It's nice to know that you can always get a feel of London through a Watched Walker video ❤️

[@cathyshaw1227]

London is the best, thank you Walker

[@JEFFERYSJOHNSON]

Supposed to have been in town this week for my annual trip to London. Thanks for letting me see the city I am missing.

[@ILoveWalksRides]

Looks like a gorgeous day. Love the colour and vibe!

[@waldoiswhereEFC55]

🥰 another beautiful video

[@maggspaine5419]

Very calming,thank you

[@CaroleMora22]

I was there between 2006 and 2007. I can hardly believe how much the area has been developed since then!!! I do love the canals and all the parks. I hope that efforts will be made to restrain over-development.

[@CaroleMora22]

@MM M well, yes, the quality of "soullessness" contributes to a lack of restraint in development. Check out the book News of the Universe edited by the poet Robert Bly. I am reading it this week and the content resonates deeply with your comment in reply.

[@NewYorkWalker]

Really watching Kings Cross Square. It's awesome. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@FedericoVaccarezza]

I'm first!! I love King Cross area!!! Amazing video! ⭐

[@heyfalguni9298]

[@WatchedWalker]

GST, yes the area has transformed for the better. Surprised we’re having this last blast of heat! Need to make the most of it!

[@justwalk4851]

Maybe it's because weekdays. not many people and looks very calm. Nice walking

[@rajindergupta8482]

Good job 👍👌

[@NYCScooting]

Greetings from New York! These boats are so interesting. I always want to live on a boat and I have met a person who does that. Rent freeeee!

[@StreetViewVideoMap]

Nice walk, if I could subscribe more than once I would! :-)

[@thewalker7172]

What a huge construction site on King’s Boulevard. All over the world they are building like crazy. When will the bubble burst? 🤔🤔 😂 Anyway we still have our walks and our walk videos. As always excellent video 👌👌 👍 Many thanks for sharing 🙏🙏

[@WatchedWalker]

Thanks TW, yes so much construction, hopefully it won’t all come to an end suddenly.

[@elliottwadsworth4201]

The building at the start of the video is Google new office. It’s a ground scraper.

[@samsegs]

🎃Keel calm and watch to enjoy 😁

[@kim-travels]

how do you normally film with the dji osmo pocket? do you hold with on a selfie stick/tripod, attach it to a bag, or just hold it with your hands? i like to film with the osmo pocket but i find it quite awkward to just hold it in front of my chest because it draws a lot of attention from people walking past

[@WatchedWalker]

Kim, yes I just hand hold the OP, I’ve gotten used to the attention it attracts.

[@analiliajimenez]

precioso todo muy lindo gracias por mostrar lo hermosa que es inglaterra

[@TropicalFootage]

My dream is to know London!!! I also make videos

[@Lucy0809]

It’s so busy! No wonder cases are rising and I will be forced to shield again 😢

[@daelra]

Walking outside without a mask, where people keep a good distance is fine. It's all the parties and people squeezing into pubs, restaurants and bars that caused the rise in cases. It was nice to be out during July and August so we saw no rises in cases. Once we hit September, the weather got cooler and people went inside in the evening and that's why we're seeing the rise in cases now.

[@balasubs1]

It's a pleasure walking on London footpaths!!

Is it a holiday? Why are there few people walking around?

[@WatchedWalker]

Nagi, no holiday that day, just quiet

[@aaalooploop7610]

現代アート？ 面白い!!

[@johnorchin8567]

I assume you use a gimbal, and do you adopt the 'ninja walk' I ask this because some of your videos are quite long, and it must be difficult adopting a somewhat unnatural walk over a long period of time, or are you able to keep the camera steady in some other way?

[@WatchedWalker]

John, yes I use a gimbal when using the GoPro, the Osmo Pocket as in this video has a built-in gimbal. I try to walk smoothly but not the 'ninja walk' - that would be too much for long walks.

[@eyeofthetiger6002]

@@WatchedWalker the image is still bopping up and down though, not super smooth.

[@ishowspeedfan9218]

Every time I go to London me and my family go here and when I leave I think of what a shitwhole I live in well I do live in a shit dead town and this is my favourite part of London I wished I lived here.

Shame Western Europe so small with narrow streets and no panarama view. Feel claustrophobic

[@debojitmahanta]

Silence is golden. Love your walks and refreshing to sense the sights rather than hear commentary.
