      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!

      Hi, do you remember a club called in Jacquelins in Wardour Street around 1989/90 - there was steep stairs down
      to this fantastic club, but noone remembers it and any internet searches about it have drawn a blank - just when
      I saw your post sayin' you'd walked the area often..

    You’re very brave to be out in the dark, lonely and super heavy rain! There’s not many people around those quiet streets. I’m enjoying watching your video, but I can’t help thinking you must be truly soaked! Thank you for your dedication to bringing those walks into our cosy homes. You wouldn’t need to be the scared type either! When you get home, I hope you have a nice warm cup of tea to heat you up!☕️☕️☕️and some dry clothes.

      Many thanks Margo! Yes, it was a bit eerie at that hour though because of the heavy rain it felt less scary. I was absolutely soaked making this video, though I did warm up quickly once I got home again 😀

    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.
