Hi Hon. You're very brave, i've been out in those streets after dark in teeming rain with just a short skirt and hi heels, it's no fun even with an umbrella!. Liked it though. Tell you what, when you're warmed up and brave enough to go back, why not do the same idea but round Whitechapel and the East End. Now i know that area too and after dark even in dry weather, i always got an uneasy feeling. Good luck!

Beautiful! The lights glistening on the paving stones lends a certain old-school glamour which is so evocative.

It's funny, because when we're walking in the rain, we don't really don't appreciate the experience and umbrellas are essential, but looking at rain in a video, art, or photography it's truly beautiful... and of course the sound is awesome.

Growing up in the south west of the UK this kind of weather evokes many memories for me. It makes me remember things like waking up early for school on miserable monday mornings in the dead of winter. Stepping out of my front door and that splash of sideways rain hits you and you feel the cold snap at your extremities. Walking to school it would still almost feel dark because the low rainclouds and the mist would often block out the rising sun so it looked like somebody shining a torch way off in the distance. I used to feel like I was living inside a cloud sometimes. Even back then as a kid I always felt there was a vague melancholy beauty to it. It was like ghosts made of weather swirlling around me.

Recently by watching your beautiful videos, I felt a pleasure has returned, a simple quite walking through the streets is magic. London is much more seduisante through your eyes, especially after almost 27 years of my absence, she seems getting younger and more dynamic, or may be it's just of you. Bravo and many thanks!

one of the best walks in my opinion.

Great video. I can virtually walk through London at 4am watching this video without getting wet.☔️ 👍

I did visit London once for two days and man i miss it so much. I like the buildings, the lights, and also the people i met were very humble and kind. I also really liked the ambience in China Town.

Only catching this a year on, but you can see from this level of wind and rain an umbrella alone is gonna be insufficient to keep you dry. I would’ve recommended a solid pair of wellies and some decent waterproofs, trousers, gloves, coat & hat with some warm stuff to keep you warm underneath, fleece, thermals thick socks etc. Hard to estimate just how wet it was gonna be I guess. Thanks all the same, beautifully shot and super relaxing! 👍💚
