@Falcom Scott Thanks pal!
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
My favourite aspect is the headlights of cars being reflected in the wet streets. It's a weirdly comforting distortion.
I am not able to go out and these walks are so nice. Thank you so much..
Perhaps one day soon.!
I'm italian, in march 2019 i was one week in London with school. My friends and I were guests to a family in Woodford, we went to an english school near Tottenham Court Road stop in the morning and in the evening we visited London. Simce than i dream to return to London but thanks to covid is impossible. Thanks for sharing these videos

London's rainy night streets are so pretty😍😍😍😍😍👍 I enjoyed watching from korea ❤💜💕💙💚🧡
Always your videos are so interesting end entertainment we enjoyed Rainy weather of England with walk love you so much best of luck for next beautiful videos ☺️❤
There is something strangely appealing about walking with you through familiar, yet absolutely deserted streets in the dead of night, especially if you add torrential rain to the mix.
15:55 you almost got wet!!
I think British drivers love to do it 😅
Love west end area 😍😍
raindrop sound late night in west end looks so cool!
Thanks for another great tour 👍👍👍
TGW, thank you! Yes, I was so close to getting splashed!
Love you walking:so we don’t have too.
Can’t beat the rainy night ones that’s for sure ,it loads a whole new ambience on the area.
I don’t live that far from here...but don’t intend to go there now ,l used to years back in my youth.
Love all the fancy railings ,and lantern lights.
This really helped me fall asleep easily I really love this video thank you for sharing and GOD BLESS YOU ❤️
Wow. The sounds and colors blew me away!
Beautiful country. Thank you for showing this beautiful country
My pleasure Cindy!
Appreciate your wet soaky sacrifice in order to give us these rainy walks. They are soo relaxing and soothing to watch, last night after one of these I had the best sleep in a long time! Hope you managed to stay dry!
This footage will be so interesting to people 100 years from now just like footage from 100 years ago is cool to watch and imagine what life was like..
Nighttime, rain and a promenade around London Town; my fave 💜

I remember Green Park like it was yesterday. It’s beautiful and I remember being intimidated by the Ritz.
I start watching and within minutes I've nodded off - it's not boring it's just the sound of the rain that does it!

@@watchedwalker thanks so much!! :) Love your channel, and it’s getting even better! Love the new logo and the new colour grading. Great choice!
Love the new channel art 🎉
That was great Watched Walker. I particularly loved the reflections of light in the rain soaked streets as well as recognizing several places which have now become comfortably familiar through your videos. In particular, Leceister Square, Chinatown and Covent Garden. I also loved the various narrow cobbled streets...and of course interacting with many familiar names in the Live Chat. Anyhow, stay dry and see you soon!
Ibrahim, thanks very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I did love this walk hey there Ibrahim I've been suffering some from the side effects of the chemo but I wanted to push myself to get back out to fight I'm suffering from nausea and no energy 💔 😢 but we remain positive and hope to see you on the premiere ❤️ your friend Cindy Keyes 🥰🏝🏖
@@cynthiakeyes7197 Oh Hello there Cynthia. Really really praying for you. Just hang in there. You are one tough person and can pull through these temporary challenges. Hope to see you at the next premiere, which I notice is at 9pm UK time tonight.
Loved chatting with you in the premiere please keep me updated on your progress I know you will be just fine because you are so fit and riding for 50 minutes is impressive see ya soon my dear friend ❤️🥰🏝🏖

This was another great walk in the rain. I love the sound of the raindrops!
Thank you very much Anne-Lise!
Great job, very atmospheric. A journey into another time ⌚.
MAGIC upload. Thanks for getting out.
Cheers Paul 🙂
Nice rainy walk👍
Great night walk around the city while raining. Beautiful cityscape. Lots to offer to tourists. Keep up the good work🙋
Even though the soul of the West End is gone, that walk across the bridge is fantastic.
I love it 😍😍😍😍 you make my day . Thank you so much
Hello Watched Walker!How are you?Rainy walk is my favorite,it's so relaxing and calming,thanks for the nice walk!
Thanks FQ, I'm good thanks, I hope all is well with you 😀
Very nice walk in the rain. I really liked the streets of London, different, but very pleasant to walk through, the different places crossed, the Thames and its Eye!!; A very pleasant walk with the sound of the rain.
You must have comfortable and waterproof shoes too!!!. Thank you WW
You're welcome FV, I often end up with wet feet filming these unless I'm prepared with my boots! 😀
I really like these walks in the rain and especially in the deserted streets. But each time, I think you need good closed shoes and a big umbrella!!.
I'm starting to get my bearings in London thanks to you.
You are my eyes and my legs and sometimes I say to myself: "I've already been there"!!.
That's very kind of you. Thanks
@@watchedwalker
Listening to the rain was very relaxing and I enjoyed seeing the sights. Thank you.
Totally love the atmosphere ☔🌧️ Rainy walk is definitely my favourite 👍 This is relaxing. Thank you Watched Walker for the video 😊
You're so welcome Irfan, these are my favourite to film too. Take care 😀
Love the sound of the rain and the atmosphere of this one
Visiting London this August!
Marcus, I hope you have a great trip and lovely weather too 😀
É simplesmente cinematográfico cara! A chuva as luzes e o reflexo das luzes no chão molhado. A expressão urbana comum ganhou uma beleza rara sob a lente da tua câmera. Pura arte, parabéns!
Marcilia, thank you so much for your kind words 😊 Take care!
So beautiful - the picture is so clear and crisp. I'm in Chicago, Illinois, USA, and I'm loving this!!! Next best thing to being there!!!!😍
Your audio was fabulous it sounded like I was right on the street with the people all around me
Thanks a lot. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for this Walk. Beautiful City. Drop the Thougths... and just walking ... travelling.
Love it..so beautiful to see the opera house..thankyou...I miss Paris so much ❤
Beautiful rain walk 😊
Nice walk
Thank you for sharing! Great place and walking. It's on my travel list for sure and to see it in this time is wonderful.👍
Really nice walk! Love the colors! Thanks for sharing!
This is a great walk, WW 🦋🦋🦋 Beautiful, I will never be able to do it in such a harsh condition 🦋🦋🦋
Thank you London Socialite, I did get very wet in that rain! All the best!
@@watchedwalker I can imagine. 🦋🦋🦋 stay warm and stay dry. 🦋🦋🦋
Good on the bloke doing the deliveries.
London is just magical =). Thanks for sharing
Good video. I am one of your fans.
As noites chuvosas são as melhores. Muito legal.😀👍
So cosy to watch these walks from home. Some nights I am in the mood for a busy walk watching everyone out and about and sometimes a quiet one and you cater for both. I really don't like London at all as I don't like crowds but watching it this way kind of appeals somehow!!
Thank you Annemarie, that's great to hear, I do love filming these rainy walks.
Cinematic color grading is awesome, thumbs up always.
5:00 Fortnums! Best part.
Superb Watched Walker, superb!!
