Thank this channel with a Christmas gift ✨ ko-fi.com/watchedwalker/tip

[@joline2730]

Thank you SO MUCH WW, for showing Selfriges Christmas windows, they are fab ... I live way up norf now so don't get to go there every year like I used to when living down there, so I am very grateful for this walk 😀🙏🙏💯💯

[@ebeleobianyo3729]

Looking forward to this at Christmas even when I am not a Londoner. It is always inspires the Christmas feelings and celebration

[@Pablo260492]

London always in my heart ❤😍🫖🇬🇧

[@ibs5080]

Yay! Brilliant timing WW. The official start of Christmas is...when WW posts his first London Christmas lights video of the season! Very happy to see this come in. Mum and I will watch this whilst having our lunch in front of the RV today, which we are just about to do. Great stuff WW. You know by know how much I totally love Christmas lights.

[@WatchedWalker]

@ibs5080 I was glad I managed to film the lights turning on (just about), the weather wasn't too bad at the time I filmed, a bit blustery and some drizzle. I hope you enjoy it.

[@micheleparker3780]

Wow!! Now I'm in the Christmas spirit - this is the earliest yet!!! Reminds me of when I was a child and my mom would take us downtown to see all the big store windows! So much fun! You bring those days back to me, WW!!!❤

[@WatchedWalker]

@micheleparker3780 I do love the Christmas lights, though I look forward to seeing them when it's not windy and rainy!

[@abertolucci9780]

So magical

[@marinafiorito2570]

Thank you 🫶a wonderful walk in Oxford street ❤❤❤❤❤

[@meijiturtle3814]

Good to see the eastern end of Oxford St looking much more upmarket these days. Obviously the Tottenham Court Rd station rebuild has begun to improve the area.

[@mariapotter2620]

Beautiful star hung lights and shop displays, thank you for the lovely Christmassy walk.

[@WatchedWalker]

@mariapotter2620 You're very welcome! 🎄

[@francoisevitard5272]

Very nice walk before Christmas!!. The streets take out their festive finery. Store windows are adorned with pretty things as gifts. Those of Christmas tree Diva are remarkable for their inventiveness. I really like the curtains that open and close like in the theater!!. Thank you Ami WW for this entertaining walk 😀😀😀😀😀

[@WatchedWalker]

@francoisevitard5272 Thank you, I like those curtains too, it adds a bit of drama!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

It was only a matter of time till the Christmas lights were on 🔥

[@WatchedWalker]

@PokhrajRoy. It's nice to have them back on, it doesn't feel that long ago I was filming them!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

@@WatchedWalker I just remembered that.

[@crystalmeier6579]

Lovely timing😊

[@WatchedWalker]

@crystalmeier6579 I was lucky to just about catch them turning on, they never give an exact time for switch on.

[@卂乃卄工03]

Nice

[@GabrielMartínmaldonado]

❤❤❤

[@Jupiter-p7f]

London always looks beautiful while it rains love your channel❤❤

[@WatchedWalker]

@yoursalmashowz Thank you so much 😀

[@ardisgubbins3506]

Thanks for stopping at the Carolers and letting us listen, we really enjoyed that!❤

[@ginashiel105]

Best bit was hearing the salvation army singing Christmas Carols!

[@motoexploration4169]

Nicely recorded footage. Were you using the Black Mist filter? I see a nice halo around all the light sources.

[@WatchedWalker]

@motoexploration4169 Thanks. No, there was drizzle that day and some got on the lens.

[@phasaset]

Perfect timing for the choir. The displays were super cool too. Happy Friday WW!

[@WatchedWalker]

@phasaset Thank you, have a great weekend!

[@dejicalabasas5420]

🐐

[@NcboreasVapes]

The official start to Christmas isn't before Guy Fawkes nite. 😅😂😅 C'mon. Let's get real lol

[@steferrari85]

Great videos! I noticed that HMV is opening again, do we know when?

[@WatchedWalker]

@steferrari85 It was supposed to be open in time for Christmas, not sure if that's still the case.

[@denisecaparn9068]

Few stars hanging up yippie😂😂😂😂😂

[@anne-liseeikahansen]

Hi WW. I really enjoyed this walk. All the Christmas lights in Oxford Street. The windows at Selfridges. And the singing outside John Lewis (13:50). Great filming.

