Hi Hon. You're very brave, i've been out in those streets after dark in teeming rain with just a short skirt and hi heels, it's no fun even with an umbrella!. Liked it though. Tell you what, when you're warmed up and brave enough to go back, why not do the same idea but round Whitechapel and the East End. Now i know that area too and after dark even in dry weather, i always got an uneasy feeling. Good luck!

I cannot express how these videos have changed my life. I'm housebound at the moment recovering from cancer and I cant walk out I love the rain...it frees me and I feel with these videos I am getting to experience London without sitting on a train or a tube to get there. I love all the areas you cover but especially East London. God bless you for your efforts in this you tube channel

Thank you for your kind words Annemarie, it's lovely to hear how my videos have helped you. I wish you all the best with your recovery, take care.

Only catching this a year on, but you can see from this level of wind and rain an umbrella alone is gonna be insufficient to keep you dry. I would’ve recommended a solid pair of wellies and some decent waterproofs, trousers, gloves, coat & hat with some warm stuff to keep you warm underneath, fleece, thermals thick socks etc. Hard to estimate just how wet it was gonna be I guess.

Growing up in the south west of the UK this kind of weather evokes many memories for me. It makes me remember things like waking up early for school on miserable monday mornings in the dead of winter. Stepping out of my front door and that splash of sideways rain hits you and you feel the cold snap at your extremities. Walking to school it would still almost feel dark because the low rainclouds and the mist would often block out the rising sun so it looked like somebody shining a torch way off in the distance. I used to feel like I was living inside a cloud sometimes. Even back then as a kid I always felt there was a vague melancholy beauty to it. It was like ghosts made of weather swirlling around me.
