Until Further Notice (Empty London During Lockdown)

London is on lockdown until further notice. We could not pass up a once in a lifetime opportunity to see and film its empty streets.
In reality, it was a little busier than shown in this video, but only along the main transportation lines and commuter roads. Much of the city had an eerie silence and stillness to it. The pigeons seemed to be having a good time.
This was filmed over several days between 4:30 and 8am. Every precaution was taken to keep a safe distance from others at all times during filming.

Absolutely stunning. Loved seeing some of the streets I used to frustratingly have to commute along years back. Makes me want to move back. Miss the beauty of the place. Don’t appreciate it enough.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Looks so eery. Never seen it like that before. Almost apocalyptic.

Incredible shots Julian!

Well done, beautifully captured.

Thank you!

[@JohnSmith-gp3co]

I was working down in London during the lockdowns. It was simply incredible. No other words to describe it. Very strange feeling.

[@sicknote4557]

2 years on and videos like this still make my heart skip a beat. This is definitely a snap shot in history. It’s something that people will cover in history lessons. It was the time the world essentially collectively stood still. I’m classed as extremely clinically vulnerable so I was shielding. Apart from the view from my window and the news Coverage, I didn’t get to see what the world really looked like outside of my little bungalow out in the sticks of Lincolnshire.

[@maxnorden5932]

Great work Julian, thanks for reminding us to always be on the lookout for reasons and ways to keep honing our skills.

[@b00mcake]

Stellar work :) I was thinking I wonder who will take this once in a lifetime chance to film empty cities! :) you did the perfect job

[@teralonmedia]

Thank you so much!

[@elainebowen8602]

This is incredible Julian. Coupled with the choice of Music gives a hauntingly spiritual feel to the video. You’ve captured something that may never be witnessed again. Good job ☺️

Excellent! I love these empty street videos. They’re about the only good thing to come out of this whole mess.

[@judiththomas4491]

Hands down, that’s the most beautiful video I’ve seen of London City. Stunning photography. 👏👏👏

This is awesome. I've wanted to get a feel for how central London looks right now but I live too far out to get there easily myself. Thanks Julian!

It’s beautiful. Bring Lockdown back!!🥺😢😭😭😭😭.

[@edhannigan4327]

Awesome job of my home town.... good to see from many miles away. you couldn't pay enough to get the streets empty to shoot a few years back, now you could shoot the aftermath of an apocalypse on a Sunday morning at 5am :D

[@jorismaasvisuals]

Incredible shots! Thanks Philip Bloom for posting this on FB :-).

[@simonreynolds8641]

Very nice indeed

[@peterbothwell9005]

Very well shot film. I guess most of the streets you filmed would have started to get a little busier from 8am onwards which is when you stopped filming. However, it will still have been relatively less busy than on non lockdown times.

[@teralonmedia]

Absolutely. Around 8am there were a few runners, a handful of commuters, and a number of empty busses. Still very different to regular times.

[@peterbothwell9005]

Thank you for the reply. Thank you for the beautiful shot film. Please take care. Please stay safe.

[@ri-lh3zi]

i remember watching this at the start of the lockdown. What a strange time

[@smileykaren]

Julian just amazing - - guessing the locations from my youthful souvenirs. Well done!

[@RandomVideosFirst]

This is so weird for me to say this as we are nearly approaching 4 years, as I know people have lost someone but for me who hasn't , lockdown one was one of happiest period of my life (especially when furlough was announced and approved by my employer ). I was gyming , baking , gaming (war zone) with the mrs, using house party and teams to day connected with friends and family had a proper daily routine and got so much done around the flat , sure it was was frustrating in the beginning lining for hours in line at Sainsbury's etc just to do a quick shop. Even looking forward until Thursdays at 8pm for the NHS claps truly nostalgic for me.

[@marylou3209]

Wow! Inconceivably. Love this city, greetings from Germany

[@fabienb]

Great to see in video what I tried to capture with my photos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Beautiful video. This video leads me to believe the WHOLE of london stayed home. Not one person out and about........

[@HussainAllaithy]

Fantastic thanks for sharing

[@Glenn1967ful]

On a smaller scale, I had a drive around my local town centre in April 2020 on a Saturday night and everywhere, except a corner shop, was closed. I saw no one on the streets and it was weird to say the least.

[@CarterCreativeContent]

Nice shots, not sure if it's KZbin but I'm seeing loads of moire.

[@kolecava]

Thanks Phillip for the recommendation! Great piece Julian. To shoot during current moment, do you need a pass or can I 'pass' this as "exercise"? 😂 Really wanna capture something of my own during this.

[@teralonmedia]

Thanks! I was riding a bike so it would have been classed as exercise. But filming is also our job, so it can also be classed as work. Just make sure you stay away from other people, it got a lot busier since I filmed this (so I hear). - Julian

[@kolecava]

​@@teralonmedia Thanks for the reply. Yeah I would have imagined it's been more busy, sort of missed opportunity. I am on the c2c line so a bit of travel from Essex and probably more chances of a fine. Might head up one evening and then again once everything goes back to normal to put it in perspective of life spinning back up. Or just capture my own area. Stay safe! :)

I was wondering if it was possible to use some of these clips as archive footage within my project. Obviously you will be credited and watermarked in the bottom. It's only being handed into my professor anyway, so its completed 0 profit use. I know I could have just downloaded it and used it in secret, but I just wanted to ask you to make sure!
