas yet but when I am, London will be the first place I go back to!
Welcome back! At about fifteen minutes in it gets busier, a bit, but still it’s weirdly quiet- so sorry! Same here except when we’re protesting and rioting, ugh. Be safe wherever you’re walking❣️
just found your channel by chance, great video. It is so quiet apart from the construction. Those empty buses seem pointless. How many of those shops will ever reopen 🤔☹
It looks like Oxford Street in a parallel universe!! 😬 Something nice about the pavements though... they look cleaner and brighter. Probably just because there are less people on the pavement. Thanks for getting out there and showing us, it's good to see it. I've been watching some walking videos on New York recently too... that's even stranger... shops shut because of lockdown and now shop windows boarded up because of street troubles. We are very lucky we haven't got those kind of problems too.
hmmm idk mb it's just me but your videos filmed with Go Pro 7 works better to me. they seem like more realistic cuz when you walking..... - you can kinda feel the city... like it's way more dynamic and there's no this awkward stabilizer effect which is not really natural to me personally but.....it's just only my thoughts. keep doing the great work. cheers
Cool vid,as always.Alot of streets here in the states look the same way,well before riots..😂😂.Your the best.No talking,just great views.Many thanks again.
Oi..como London é bonita assistindo assim...espero que um dia possamos a voltar ao normal e ver as cidades cheias e movimentadas... belo video.. abraços do Brasil..
Thanks for the updated video, but oh-so depressing. It got worse when I noticed that Boots was closed, too (pharmacies in the states are open). I hate seeing Oxford Street like this! I had to then quickly view your Oxford Street at Christmas video to bring me out of my funk!
Thank you Watched Walker. People ask when it will be normal, but if what was normal was it or maybe it should change something. Maybe we need to rethink our past life. What do you think about this.
I wanted to start my own walking videos for a while as i am someone who walks is there a camera/equipment that you would say is a good one to start with bearing in mind at the moment i am very limited as to the funds i have available so something with a good enough quality
Jorge, either an Osmo Pocket or GoPro and gimbal (there's a link in the description to the gear I use) - though there may be cheaper options out there but I've not tried them. Also, if you have a decent phone, you could try that with a gimbal to begin.
@@WatchedWalker yes I've checked your equipment ultimately I want to get the osmo pocket I don't have that amount to spend yet. I have a p30 lite and it seems the sound on it is a bit of an issue
Was there in October, very weird to see the mostly empty streets as well as the empty streets of other world cities... even as lockdown restrictions are lifted. The new normal for now
Was walking this street back in January have not been back since, am suprised is not busier think everyboday at the park lol, what time of day you do this walk?
London looks like a ghost town. Compare to what I've seen in your older videos, there's barely any traffic, a few people on their bikes & the odd people walking about. I know everybody are following the rules. It's just weird. Another great video, by the way.
Oxford Street does not look like a circus at all...more like a cemetery....Oxford Street is my favourite street...i love the hassle and the circus vibes...why Covid-19? Whyyyyyy 🥺😪😭

Glad you liked it John, I hope things are well with you.
Yes you are right my friend I have driven over 30 years in this street on daily basis never thought of this picture 🤔😂👍
GREAT !! ...The Best Walker is Back !!...haven't seen you do much LOCKDOWN walks , hopefully more to come soon.
I've done a few 😎
Dang.Hes the best.
like a sunday in the 70's
Yeah :)
Everyday is like Sunday.. now
Patricia Frei agreed! And how feckin boring is that!
Yeah it is.He could have put The Andy Griffith theme on here and it would have fit.😂😂😂
That’s true! London was just like this on Sundays.
Love London this time of year! I don’t know how many hundred times i’ve walked up and down these streets, swearing to myself at the crowds, and now seeing it so empty and peaceful is so surreal.
AMAZING!! Absolutely love your videos !! It’s like I’m holding the camera myself. Thank you for sharing these iconic sites with us
My pleasure Laya, so pleased you're enjoying my videos!!
Whenever i see your videos, i virtually reach there and feel as if i am walking. Though i reside in India, my heart and soul lies there.
Wonderful walk...finishing up just past my 1st London hotel some 30 years ago this week in June 1990...The Mount Royal. Is now the Amba Marble Arch. Thank you for continuing to share your city.
The Mount Royal ! Stayed there for a couple of nights on a school trip, Feb 1991. Good times !
