    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.

    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
