Yes, what I was waiting for, Oxford Street 29:00 as a Londoner (I now live in the Caribbean) I know this is the craziest part of town, thanks for the footage!

London is my home...It is just visually beautiful and it's nice to see this ..I am optimistic and hope that this makes the world change its habits..norms..expectations of each other. .priorities..It is to teach us something..also about the importance of community social engaging with family friends .to look after who matters in our life and always reach out to those who need a smile..A helping hand..An ear ..A shoulder to cry on..Food. shelter. .etc..There is too much emphasis on false bravado..of stuck up arrogance or should we call it ignorance...Thank you for doing this walk around ..I love walking around these parts ...It looked like a beautiful day...These are my childhood haunts where my dad had a restaurant and where I came with friends..Loved watching the artists doing portraits by piccadily. .The very place I call home is going through something non of us could forsee ..How will we come through this as better people..better human beings.

This was a good choice of route, as this is normally the busiest most crowded part of London. This is also a stark reminder that people are the life blood of this City, not the buildings or the architecture. London is currently lying dormant, a very sad site indeed.

[KevinSiyuan]

this is really such a different scene from my memory of Trafalgar Square and Oxford Circus, there are so few people now, the national gallery still looks as spectacular as ever, great walk thanks for sharing this 👍

[editorinformal]

May sound odd, but for learning the plant of the town through the videos, better watch those recorded during the pandemia.
Thank you for recording them.

[delboyinoz]

Magnificent buildings, magnificent city. Superb video, thank 👍🏻

[yeslamdiyiemmi]

So nice cheers but is there any news when the lock down is off?

[AugustinTomasOBrienCaceres]

I do urban walking all the time. London was just like that this past Christmas, before covid19. Love it!

[volcanoclub]

There will never be another time when London is this quiet. Very eerie

[ashleystephen]

The preacher alongside the empty streets really makes it feel like a disaster movie or something.

A great walk. Good to walk down Regent Street without the heavy traffic of cars and people. Love Hamleys, particularly near Christmas to buy the toys for me and the children. All the side streets have shops and places to eat. When you reach Oxford Street station, you think: shall I go left to Bond Street, or right? So you go left and passJohn Lewis across the road. You still need to turn right and walk up to Tottenham Court Road Station to take you up to Oxford Street, the other way. Oxford Street is a long street. Love it !!!

I don't I have ever seen London so empty. So sad

[adinadin]

Wonderful love London hope to see soon London Amen wish to london to many many tourists

[worldted]

Lovely walk! Big thanks from New York.

[gabrielatodorova]

Wow I haven't seen London so empty :( It's a bit sad, but the city is still beautiful .. Thanks for the walk :)

[steffiegrl]

Feels like a video game where you don't have access to any of the buildings.

[Burek]

Such a great place... red double-deckers and phone booths makes it special..

[shanfarco]

man what the hell was I doing being stuck in the house during lockdown? I should have gone out and explored London, it would have been the perfect time. Nice and quiet with no one to bother me.
