Would be GREAT to see LONDON in the snow!

[@gilien521]

It snowed a little a couple of years ago, I was walking to Harrods on Brompton Road with my Granddaughter, she couldn't believe her eyes !

[@fredfreddy8684]

Yes! I saw it in the rain, but not snow.

I lived there from 2011-2013. Best 3 years of my life. Watching your channel bring back so much memory.

And I in 1978 - 1982. Also a lot of memories for me too!

Thanks for letting me walk rainy London while staying warm and dry!

[@CastelWalking]

Very amazing walk ! The colors are really so beautiful ! 😍 I really like this atmosphere after the rain, when the lights are reflected on the wet ground! Thanks for sharing my friend ! Merci 😊

[@watchedwalker]

Thanks Castel, I love the lights reflected on the wet ground too. Take care!

[@TokyoTones]

so comforting watching the rain!

[@rickysorhaindo1359]

Absolutely brilliant, interesting how old London meets the modern London, the contrst in the architecture of the buildings, when you started in Waterloo walking down the streets, it was like being in the 1940s, then into the city, Charles Dickens would be gobsmacked and be think what has happened here. really enjoyed very relaxing and calming for the mind, as when your in london you miss the the little gems that you see in the video. From a cockney londerner, 👉THANK YOU VERY MUCH👈😁😁😁👍👍

[@watchedwalker]

You're very welcome Ricky, all the best!

[@Parseenfroo]

That was amazing, utterly riveting. No words no music, just the raw sound of a beautiful city.

[@michellem9275]

Love England ❤😻❤

[@WE4Travel]

London! i miss travel so much i start to miss the rain in London very very nice walking video! the color tone is awesome

[@didwest1249]

It doesn't always rain in London if it did I'd be happy cos I love it it's sunny all the time not like when I was a kid we had seasons

[@jl453]

The streets around Roupell and Theed look so Victorian. And so does this area in the dark and rain👍

[@leoderocles6423]

Need a hot chocolate after this trip !

The first 15 - 20 mins if this is the exact route I walked to work each morning for a number of years.

[@amirahk407]

Love from New York! Always wanted to visit London♥️

[@timdaugherty5921]

Beautiful walk!!!! Hopefully in 2022 I’ll see London again))

[@veronicag.5287]

Beautiful London ♥️ Watching from Buenos Aires (Argentina).

[@WinrichNaujoks]

Boy am I glad to be able to watch this from the comfiness of my arm chair with a nice coffee!

[@lbukem4259]

I also find it amazing just how quickly the built environment changes north of the City. It goes from billion pound buildings and squares to pound shops and warehouses in about 100 metres.

[@johnlocke6506]

I worked for Spicer & Pegler in the mid 70's. They were then one of the largest accountancy companies globally and the source of standard text books on the subject. I worked out of the Head Office on St. Mary Axe so this brought back memories. In fact during a recent move I found an old diary from that period listing the daily work I did at stock jobbers and brokers from 1975!!

[@eloisebrynlee]

Thanks for doing this while I sit at home warm and dry! First time I’ve watched a rainy walking video like this and I liked the sounds and reflections especially.

[@NewWalker]

Beautiful and relaxing walk on a rainy day !! Nice walking tour in London 😊👍

[@GeekStreetTravels]

Nice rain walk - eerie Londo! Stay safe WW.

Never expected to see a ghost town version of London. What a time to be alive uh.

[@anne-liseeikahansen]

I liked the shiny, wet streets and the sound of the rain. A special walk. I enjoyed it a lot!

[@watchedwalker]

Thank you Anne-Lise, that's great to hear 🙂

[@WalkingJeju]

Listening to the sound of the rain and walking on the streets of the dawn makes me feel comfortable and calm.

[@silent_walks]

This video of a rainy dawn walk through London is absolutely mesmerizing! The way the raindrops glisten in the early morning light is truly beautiful, and it's amazing to see the city come to life as the sun rises.

[@johnstephens2709]

Incredible video quality, love your walks!

[@cherokeegypsy2617]

One of my favourites on your channel for sure! Lovely London rain... the only thing more special than a nice walk in the rain, is to be kissed in the rain...

All the videos are magical you take us virtually to the beautiful london i have never been . I have noticed that you always start very early in the morning. For example in this you started at 6am right :)

[@lisearchbold6864]

Thankyou for posting. I loved it, rain and all. Next time you are Bishopsgate way could you pop down Strype St? We lived in Brodie House for awhile. Would love to see what it's like now as there was building work going on when we were there. Love from New Zealand.
