[@meijiturtle3814]

Fascinating. There's something superbly atmospheric about walking along empty city streets on a wet winter night.

[@Joestudly]

Yes, satisfying too especially while watching from my cozy, warm room, while someone else is getting wet for my viewing pleasure.😁

[@alfredroyal3473]

I find the sound of rain soothing. I love walking in it provided dressed appropriately. The joy of living in Britain is the seasons. Long summer days, short winter days, long winter nights. It must be boring - honestly - to live in a country with incessant sun and heat.

[@marccas10]

I'd like the chance to get really really bored though.

[@MaybeIWillPutANameOneDay]

it really is hard living with so much heat man, so envious of you

[@Theranchhouse1]

I can almost..smell the rain......🙂

[@illuminatedgalaxies7777.]

I love these raining walks the best because hardly anyone is about and it is relaxing and nice to see everything, without all the crowds and no-one getting in your way 😊thank you for this walk i really appreciate it stay well and happy new year to you 💜

"I love these raining walks the best because hardly anyone is about" Have we watched the same video? Its full of cars, vans, bused, noisey people, ect... sorry, but just found this statement a bit odd! 😄

[@allisonisis]

@@owlthepirate5997 I believe they are referring to people walking on the sidewalk and getting in the way of the person walking because if we had to navigate walking around crowds, that would be the opposite of relaxing.

I have to say mate I love the Rain videos you do!

@@thomas.m.d from uk too pls get me to like the rain what's the secret had a lifetime to get used to it but can't see the beauty in it

[@johnorchin8567]

It says a lot for the freedom we enjoy in our great City, that you can roam the streets and mews in the dark and wet, like some slightly mad tourist and remain free to do so, without fear of being challenged or questioned. People may think it’s odd, but they respect your right to do it. Which enables you to bring us these marvellous videos.

[@KidMillions]

Clobber them with a copy of the Magna Carta if someone questions you. Fundamental rights since the 13th century.

[@danielnixon9614]

Probably helps that he is walking around one the most exclusive areas in the UK that has private security on most roads

[@mt.shasta6097]

I have a strange question. As an American with access to a large city, I was surprised by all the loud, annoying male shouting in the early part, near Harrods. I think of the British as quiet, sedate people. What was that about? Just asking for information. Beautiful video.

[@johnorchin8567]

@@mt.shasta6097 I wish that were still true! Where have you been for the last 60 years? It certainly can be as you describe, in places - at times, but London doesn’t exist in a time warp, and times have changed not always for the better unfortunately. Quiet and sedate are relative terms. I think as a general rule the British people do speak and act more quietly than the Americans, but not, at all times, all the time.

[@baljj]

I've lived in Dubai for nearly 4 years, but I'm a londoner. Even though it's raining and looks cold in this, still a tear to my eye. Nothing like home 💙

I'm in the Middle East as well, and I've been perpetually homesick for England. Yes, there's no place like home. You can take the Brit out of the UK, but you can't take the UK out of the Brit❤🇬🇧 This is why I love watching The Watched Walker.

This is a lovely post and I love watching the city in the pouring rain and lights on in homes and restaurants x but I love most now listening to the rain in my home in the country xx no traffic only an occasional tractor and listening to the wind sat by the roaring log fire 🔥 xx

[@WatchedWalker]

Thanks Claire, country living does sound very peaceful, that log fire would be lovely to get warm next to!

[@suzy8109]

Your channel is a godsend in covid times when outdoor activities are limited for all of us. Sitting on the sofa at home (warm and cosy under a blanket) whilst vicariously enjoying walks around beautiful London with you is the best. Thank you so much for all your hard work and giving us so much enjoyment. Sending love from Manchester.💕

[@christineonna-cracker9230]

Your rainy night walks are what I go to sleep to every night. Thank you. Not only for all the good nights sleep, but for showing me places I will never see and giving me interesting things to see while I'm on my treadmill.

[@Natasha6090]

Very soothing hearing the rain as you walk. Rain sounds help me get sleep so thank you

[@yikes7607]

This is so beautiful and charming 😍 I struggle to understand why there are so many British moving into my country when it's so much nicer and neat over there, whether it's the city or country side. What a perfect blend between old and modern. Love the rain and the lights reflected on the pavement.

[@mindunwind1]

I prefer rainy walks because there are fewer people around, and it is soothing and pleasant to observe things without all the crowds and no one coming in your way. Thank you so much for taking me on this stroll. Stay well and have a nice new year!

[@onlybeautifulnaturesweden9036]

[@danityvanityinsanity]

I don’t know if it’s just me but I noticed that the people in London, England, seem so lively, more talkative, and more outgoing then I’ve seen in any other location in a walk through video!

[@squeaksvids5886]

I love rainy autumn nights in London, miss my London wanderings.

[@suecondon1685]

London in rain is just the nuts. 😊 Superb quality, I can't imagine how you keep it dry but I Iove this atmosphere. The people sitting outside are like it's just a normal day, yet it's a freezing wet winter night. 😲 Such a typical London attitude.

[@dahliagreen5919]

The atmosphere, scenery and character of London''s nicer parts on a rainy night are beautifully relaxing. But this isn't freezing cold winter. Several can be seen wearing shorts and light clothes, trees all have leaves and flowers are in bloom. The filming looks to have been done between May and September, and probably not in temperatures below about 15C.

[@suecondon1685]

@@dahliagreen5919 It was October, 13 degrees C. It says so in the credits, so pretty chilly on a rainy night. Just saying.

Summer 1976 I lived at 53 Walton Street, great memories thanks for the video flashback, this is the path I walked every day, I got off at Knightsbridge station next to Harrods and walked home sometimes in the rain like in the video at the age of 21 it was just joy... Awesome gift for my 68th birthday tomorrow....

As a travel blogger, I always look to travel news for guidance, wanderlust, and inspiration. For years, I’ve been collecting details about travel while traveling the world, and always enjoy reflecting on them in my day-to-day life.

Visiting such destinations like yours make me feel more like an explorer, one of the many joys of traveling......so thank you!!!!!!

Another beautiful haunting gem. I played Aurora Nights soundtrack to accompany this ..... perfection. Huge thanks WW.

[@aujay]

There are certain locations like at 9:30 - 9:43 where you cross from Walton Place onto Walton Street where just for a fleeting moment the ambient atmosphere of that area just takes on a strange Metaphysical feeling (of the crossing of time and space) through those quiet little streets and i like to imagine that the ghosts of the people who've lived in these same streets over the last few hundred years are somehow watching this solitary person (W.W.) walking and unbeknownst to them, recording their homes in this incredible modern time.

[@talmadge1926]

I may be one of the ghosts. In the 60s my best friend lived in Walton St. It had such a special calm and charm. Cant explain it. The house had a creaky dumb waiter that operated on pulleys from the kitchen and rose through the dining room floor above. I often walk there in my mind in the hours before dawn when ones mind wanders back to gentler times

You might assume you can only find peace of mind when completely free of troubles, but that’s not the case. In fact, it often works the other way around. Feeling at peace internally can boost overall contentment and feelings of happiness. Plus, a relaxed and calm outlook can help you navigate life’s often-turbulent waters more smoothly.
