My favourite aspect is the headlights of cars being reflected in the wet streets. It's a weirdly comforting distortion.

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.

I just LOVE your night rain walks! So cosy to watch them. Well done, again! I wish an amazing 2022 for you and for everyone watching this video!! A warm greeting from Lisbon :)

[rickcutrona]

I just love the central London walks at night… thank you team..

[ibs]

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!

[cindyg]

I so enjoy watching! Thank you so much for sharing. I especially love when you walk in the rain

[elcaminantebilbaino]
