Hi there, I really like your videos, not sure how to reach you so I leaving comment here. I just saw Duplicate of one of your Barcelona video, check here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3i3oKefbZ1orrM as i can't report that, the owner has to, so let's decide if you're offended by that. Keep walking, thx.

[@WatchedWalker]

Thanks for letting me know :)

[@derrickwilson9039]

Even on a cloudy dark day London is still a beautiful city! Great video👍

[@DavidInSugarLand]

29:05 The legendary Housman's Books at 5 Caledonian Road, a not-for-profit bookshop since 1945 (although it was started in another location in 1936, in a Peace Pledge Union center in London). The volunteers working there are passionate about books, social justice and free exchange of ideas. A favorite stop whenever I am in the capital.

[@ActionKid]

Congratulations on the 100,000 subscribers! Very nice walk today!

Thanks so much ActionKid!

London-such a unique and wonderful city, full of history, great architecture and friendly people. Hope to return soon. Thank you so much for this marvellous video. Best wishes from Bavaria and stay healthy!

[@VIRTUALJAPAN]

love all the open spaces that you can just spread out and relax! there is so much nice flowers around! with love from japan! ✌🏼

It's sunny in London even a cloudy weather..I love this city😻

[@LetsWalk1]

London is such a beautiful city. I hope I can come back some day.

[@valerioberlusconi8602]

Not as nice as New York

[@amitabhasengupta8781]

@@valerioberlusconi8602 Why such comparison? London is really beautiful. NYC is also beautiful. Both cities have their own characteristics (I hv been to both).

[@leecroft1983]

London has really improved, would love to visit New York but for me... cities i have visit, Barcelona gets my vote. Barcelona is just stunning, very clean too.

[@scotargie7069]

Jeeez ! What a difference.. I came to London in 1983..This area was seriously the pits. Junkie/Prostitution /Muggers paradise and very unsafe to walk in, even during the day...I remember this walk up the side of Kings Cross..Up to the Gas Towers..(Which I think have been relocated further up. ) It was also filled with Squats and a thriving Creative Alternative community

[@Relaxedwalker4k]

Congratulation! 100K! You are the best walker ever!

[@Watchmaty]

Such a cloudy day, makes me cry

[@worldgrill]

Congrats again on the 100K(five months earlier than predicted) and now on to 150K!! I love this area and how they re-developed it, yet kept its charm. I see very few people wearing face masks, it is not required there? Funny watching this in 105 degrees weather in hot and sunny Las Vegas and it looks like October there with the grey skies and people bundled up! Nice job once again and God Speed!!

[@WatchedWalker]

Thanks again Robert. I'd rather have your weather! Face coverings are not required when outside, only on public transport, in shops etc.

[@redamehdihassan1113]

A beautiful and extremely wonderful presentation. My thanks, appreciation and respect to you. I wish you permanent happiness, success and progress in your wonderful work. Health and safety to all of you with the utmost thanks and respect. Greetings.

[@abertolucci9780]

Let’s hope London gets back to normal soon. The new normal is not that enticing.

[@heleneg525]

Wow! Whenever I click on a Kings Cross video, I see more and more construction. There are more cranes than people there! (thought it would've been more crowded). Thanks for posting.

[@nichole8609]

I caught myself a few times as you walked by a couple of people, smiling at them as though as I was there lol. Interesting psychological reaction. I began smiling after that just from being able to see everything. Thank you😊🙏

Ah! Another day, Another area of London. Stay Healthy and Stay Safe!

Thanks for the nice walk again ! BTW, you seldomly walk on a cloudy day 🤣

[@WatchedWalker]

I know, this was a rarity for me!

[@Conan500]

You walked right by Keystone Crescent in Kings Cross, would have been good to include it. A quirky/charming little crescent.

[@WatchedWalker]

Phil, shame you didn't comment sooner, I filmed another video the other day in the same area so could have included it (I walked past again). I will next time I'm in the area filming.

[@ChrisSmith-ls7mb]

Congrats on 100k subscribers. The construction behind Kings Cross what is that going to be? Loved the walk, look cooler then your last walk. It feels like 40 degrees here today. Take Care Chris and Sandra of Canada.

[@WatchedWalker]

Thanks Chris and Sandra! The building being constructed right beside the station is going to be Google offices, and the new building on Canal Reach will be Facebook offices. The amount of regeneration in this area is incredible!

Why is it that major developments in this country always seem to have an air of 'exclusivity' about them?

I really like your videos BUt lately, I have noticed you are panning around a bit too fast and too much which makes me feel motion sick. You did not do this in months/years gone by, can you try to reduce the spinning round etc or at least be more aware of doing it. Thanks again/
