Love it
Junge die Ampel war rot und du läufst 😄😁😆😅
Fascinating. There's something superbly atmospheric about walking along empty city streets on a wet winter night.
Yes, satisfying too especially while watching from my cozy, warm room, while someone else is getting wet for my viewing pleasure.😁
I have to say mate I love the Rain videos you do!
Thanks Tim, all the best for 2022 😀
@@Hogarthnp20 from uk too pls get me to like the rain what's the secret had a lifetime to get used to it but can't see the beauty in it
I find the sound of rain soothing. I love walking in it provided dressed appropriately. The joy of living in Britain is the seasons. Long summer days, short winter days, long winter nights. It must be boring - honestly - to live in a country with incessant sun and heat.
I'd like the chance to get really really bored though.
I love these raining walks the best because hardly anyone is about and it is relaxing and nice to see everything, without all the crowds and no-one getting in your way 😊thank you for this walk i really appreciate it stay well and happy new year to you 💜
IG, thank you and happy new year!
I totally agree with you.
,
"I love these raining walks the best because hardly anyone is about"
Have we watched the same video? Its full of cars, vans, bused, noisey people, ect... sorry, but just found this statement a bit odd! 😄
@@owlthepirate5997 I believe they are referring to people walking on the sidewalk and getting in the way of the person walking because if we had to navigate walking around crowds, that would be the opposite of relaxing.
i love these videos so much, especially rainy ones. so cozy
I've lived in Dubai for nearly 4 years, but I'm a londoner. Even though it's raining and looks cold in this, still a tear to my eye. Nothing like home 💙
Hii
I'm in the Middle East as well, and I've been perpetually homesick for England.
Yes, there's no place like home.
You can take the Brit out of the UK,
but you can't take the UK out of the Brit❤🇬🇧
This is why I love watching The Watched Walker.
I am hungry, can you paypal me a few dollars? I'm sorry to ask.
Lived in Dubai myself and had the exact same experience! Do enjoy it while you’re out there though bro. You’ll love, love & hate being home soon enough 😅
@@MrAronRobinson totally man! I now live and work in Melbourne so a little more rain here 🤗
This is a lovely post and I love watching the city in the pouring rain and lights on in homes and restaurants x but I love most now listening to the rain in my home in the country xx no traffic only an occasional tractor and listening to the wind sat by the roaring log fire 🔥 xx
Thanks Claire, country living does sound very peaceful, that log fire would be lovely to get warm next to!
It says a lot for the freedom we enjoy in our great City, that you can roam the streets and mews in the dark and wet, like some slightly mad tourist and remain free to do so, without fear of being challenged or questioned. People may think it’s odd, but they respect your right to do it. Which enables you to bring us these marvellous videos.
Clobber them with a copy of the Magna Carta if someone questions you. Fundamental rights since the 13th century.
Probably helps that he is walking around one the most exclusive areas in the UK that has private security on most roads
I have a strange question. As an American with access to a large city, I was surprised by all the loud, annoying male shouting in the early part, near Harrods. I think of the British as quiet, sedate people. What was that about? Just asking for information. Beautiful video.
@@mt.shasta6097 I wish that were still true! Where have you been for the last 60 years? It certainly can be as you describe, in places - at times, but London doesn’t exist in a time warp, and times have changed not always for the better unfortunately. Quiet and sedate are relative terms. I think as a general rule the British people do speak and act more quietly than the Americans, but not, at all times, all the time.
LOVE these videos. They put me to sleep almost every night. London is so beautiful and I wish to visit some day. Thank you.
London is definitely one of those cities that looks better in the rain. Thanks for posting!
What a lovely walk!
And thank you for getting drenched so I could enjoy it! 😁🇬🇧👍
So cosy in the rain
You take me to places I've never been. Thank you!
i think cities really come alive when it rains. this is beautiful
Your channel is a godsend in covid times when outdoor activities are limited for all of us. Sitting on the sofa at home (warm and cosy under a blanket) whilst vicariously enjoying walks around beautiful London with you is the best. Thank you so much for all your hard work and giving us so much enjoyment. Sending love from Manchester.💕
My pleasure Suzy, love to Manchester!
Very soothing hearing the rain as you walk. Rain sounds help me get sleep so thank you
Ohh I love a rainy nights walk! Thank you so much!
I can almost..smell the rain......🙂
I love ❤️ looking at rain come down. It brings my blood pressure down.
Iam addicted to your videos,I just play them and start studying. Perfect😍
Wish you the best. 💙🇮🇶
Wow Kensington looks stunning at night god bless n enjoy your walks
The sound of the rain on the umbrella is very relaxing.
Just the right speed and what picture and sound quality - Thanks so much
This is so beautiful and charming 😍 I struggle to understand why there are so many British moving into my country when it's so much nicer and neat over there, whether it's the city or country side. What a perfect blend between old and modern. Love the rain and the lights reflected on the pavement.