[@WatchedWalker]

@anne-liseeikahansen Many thanks, I enjoyed the singing too, but didn't stay too long in case YT copyright claimed it. Enjoy your weekend.

[@anne-liseeikahansen]

@@WatchedWalker You too, have a fine weekend.

[@nealwilliam]

Return to Christmas light last year!

[@wnj765]

Did you ever had overheating problem ? Whats your setup? Creative combo or basic ? I seen more and more comments that tbis camera is overheating and you are even recording using terrific HLG

[@WatchedWalker]

@wnj765 Thankfully I haven't yet, but I've not tried charging and filming at the same time.

[@ЕдильУксикбаев-ы3г]

👍

[@gabrielemariabarba6228]

it looks very smooth, wich gimbal mode are you using on the pocket 3? follow , tilt locked or fvp?

[@WatchedWalker]

@gabrielemariabarba6228 Follow mode.

[@gabrielemariabarba6228]

Did you use a z axis stabilizer? Or gimbal walk?

[@WatchedWalker]

@@gabrielemariabarba6228 Neither, just walked normally.

[@trainfest7537]

Great video. Shame about the lights though. They look like something that they got from a Pound Shop in the Black Friday sale.

[@TheUluxian]

Hard to believe it's been a year, already. Wish I could be there this year.. * sigh * Well, MAYBE 2024..fingers crossed. Thanks WW..Merry Christmas, friend.

[@WatchedWalker]

@TheUluxian Yes, time certainly flies, Merry Christmas to you too 🎄

[@WanderFeetChronicles]

Just wondering how the audio recorder and binaural mic works with the pocket etc. do they all plug in together to one another?

[@WatchedWalker]

@WalkingToursNW No, I have to combine audio and video when editing.

[@WanderFeetChronicles]

@@WatchedWalkerThank you. I appreciate the response. I’d love to do this myself you see, for friends and family who’ve moved away.

[@PRAVINRAAJRAAJ]

I really love your country very much. I really want to be a citizen of your country.

[@geralddavidson6518]

Always enjoy you videos especially at this time of year, but I do have one question. Is it me or is the lighting in Oxford Street really poor? It's really difficult to see the detail of the people and objects nearby.

[@WatchedWalker]

@geralddavidson6518 These HDR videos take a while for KZbin to fully process and it looks darker until they do. It doesn't look nearly as dark now if you are watching on a device that can show HDR content.

[@slras583]

It looks like they’ve cut back on the number of Christmas lights on Oxford Street this year 😢

[@iloneclezar]

Ruas escuras

[@thomashernandez8700]

What is the NEXT store? Is it located in an old dept store with the escalators?

[@WatchedWalker]

@thomashernandez8700 It was formerly Oxford Street’s Plaza shopping centre.

[@milei-lion]

Constructive opinion, try to not move the audio recorder bc it changes the sound direction, and sometimes it makes less audible of what are you shoting at. Great videos i always watch em.

[@citywalk5689]

A bit dark but it's ok. Look like this camera performing well in low light.

[@denisecaparn9068]

The french done better job ha ha check their u tube , londons cheap skates😂😂😂

[@denisecaparn9068]

And londons not artistic enough😂😂😂

[@alffuergregor]

I dont see ANy Christmas lights just a few little stats. Compared to the disgusting ramadan lights at Easter this year this is disgraceful

[@satan6548]

We are here now, visiting from California. Some of the traffic lights for pedestrians are multi-gender symbols, apparently someone was offended by the little outline of a man.

[@alffuergregor]

@@satan6548not about gender. This is lgbt they were offended so now you have gay couples holding hands… this is how sad and ridiculous it is… next there will be a headscarf on the women 😂

[@Shutupfrfryeahh]

I went here irl yesterday because of this video

[@teresagonzalez4829]

Hermoso Londres, pero en mi ciudad,donde se Dan los PREMIOS PRINCESA DE ASTURIAS" esta más alumbrada,tiene muchiiisimas farolas,pero a Londres le da un aire de misterio único, me encanta❤❤❤❤

[@dagmaragroves9254]

So boring this suppose to be famous city no feel of chrismas there
