If I could choose a country / town I'd love a walk through a town in Hawaii, Mexico, Sweden, Germany, Italy 😍
@@kollmann-fan4325 I'd love to do more travelling and walks in new places!
Creepy but enjoyable. You are brave sir to walk these streets in the wee hours. Even today in modern times they are still eery. Stay safe. Thanks.
It is so unsafe now .
Nothing creepy about it. In this part of London it is the living you need to be fearful of, not the dead.
@@alexandervalaris72 " It was a woman or a freemason. No real mystery" .... lol well that narrows it down then
@@youweechube agreed. There is no verifiable proof of the individual responsible and it is very doubtful we will ever know.
@@ds1868 the point is that even the commenter has basically only limited it to over 50% of the population and believes the mystery is now solved lol
There are so many little walkways, alleys and paths that branch off and circle around. Add in the rain, darkness and quiet and you have a super spooky walk. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks very much SSP, I do love the narrow alleys and walkways.
There was even more back in the day. A lot of the older buildings were demolished and rebuilt after WW2
Quite a lot of the East End looks nothing like it would have in 1888. Much of the east end of London was bombed out during the War. That, plus general changes over the decades. To be honest, I understand that large swathes of Whitechapel were radically changed even before the 1940s, as the JTR events caused the powers that be to start paying some attention to the awful conditions there. It's still a pretty run down area, but now populated with some gentrifying art-school types.
Some of the details in this are amazing. The shadow of the Watched Walker that pops up from time to time, the reflections in the puddles, the sound of the falling rain. Wonderful!
Watching from New Zealand once more…could almost feel the Rippers presence on this eerie rainy walk with you ! I very much enjoy your videos which are always without a commentary leaving we viewers to just sit and watch ,not to listen! Resulting in a much more relaxing laid back experience .You are to be commended for all the interesting walks which give so much pleasure to us
Thank you so much for your kind words Maureen, it was eerie to film! Love to New Zealand 😊
Kai Ora! Me too
This was a fascinating tour. Very chilling to see these places but also the rain and empty streets really added to it. These buildings still look creepy but I love the look of them. Thank you for this walking tour, I loved it.💙
My pleasure Nichole, thanks for watching this creepy walk 😀
Being a Londoner I love your videos anyway but this one was particularly amazing as I have about 10 books on Jack the Ripper and did the tour years back. You could almost imagine Jack himself filming this. Thank you as always.
Thank you lakotamoondancer, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
10 books about him? wow i didnt know there is so many. Greetings from Tricity in Poland! london is amazing- before covid we visited it every year from 2014
Who do you believe the Ripper was? I think the latest suspect, Hyam Hyams could well be Jack the Ripper.
I think Jack the Ripper is the ancestor to Sutcliffe aka Yorkshire Ripper there had to be some memoirs or journals that Jack the Ripper kept hidden in the streets of London somewhere.
Do you have the MP Priestley book?! He guided my JtR walk. Fascinating!
Hitting the buzzer straightaway on this one. Middle of the night, heavy rain, no one around. Very atmospheric. Thank you! Watching from Australia.
Thanks Edwina, greetings to Australia!
Back to the London world of 1888...
Love the sounds, the rain, the darkness, the mystery, the eeriness of London's Whitechapel. Great work
Thanks so much Greenpoloboy3 😊
@@watchedwalker Your welcome! Thanks for noticing & reading my comment too! :)
It's giving my shivers knowing that some of those buildings are still the exact same buildings that Jack The Ripper may have stepped foot in...
man, how do u even have the courage to walk alone in at this time without being mugged, salute to you sir,..
He also walked Soho in the rain at 4 a.m. How much sound editing did he need to do to hide his balls dragging on the pavement?
@@BillPeschel Soho is actually ok being part of the West End. The East End however is not recommended.
@@ds1868 Soho is worse
Lol
@thelatenightgamer2624 Funny how in America, places with the same names are so different. Our Soho in NYC is one of the richer areas to live in the city. It's highly sought after.
Lots of love from India... grew up reading sherlock holmes.... This place gives very mysterious vibes... Heartfelt thanks to you friend for sharing this amazing experience throughout the globe.❤
You're very welcome Stephanie! 😊
Ripper walk in rainy London , superb content , watching from Australia and nobody's doing it like Watched Walker 🥳👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks so much selinaCC1, that's really nice of you to say! Love to Australia!
i was in the hanbury st house in 1968 along with james mason and the camera man and the lady tenant of the house at that time , the interior was like a time capsule apart from the shiny new cooker in the antiquated kitchen . she bought the cooker from the five pounds she received for allowing us to film at her property.
i had lots of nightmares as a reasult for sometime after that , it seems jack the ripper had followed me home becuase i called him out several times while i was there , spooky it was, i felt an over whelming depression whilst there, never forget it
No way would I have walked that without 20 people being with me! Fantastic!