Ah, London. The memories. Those sounds are unmistakable
I don’t know if it’s just me but I noticed that the people in London, England, seem so lively, more talkative, and more outgoing then I’ve seen in any other location in a walk through video!
Your rainy night walks are what I go to sleep to every night. Thank you. Not only for all the good nights sleep, but for showing me places I will never see and giving me interesting things to see while I'm on my treadmill.
Christine, you're very welcome - thanks for watching 😀
Maybe one day you'll visit London and it will be a peaceful rainy night 😌
Nice vibrant city 👌 loved the scenery keep it up ....watching from my home in Maryland USA thanks for the relaxing video it's nice to travel in the comfort of my bedroom without leaving it ....
I prefer rainy walks because there are fewer people around, and it is soothing and pleasant to observe things without all the crowds and no one coming in your way. Thank you so much for taking me on this stroll. Stay well and have a nice new year!
I love rainy autumn nights in London, miss my London wanderings.
So relaxing the sound of the rain , iam watching in my bed before I sleep and it’s wonderful, I remember dining in that restaurant behind harrods about 20 years ago lovely memories lovely video 👍
Knightsbridge.. one of my favourite walks in London!! ❤️
Very atmospheric! We need some of that rain in the UK now. Thanks for sharing!
The Harrods building is really cool. For some reason it reminds me of San Francisco or New Orleans.
I Like the rainy night ones best.
The amount of people staring into their phones lol.
Defo a money area ..every other cars a Range Rover or merc.
London in rain is just the nuts. 😊 Superb quality, I can't imagine how you keep it dry but I Iove this atmosphere. The people sitting outside are like it's just a normal day, yet it's a freezing wet winter night. 😲 Such a typical London attitude.
The atmosphere, scenery and character of London''s nicer parts on a rainy night are beautifully relaxing.
But this isn't freezing cold winter. Several can be seen wearing shorts and light clothes, trees all have leaves and flowers are in bloom.
The filming looks to have been done between May and September, and probably not in temperatures below about 15C.
@@dahliagreen5919 It was October, 13 degrees C. It says so in the credits, so pretty chilly on a rainy night. Just saying.
beautiful, relaxing video! thank you 😊😊
I have difficulty walking now. You’ve improved my quality of life. Thank you so much. Yes, I really love rainy! 💯♥️
You’re very welcome Christine 😊
@@watchedwalker its the same for me now as well
This is very evocative, and soothing .
Love this area of London
Hello sir
A big hello to the most beautiful city in the world!For you and everyone:Happy New Year 2022,with love,happiness,and lots of good things.Goodbye London,with love from Italy.Maria.
Happy 2022 Maria, love to Italy!
Good to see people talking to each other and sharing their emotions and having a good time😊 Good walking tour. Thanks
I live in California but I’m originally from the UK and I miss the rain as we don’t get much of it here in the part where I live although we have had more this year than past years but still, I need much more lol so watching your videos like this one (which I’ve watched different times now) is nice and very soothing for the soul and makes me want to get back to the UK that much more I know I know, I live in Cali and I want to go back to England?? Yes, yes I do lol That’s my turf 😄
Thank you for making these videos that really are lovely to watch! They’re a great escape and for me, motivating Thank you
Love from Cali ❤
My pleasure Vicki, I'm pleased you enjoy my walks. Love to Cali.
I am imagining I live in a pad , like Bridget Jones in the first film . Looking out the window on such a rainy night . Then succumbing to my duvet whilst continuing to tune into the pitter patter of rainfall . NICE .♡
Thank you for such an unusual walk in the rain in the evening. I wish you health and success in the new year!😊👍👍👍🌧🌛☔🌞
Tetiana, thank you very much, wishing you all the best for 2022 😀
😘😘😘🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
I really missed walking around that area. Been long years cannot fly back due to covid restriction. Thank you so much for sharing the view
Was that a guy in a full body covid suit coming out of EL&N around 3mins 😆?! Love this video, brings back so many memories as I used to live at South Ken! Walked the exact same streets many many times
Made my day when we got rain the other day :) This is lovely
That's amazing, it reminds me of my student lif in London years ago. always rainy always magic :)
Summer 1976 I lived at 53 Walton Street, great memories thanks for the video flashback, this is the path I walked every day, I got off at Knightsbridge station next to Harrods and walked home sometimes in the rain like in the video at the age of 21 it was just joy...
Awesome gift for my 68th birthday tomorrow....
Happy Birthday Sergio!
Beautiful London rainy night!!!
I love your videos. I hope to visit London someday, it looks beautiful.
Just came across this video, so soothing and pleasant, I'm subscribed. Thank you!
mara235, welcome to the channel 😀
Another beautiful haunting gem. I played Aurora Nights soundtrack to accompany this ..... perfection. Huge thanks WW.