Omg finally!!! But how bizzaro and unreal. So glad you’re back at it and I love your vids! Thank you for taking a walk for us today!
Miki, thanks so much!!
Ooo b bravei 😚
Thanks 🙏❤️
Thanks for always making these man, you're the best!
Hard to believe that this is usually the busiest street in London. Wow!
Its nuts because London is usually extremely crowded. Very odd to see London like this.
I am enjoying the slower pace of life at the moment.
Thanx for the update Dear Watched Walker, i hope life will be back to normal ASAP. stay safe, stay healthy.
Ameen, thank you, you too!
I was looking at some of your pre-Covid vids. I miss those times, it's heartbreaking seeing London like this 😥💔
Stay safe mate
Oxford Street looks unrecognisable like a parallel universe.
Thanks for giving us the taste of quiet London during lockdown. It looks clean, no litter.
Very nice walk as usual. Good weather in London! Have a great day.
Very nice weather and look clean...
The best walking videos...like to see your binaural recording set up , really adds a new dimension to your videos, with headphone.
Watched Walker we've missed you!
Thank you Jeff!
The Oxford Street was always the busiest and full of people. I used to go there a lot for shopping and hangout with friends. Can't believe this
Thank you for the video! 😃🇫🇮
Excellent one of my favourite walks, thank you.
Thanks Jay, glad you enjoyed it!
Looks like a different place - not the London I know and miss. Thanks for the walk. I hope we do go back to some kind of normal one day 🙏
GST, I hope so too!
Thanks for sharing the situation there
What a beautiful video. I love it so much. Thank you! : )
I'm a Londoner born and bred and much as I love London, I don't like Oxford St as it's totally soulless and could be a giant shopping centre anywhere. I prefer it like this.
You prefer your city being closed , businesses closed, people having no money and your economy bleeding?
Although it looks nice, it’s not. The economy is non existent and many people are going to loose their jobs
Great route, nice views, excellent walking tour, greetings, Nelson & Ana
So sad, I miss you London. Can't wait till everything goes back to normal 😢
What an awesome city!
Wow it looks great ! Nice for nature to have a rest from all human activities noise and mess
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Great video!
beautiful day to walking with you.. nice.. 😷 🙏
I was supposed to go to London in August but unfortunately I had to cancel :( I'm not comfortable travelling overseas yet but when I am, London will be the first place I go back to!
nice video ❤️👍
Cool and good video👍
Do at 60fps also, it feels so good😍
Love walking in London on a sunny day and you get around quicker then going on tube
bellissimi filmati amo londra ci tornero presto
This is a good documentary!
Got the impression without the crowds the road looks narrow and small, wow.
I MISS LONDON SO MUCH THAT IT MAKES ME WANNA CRY
my old town, lived in London 13 years before moving to Barcelona!
Welcome back!
At about fifteen minutes in it gets busier, a bit, but still it’s weirdly quiet- so sorry!
Same here except when we’re protesting and rioting, ugh.
Be safe wherever you’re walking❣️
just found your channel by chance, great video. It is so quiet apart from the construction. Those empty buses seem pointless. How many of those shops will ever reopen 🤔☹
This situation will soon pass and everything will return to normal, in the meantime be very careful. Greetings from Argentina.
Really? I don't think so.Gonna be worse.
Thank you, I needed to get out of the house.....K.S.
I think we all will be available to very soon 🙌😎🙌
Great walk 🚶♂️ 👏 👌 👍
Beautiful streets 💕
I used to live in Soho. Often it was too busy around the shops to even get a pint of milk for breakfast. This seems crazy to me!
건물이 깔끔하고 멋져요!👍👍

Love how quiet and open it feels, normally it’s a crowded hell hole
6:07 that loong empty shot somehow made me anxious. I almost expected a jumpscare at some point
awesome
Beautiful city, thank you
Greetings from a fellow London walker 😁🇬🇧
Beautiful images
London is very nice and brilliant. I love England.
hmmm idk mb it's just me but your videos filmed with Go Pro 7 works better to me.

Thanks Michael 👍
@@WatchedWalker TY for the .💟.How can I donate
Thanks Michael, I have a ko-fi page for donations - www.ko-fi.com/watchedwalker
Which camera gear you using for these videos...
