My favourite aspect is the headlights of cars being reflected in the wet streets. It's a weirdly comforting distortion.
I'm italian, in march 2019 i was one week in London with school. My friends and I were guests to a family in Woodford, we went to an english school near Tottenham Court Road stop in the morning and in the evening we visited London. Simce than i dream to return to London but thanks to covid is impossible. Thanks for sharing these videos
Love the West End, even better on a rainy night- full of atmosphere ❣️like being in a film noir, ha! Beautiful quality of course❗️✌🏼LL

I just love the central London walks at night… thank you team..
Love you walking:so we don’t have too. Can’t beat the rainy night ones that’s for sure ,it loads a whole new ambience on the area. I don’t live that far from here...but don’t intend to go there now ,l used to years back in my youth. Love all the fancy railings ,and lantern lights.
This was another great walk in the rain. I love the sound of the raindrops!

There is something strangely appealing about walking with you through familiar, yet absolutely deserted streets in the dead of night, especially if you add torrential rain to the mix.
I am not able to go out and these walks are so nice. Thank you so much..

That was great Watched Walker. I particularly loved the reflections of light in the rain soaked streets as well as recognizing several places which have now become comfortably familiar through your videos. In particular, Leceister Square, Chinatown and Covent Garden. I also loved the various narrow cobbled streets...and of course interacting with many familiar names in the Live Chat. Anyhow, stay dry and see you soon!

Even though the soul of the West End is gone, that walk across the bridge is fantastic.
I remember Green Park like it was yesterday. It’s beautiful and I remember being intimidated by the Ritz.

So cosy to watch these walks from home. Some nights I am in the mood for a busy walk watching everyone out and about and sometimes a quiet one and you cater for both. I really don't like London at all as I don't like crowds but watching it this way kind of appeals somehow!!
