Capturing such an interesting time in history. These will be invaluable to future researchers! Thank you for your contributions, your videos are wonderful.

[@streetsofasia8895]

I agree this channel is amazing

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Love watching your London videos and scary to see all those people and hearing chants, not much social distancing going on

[@alwida5891]

Thank you for the video and share London from your eyes. Brings back all the good memories.

[@smithyPT]

Interesting that the people at 27:42 didn't make any kind of attempt to social distance. Even in a pandemic, some people are unwilling to give space...

[@mikimullis8023]

Ahhh the times we live in.. Stay safe and thank you for doing what you do. So happy to see things getting back to some sort of "normal"

[@streetsofasia8895]

Watched Walker, each time I lay my eyes upon the successful scenics of your channel, I am inspired to continue uploading my own walking videos with the dream of one day achieving similar success levels as you. I hope you never stop!

[@parisnow7289]

London is a beautiful city ! Thank you for the good video

[@johnorchin8567]

What a depressing site in Parliament square where all those people were gathered hoping to see trouble kick off. It's a sad reflection on our society when some people would rather stand around in Parliament square looking for trouble, than take a quiet walk in the sun on the delightful Southbank.

[@keithnichols7926]

How do you know the folks were hoping for trouble? And anyway, none of those people should have been milling about unmasked.

[@ulfilas1334]

Great video as always. When you walk over the bridge at 4:10, I really love how big an expansive it looks.

[@AlexGomez-pe9bj]

Thank you for this videos, they remind me of the London trip I made back in march. Greetings from Spain 🇪🇦

[@Jpkjr52]

A beautiful day in London. Thank you. John in Chicago

[@SweetHopeCookies]

I hope you were wearing a mask walking through the crowded bits. We often taken this stroll when visiting but in reverse from the station. Such a familiar and enjoyable walk on a lovely day in the city! Thank you!

[@marlimartins8121]

It brings me good memories

[@Yixiangsu]

Great video 👍

[@SuperCrazybumblebee]

Thank you again for another wonderful video. London is my favourite place in the world and your videos get me through until I can come back.💕

[@gattu357]

Love watching watched walker thank you so much keep up the good work

[@frankmartin1168]

Another great video

[@craigjkb]

In 2014 I went to London I stayed at the Park plaza hotel so much has changed the railing and the black concrete stoppers for vehicles in case a terrorist attack.

[@mekol3923]

Love London love from India 🇮🇳.

[@meerfaiaq]

I miss London so much !! :(

[@Trini84818]

I'm watching this video and trying not to cry because I had to cancel my UK and Europe vacation this year. Thanks Covid 19, thanks alot.

[@asimealmuharrmi]

Thank you so much🌹

[@imranzazai7404]

London is very beautiful and intresting.

[@martalopez9448]

Awesome video...I love London...I miss to walk there...however I'm worry about why they don't care about to keep distance with the terrible pandemic the world it's suffering now...🤔😯😟

[@muniyamakhtar6710]

I really enjoyed!love from India!

[@BAIRESWALKER]

Everywhere it seems to be returning to normal, slowly ... except here. Nice walk!

[@HongKongWanderingTV]

So crowded wow 😮

[@keithnichols7926]

Why on earth were all those people aimlessly milling about in the street at the beginning of the video? And way more unmasked pedestrians and cyclists were everywhere than the current pandemic warrants. At 15:35 a notice was pinned to a fence at the Southbank Centre that apologized for the fence, attributing its presence to government regulations. We don't need to apologize for following regulations, even though the regulations may prove useless.

[@shaoorlondon6793]

Unbelievable that’s amazing 😘😘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Hello Mr. Watcher Nice walk, what nice day. I saw the guy carrying the golf clubs and was wondering where was going to play and you turn a corner and you where at Blackfriars train station, so he must of come from playing golf somewhere south of the city. Thanks for walks. Take care Chris and Sandra of Canada.

[@WatchedWalker]

Thank you Chris and Sandra, greetings to Canada!

London looks busy at this time even though it was still during the Lockdown

[@NewWalker]

It’s good to see more people on the street !! Thanks for sharing!! 😊👍

[@travelpixels2415]

Great video keep up the good work, I was wondering what camera are you using and what setting you have on, do you do any color grading?. I have a gopro 8 do you think i can achieve such a clear crispy image?? Thanks in advance.

[@WatchedWalker]

TP, thanks, camera details are in the description (it was an Osmo Pocket), I often just have it on auto and yes, I do some colour correction/grading. I have many other videos filmed with a GoPro, so you'll be able to see how it looks.

Nice place LONDON!!!

[@Nan01040]

thank you

[@canferhatyldran4990]

Great video like every other videos. I want to come England 1 or 2 weeks later but some of the people says now it's too hard to get visa because of covid-19. Is that true? Can you help me about this guys?