Bloody hell you’re brave walking around London at that time mate! Loved the video though 👍🏻 Belter 👍🏻
Thank you Rich!
@@watchedwalker WW don't mind you walking the West End at night or the City of London but not the East End. It's not safe at all. All the original east enders are gone. Please be careful.
What a fantastic walk, very creepy, just waiting for Jack The Rippers ghost to jump out from an alley and grab you!!😀
Thank you for such a nice walk. The night, the rain...creates a wonderful atmosphere! Again, thanks to take the time and risk for walking such interesting sites!
I loved this one , I've read about the Ripper murders for years and you captured the atmosphere of what it would have been like to walk through the backstreets of London in 1888. I've walked past 29 Hanbury St a few times and even in the full light of day I find it to be a very eerie place.
Thanks morganthedruid1, it's hard not to find it an eerie place after learning about the history there, I know I did!
My dear, the videos are always great, at any time of the day or night. This was particularly seen with a lot of thrills. The rain, the night and the atmosphere of 1888 are all felt. You are good and I give you my warmest compliments.
Thank you so much Francesco! 😊
BEAUTIFUL 😍 The city is 100 x prettier than Los Angeles.. Thank you for the walk in the morning rain, and all the information about "Jack The Rippers", victims..I hope you didn't become sick. Keep up the great work.
Love it. I do this walk every couple of years. The atmosphere is like no other. The alleys are particularly creepy. Thank you.
Went on one of the Ripper tours when in London in 2019. It was interesting to see you cover some of the exact places we were. Creepy in the rain and in the wee hours of the morning but oh so enjoyable!
Even though a lot of the buildings from JtR’s time are long gone, you can just feel that malevolence still lurking👀
Okay who ever did this walk is brave as hell, I would not walk anywhere alone in the dark at 2am in the morning.
2am*
You mean, 2:00 a.m.
Why not?
How else would you get home drunk and out of the pub?
I live in Whitechapel and do it nearly everyday, it’s not bad at all😂
Be careful or jack the ripper will get you
(THIS WAS A JOKE IM SORRY IF I OFFENDED YOU)
You are a very brave man. This area can still be dangerous, especially after midnight! Stay safe WW! You nailed it with this video, well done! 😀
Thank you UWE, it's nice to hear from you, and yes I'll try to stay safe, it's not something I'd be doing regularly!
It’s not dangerous.
@@FatUglySadMan it's very dangerous and you know why.
@@ds1868 err no it’s not , lived in e2 all my life. The whole area is safe, stop being hysterical
Fantastic video Watched Walker, absolutely brilliant, massive credit to you for being out filming in the rain at 2am, now THAT is commitment! All the best, Angela PS 38:22 - guy with the Nike bag "uh oh, it's 2am and I'm being followed by a guy with a camera... don't make eye contact... walk slowly and confidently away....no sudden movements..." 😂
Thank you so much Angela! I think I was more frightened than he was, it was very eerie at that hour!
As someone from across the pond who has long held a fascination for the Whitechapel murders this has been recommended to me a few times and only now did I check it out. I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner. It's one thing reading about it, and even taking an online tour with a guide doesn't do justice to walking the streets in silence during the time of day when Jack himself roamed. Seeing your shadow on the wall even spooked me a couple of times.
Wow. That was seriously an experience. Thanks so much for doing that. Incredibly cool.
This was a great tour and thank you! I love your walking in the rain videos and especially enjoyed the 4am one. :)
I was born in Whitechapel (The London Hospital) and lived in Aldgate East until the age of four. My aunt and cousins have lived in Whitechapel all their lives. Thanks for posting; I enjoyed seeing where I was born and lived as a child.
Awesome concept and the rain really added something to the atmosphere of the tour.
It's still beautiful I count everything. This night is special like any other rain in whichever city you live in. Gathering everything detailed in the rain is awsome. Greater and compelling. JAck the ripper knew nothing of special treatment but of course its harsh living in 1880s London. A big great deal. 😊🎉❤
You are much braver than me. This is so much more creepy than the walks around central London.
Perfect. Thank you so much❤
Hi WW your videos move from super to fantastic and then beyond! Thank you for some great content, always looking out for new videos from you. Stay safe my friend, thanks again.
Great walk and knowing London like I know I am not sure I would have done that walk at 2am 😂 nice walk buddy 🎉
Thanks WL 👍
Thanks for your hard work and taking this beautiful video for us. Enjoyed. 😍👍
Great work!! Looking forward to these videos.
Why i am seeing this just now!! So fabulous idea, I love every minute!
I would never be brave enough to do this bike ride myself in that area (especially at that time of night) so thank you for allowing me to experience it vicariously through you. 🙂
I love this one ! I keep watching it, the noise of the rain is really relaxing, glad to see you had an umbrella this time around mate 👍🏻
I thought I was the only weirdo who found it relaxing lol
🤣🤣 No you’re definitely not on your own 🤣🤣👍🏻
This video is amazing.. the quietness and rain with the footsteps.
