Mr.Walker in the video you also show street food of London.

[@heleneg525]

It's nice to see that you started off in my "neighborhood" -- Queensway, Craven Hill. I wonder how many of your viewers have their own "neighborhood" that they return to when visiting London.

In the UK it's spelt neighbourhood.

Thank you very much for posting this video and all the other ones that you do. My daughter and I must have been the London about four times in the past two years itching to get back. I've been taking your videos and putting them into our private group of our trips where I post all our pictures and videos just to give us a reminder

[@WatchedWalker]

You’re welcome Roger! Hope you get back as soon as possible 🙂

I love how you showed the route timestamps on the video! 👍 That was a really long walk...thank you so much, really enjoyed it. I was enjoying looking around and now I have to go back and find all of the Watched Walker logos!😊 Take really good care...stay safe!

[@WatchedWalker]

k Dean, thank you, the timestamps on the progress bar is a great new feature I'm pleased YT added. Good luck finding the logos :)

Tell me about it summer in London, I'm not a fan my old flat in hampstead used to get to 38oc! In the summer and never cool at night it was hell

[@AndrewBuckleBookReviews]

Great seeing some streets I haven't walked down for ages and amazing how they have changed, such as in Paddington area. Thanks for sharing these amazing videos. I am certain these videos will be fascinating to people in 50+ years time (wish there were similar for the 1950s / 1960s etc). Shocking how to see how empty it still is

[@blobba5442]

Omg that Porsche at the beginning of the video! So beautiful. You shouldve filmed that car! Missed opportunity.

[@ShaneHampsheirTV]

Great video. One thing, I can’t believe how swiftly you went past Ronnie Scott’s on the left in Frith Street. Having performed there many times and knowing it’s rich jazz history, it’s definitely a real POI.

[@francoisevitard5272]

Nice walk in London after confinement. Not many people in some streets and this allows you to discover the true face of the streets. From popular streets to chic neighborhoods like Mayfair. I liked seeing the Cartier building which I had seen superbly decorated for this Christmas and then the statue of the Man on Horseback, almost opposite. The Square of Soho too. The shadow of our friend WW sometimes, Very nice!! thanks to him for this very long walk 😀😀😀😀😀

[@doubletap.1272]

I like watching these type of videos in the winter but when it’s summer I wish for winter😭 now I’m wishing for summer

weird seeing London totally dead. Guess it's the lack of tourists making the difference.

[@funksoulbrother3620]

@@mrnoodles100 yes obviously and that's why there aren't any tourists

[@lespaul2000]

It's not just tourists. Many Londoners are still sitting at home since most of the shops are still closed. Many people across the UK disagree with the BS mask policy in shops also.

[@johnorchin8567]

Andy Broon It's not much fun walking around London, when you have to be so careful what you touch, how close to people you get, wearing a mask in shops. It's all so much hassle, easier to stay in when you can.

As soon as you turned on West St. (01:21:30) and there wasn't much to look at, I couldn't help but notice you were favoring one leg. Is your enthusiasm for walking a form of physical therapy? Or did you simply push a bit too far this time?