I love London and your videos. Its great to chill in bed and trying to sleep. Greetings from Germany
Thanks Dorti, love to Germany!
Hey Dorti, London is weirdly magical . It's on a major energy line . I have had some almost paranormal experiences there . My grandad and grandmother were married in Spitalfields. In WW2 . They were Irish . London calls.
Like the sound of the rain and the quiet atmosphere of the place
Stunningly beautiful. Thank you so much for filming this.
This by the way is perfect for turning on and watching while walking on the treadmill on the 'not good for outdoor walks/run days. Kind of like walking with you. Great motivator.
I can imagine so! Great you can do that for yourself 👍
I have really enjoyed this particular night stroll through some of the smaller streets and lanes! Thank you.
You have a knack for time for these rain vids 🤟🏽🤟🏽😍
MW, well not all the time! Wishing you all the best for 2022.
Thank you for posting these videos WW. My bf put me onto you. I have insomnia, and these really help me relax and fall asleep. Especially rain, the city, and your canal videos. I appreciate your choices of walks, the weather you tolerate and the times of day you choose. Thank you again WW, and I wish you and yours health and happiness 😊
Celia, I'm pleased you enjoy these walks, I do like filming in these conditions as it's very peaceful. All the best to you too 😀
There are certain locations like at 9:30 - 9:43 where you cross from Walton Place onto Walton Street where just for a fleeting moment the ambient atmosphere of that area just takes on a strange Metaphysical feeling (of the crossing of time and space) through those quiet little streets and i like to imagine that the ghosts of the people who've lived in these same streets over the last few hundred years are somehow watching this solitary person (W.W.) walking and unbeknownst to them, recording their homes in this incredible modern time.
I may be one of the ghosts. In the 60s my best friend lived in Walton St. It had such a special calm and charm. Cant explain it. The house had a creaky dumb waiter that operated on pulleys from the kitchen and rose through the dining room floor above. I often walk there in my mind in the hours before dawn when ones mind wanders back to gentler times
lovely video in the rain
This is so charming. I love the rain when I’m not in it.
😊same
Wow! I’m so happy to see this video in my recommendations! I used to live in that neighborhood when I studied abroad in London about a decade ago. Brings back so many memories. It was so awesome to “walk down” Gloucester Road again :) THANK YOU!!!
aliasmjm, you're very welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😀
Come back and see us sometime!! :)
Stunning! This is living art!
Lived here for three years as an undergraduate whilst studying at Imperial College. Wonderful!
As a travel blogger, I always look to travel news for guidance, wanderlust, and inspiration. For years, I’ve been collecting details about travel while traveling the world, and always enjoy reflecting on them in my day-to-day life. Everyone has a different lens through which they view the world, which is why it’s important to heed the advice and insight of others.
Visiting such destinations like yours make me feel more like an explorer, one of the many joys of traveling......so thank you!!!!!!
Love that RHT, travel is wonderful, I can't wait until I can do more. All the best!
Thank you for the lovely walk in London at night, I love the rain so it's perfect video for me 😊👍
Watched this on 6/26/22, time is 5:29pm, temp is 81 degrees and sunny. Man what a nice walk. thanks.
This content is gold for people in third world countries
I'm amazed at the people sitting at pavement tables eating a meal... they must be frozen!!!!!!🥶🥶🥶🥶 Maybe they're hot blooded aliens!!👽😂 As you know, I love these rain walks... so enjoyed watching this! I love the glow effect to the overall video image and the colouring. You create an artistic edge for an ordinary wet rainy night.🤩 Happy New Year to you... I hope 2022 has a lot more hope in it, freedom to travel and lots of normality. Despite the difficult circumstances you've coped remarkably well... much appreciation for all the great walks you created last year!!🥇🏆👏
Suzy, thanks so much for your kind words. I too hope for more normality so travel will be less hassle. Wishing you all the best for 2022!
hardcore smokers
@@annother3350 Lol. Too true. Necessity breeds robustness.
i love your rain videos. More please....
I give those people dining outside a lot of credit, they're still probably getting wet but look completely unbothered! Thank you for another wonderfully relaxing video, yours are some of my absolute favorites ❤️
WTLR, thanks very much! 😊
So many beautiful and charming streets, thank you.
I love rain but if roads is clean it look more beautiful
lovely rain♥♥♥
Great video in the rain. Love the mews! Thanks!
Your videos have been holding me steady over the past year, while 've gone through the process of getting ready to permanently move to the London area. The wife was born in UK and I am glad to be bringing her home by March! And BTW, nice little WW Easter Egg at 8:18. Well done! ;)
LIL, thank you and well done spotting the logo! All the best with the move to London.
Hope the move went well for you both 🤗