Nikkos, Osmo Pocket, I list the camera used in the video description :)
Yep... I was watching A walker ........ 😁
How did you arrange such good timing?
Bet this video quickly rises to the top of your most watched !
Oi..como London é bonita assistindo assim...espero que um dia possamos a voltar ao normal e ver as cidades cheias e movimentadas... belo video.. abraços do Brasil..
I do too, greetings to Brasil!
Thanks for the updated video, but oh-so depressing. It got worse when I noticed that Boots was closed, too (pharmacies in the states are open). I hate seeing Oxford Street like this! I had to then quickly view your Oxford Street at Christmas video to bring me out of my funk!
Pharmacies are open here too. Boots in Oxford Street is probably closed because it's not residential :)
@@matthewgoodwin9032 Yes, I assumed that.
Thank you Watched Walker. People ask when it will be normal, but if what was normal was it or maybe it should change something. Maybe we need to rethink our past life. What do you think about this.
A new improved normal would be good, but I'm not sure that's likely unfortunately!
Wooow!!! So empty! Glad your back 👍
I'd love to walk through London like this.
JAMES WHITELEY i did today
Sunday afternoon in july my top tip
3:53 & 19:46 😉 Keep walking & keep safe, mate!
Sean, good job!
I dont think I've ever seen it that empty
We have more action on the main street of my small town in Australia lol, great video as always
When you are doing the walking is it always your normal walking pace?
Jorge, yes it's my normal walking pace, unless I've walked a lot and it gets slower!
I wanted to start my own walking videos for a while as i am someone who walks is there a camera/equipment that you would say is a good one to start with bearing in mind at the moment i am very limited as to the funds i have available so something with a good enough quality
Jorge, either an Osmo Pocket or GoPro and gimbal (there's a link in the description to the gear I use) - though there may be cheaper options out there but I've not tried them. Also, if you have a decent phone, you could try that with a gimbal to begin.
@@WatchedWalker yes I've checked your equipment ultimately I want to get the osmo pocket I don't have that amount to spend yet. I have a p30 lite and it seems the sound on it is a bit of an issue
Cool
Ohh! No people in the Streets! In Spain to!
Was there in October, very weird to see the mostly empty streets as well as the empty streets of other world cities... even as lockdown restrictions are lifted. The new normal for now
Was walking this street back in January have not been back since, am suprised is not busier think everyboday at the park lol, what time of day you do this walk?
Nobody... That is incredible!
Almost empty.😣
مشكور على هذا التصوير الجميل معك يوسف من الكويت
London looks like a ghost town. Compare to what I've seen in your older videos, there's barely any traffic, a few people on their bikes & the odd people walking about. I know everybody are following the rules. It's just weird. Another great video, by the way.
Thanks Lyne, yes, London is very strange like this!
At least the pollution is lower
Oxford Street Lights switch on Nov 2nd 2020
Ok🌲
It's sad. So sad
Thank you watched walker only two bird 🕊🕊very bitifull walk Love you good luck take care 😗😗😗👣🕊🕊😍Love you💖💘❤💘❤💘❤💘
Thank you Shiva b!
I really really missed you my heart 💖😘😘🏴🏴
London ♥️
Try to walk inside the Buckingham Palace and record it so we could see the chandeliers. Hahahah
I'm waiting for the Queen to invite me to come film - well, I'd be happy to just film the back garden!
One day, Mr WW, people will show this video to remind us what it was like. Did it feel as creepy as it looks?
LWL, it did feel very strange for the time of day!
Some sundays in the summer in the afternoon I've found also like this
A little sad but always beautiful to me😘😘😘
Wow, ghost town now..!!
Did you followed the girl ??
Of course not!
Watched Walker your loss ;)
Give it a week and it will be back to be being overcrowded , over polluted, noisy and dirty 😥
Oxford Street years ago was posh....
Оооо,ремонтируют станцию метро))
Looks so much different. In a bad way. Hopefully this is not lasting any longer.. 😮
Ps.... where are the Triffids ?
I have no idea what it used to look like
London seems less people on the street than Italy. Recently Italian people gets back to the normal life slowly. Of course still follow the rule.
Oxford Street does not look like a circus at all...more like a cemetery....Oxford Street is my favourite street...i love the hassle and the circus vibes...why Covid-19? Whyyyyyy 🥺😪😭
Please do Dalston Junction :))
Woderful. New normal life. Same here.