[@anthony.m5432]

LOVE WATCHING UR VIDS ❤

[@asifanwaar73]

Can u tell which camera did you use for this video?

[@WatchedWalker]

Asif, camera and gear details are in the description :)

[@bassomalbarasy2214]

thankkkkkkkkkkkkkfull

[@4seeableTV]

What program are you using for your location graphics (street names, POI, etc) ? Thanks

[@WatchedWalker]

CrazyWedz, you mean the closed-captions/subtitles in this video? I do add them in KZbin. If you mean my older videos where the text is actually in the video, I used After Effects.

[@leocristao]

I really liked your video, congratulations! I have the feeling of walking in the city. I had a question: wouldn't it be necessary for everyone to use the masks? Maybe because of Coronavirus ... I saw only a few people wearing the masks. Thanks!

[@nelliemelba4967]

Face coverings are only mandated on public transport and hospitals, GP practices etc. Thankfully. Why, on a beautiful, sunny day outside, where obligatory distance can be maintained, people voluntarily smother their airways, is beyond me.

[@AlanVByrnes]

another great walk ❤️❤️❤️and love seeing seeing the red telephone both❤️❤️❤️ do people still use them?

[@meerfaiaq]

yes

[@megaphoenix2001]

yes they do they use to be all over the uk years ago but now most people have mobiles

[@keithnichols7926]

Right now, anyone using a public telephone is risking his life!

[@jasminaf6398]

What's going on in London? So many people on the streets...

[@keithnichols7926]

Walking about in London can be the city's most invigorating occupation, and it's understandable that folks want to do it, especially in good weather and even with pubs, restaurants, and shops closed.

[@Ibrahim_Sahil]

👍👍👍👍

[@Awholekit]

This is what happens when a million people are all at once like "I wonder what it's like to go outside when it's locked down". Their friend is like "Should I bring a mask? And their like " nah it's cool nobody is out....it's a lock down."

[@matrags]

Lockdown?

[@서울워크]

Many people are out on the street.

[@DFandV]

Hence why transmission is high unlike you guys.

[@nowhereman6734]

The river went shallow?

[@WatchedWalker]

Yes, the tide was low, it varies throughout the day usually.

[@missandmistercooking]

Camera models number???

[@MissMellyVee]

🤗Hello WW, fabulous capture and certainly a gem for posterity, filmed as ever - impeccably. It is comforting to see and hear so many Patriots willing to protect their heritage and ready to take on anyone who threatens it, it is heartwarming actually in a world that at present seems completely bonkers, and damage beyond belief all because of politics. So happy you have had the opportunity to once again be out on the streets where you belong LOL and I mean that in the nicest possible way, where you belong filming London for all of us, your fans, Thank you sweetheart 🤗 &💋's

[@WatchedWalker]

MMV, thank you so much, it's great to be out filming again and enjoying the lovely weather while we had some! Each time I go out filming there's more people around, which is wonderful to see, I just hope there isn't a setback. All the best to you 😘

[@Lucy0809]

Not much of a lockdown though!! Far too busy x

[@alfredovalenciagarcia7245]

The Westminster Bridge is so damaged, I can't believe it. A lot of graffiti

[@t3rum]

Can you give us a little context? Why are there people stood in the streets drinking lager? Why does it sound like there’s a football match going on nearby? Why are police huddled in groups everywhere? Why is no one wearing masks?

[@sairahtariq6267]

Exactly.. Howww that possible?

[@WatchedWalker]

It was a protest or counter-protest, to do with protecting the monuments from being vandalised I believe.

[@Julian-1111]

Edit the first 1/4 of it out and i would like it . Cheers from San Diego, ca

[@WatchedWalker]

Thanks Julian, I try to show the reality of what's going on while I'm filming.

[@cherylharewood2549]

Where are the face masks ?

[@JLGASS223]

Why is everyone gathering together at the beginning including police?

[@sairahtariq6267]

Thoughtful

[@WatchedWalker]

Jay, it was a protest or counter-protest I believe.

[@keithnichols7926]

@@WatchedWalker Not an effective "protest" if onlookers can't tell for sure what it is, let alone what it's about.

[@alfredovalenciagarcia7245]

You never answer my questions, really is that safe to walk around at night?

[@WatchedWalker]

Alfredo, central London is pretty safe, in normal times it's fairly busy day or night.

[@wiktoriamajchrzak2733]

How about the epidemic in London?

[@josemarcelo5363]

Many without mask

[@Sh-cr2cc]

😗😗😗👌👌👌💖💕💖💕💖💕💖👧

[@elliottwadsworth4201]

Counter protest to BLM?

[@WatchedWalker]

Elliott, yes I believe so.