Thanks 😊 for make us this beautiful video
That was awesome. Well done. Really atmospheric.
Loved the vintage look, the night lighting and seeing your shadow on the walls once in a while was pretty cool too. I really enjoyed it, thanks!
Thank you so much Steve!!
Thank you for this, I truly enjoyed! The late night/rainy walks are my fave!
Jaime, you'll be pleased with some upcoming videos then!
Fantastic videos 💞 very relaxing indeed. Best wishes from Melbourne 🐨
Thank you A. Xael Z, love to Melbourne!
Amazing video,love this!!thanks,a trip to the past where you can glimpse what that place was,greetings from Spain ❤
Thank you CI, love to Spain 😊
Love it, very atmospheric!!!
Always been a Ripper fanatic, but this is amazing! I live in America, and Ive been to London a long time ago, but this makes me want to go to the East End this time! I love the no dialogue, smooth walk of the camera. My 14 yr old daughter is watching now and loves it!
@jackiewilson8772 Thank you! I'm pleased both you and your daughter enjoy it.
Like many others I felt the presence of Jack even after 130 years. I was spellbound. My tummy churned with dread. When your walk was over I slapped myself back to reality and splashed cold water on my face. A perfect lead up walk in what will be one of the scariest Halloween's ever!
Thanks so much Frank, it was certainly eerie to film this walk!
The archway to the alley next to the White Hart is dreadful!
Supper. Thanks for sharing videos like this. Fan from Canada
Love love it , thank you, I was there this year in March 2022 it was amazing , but love your videos too especially this one , thanks❤
We can't tell you how much we enjoyed your 2a.m. rainy Whitechapel, London walkabout, beautiful!
What fun my friend what a hoot for sure a great walk 🚶♀️ thank you Mr. WW so glad I didn't miss this take good care my friend 🥰
Glad you enjoyed it CK, the premiere was fun! 😀
A very spooky walk, intriguing and nerve-racking too. Was surprised to see those people standing on the corner in middle of a wet night wearing light clothing and SHORTS.
Did a tour some years ago but never filmed the area like this .Thanks from Sydney . Amazing effort .
Thanks Dang, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
LOVED this one. Found myself a bit scared at times. lol. thank you
I would love parts of this to be the opening shots of a movie.
Beautiful atmospheric video. I liked it very much. I'm waiting for more similar masterpieces from you
Thank you very much KA!
I definitely concur with all the comments on here, it was an eerie place, then and now. We are all watching from far flung places but you are out there doing the walk, I like to imagine a bodyguard walking very quietly behind you so that you feel safe but I think I am dreaming !! Take care out there, but do keep bringing us these amazing vids, thank you WW !!
Thank you for the history walk. I think the rain set the tone for the theme!
Lovely video but youre pretty brave to be walking around some of those streets alone at night
you walk in the midnight looks no one and so quite but it is raining there so special walking tour thanks for sharing 👍 😀
I've been waiting so long for you to do a video like this!
WOW! soo beautiful!😍😍
You are awesome watched walker! I love this video!!!!
Love the dark rainy walks. I draw my curtains, turn off the light and breathe in the atmospherics.
You are too cool! Lovely walk, much thanks!
Thank you CG! 😃
so beautiful and soothing.
i love your videos.
it couldn't be better.
just beautiful.
You are so kind Barty! 😊
I love it 👍 So quite and peaceful 😴 this is totally perfect for relaxation ☔💤
Cheers Irfan 😊
0:40 seconds someone to your right opens an umbrella?...
Angela, yes that made me jump!
@@watchedwalker Very rare😅... Greetings my friend🤘🏽🇨🇱
I've just come across this & just thinking glad u survived this walk unscathed!! I felt u'r unease on a couple of occasions & felt u walked a little faster! Stay safe.
Who doesn’t love a creepy walk???
As a relatively new subscriber, I am slowly working my way through all of your videos and I must say, this is my absolute favourite so far!! ❤️💕❤️💕❤️
Welcome to the channel JJ B, and thank you, it was a fun walk to film 😀
What a great thumbnail and thanks for the walk
Thanks Lee 😊
Great vid, spooky !
Great episode ready for Halloween 🎃
Hello Watched Walker!How are you?Such a fantastic rainy video,enjoyed this walk so much,BTW these streets are so clean
Thanks FQ, I'm good ta, hope you are as well 🙂
😍Impresionante 😍 me encantan todos tus videos no me pierdo ni uno,muchas felicidades😋🌟
Thanks so much NCAM 😊
That was so good ! Because of the rain and the time in the early hours of the morning it was filmed by the silent cameraman, it rendered the mostly deserted streets a more eerie and sinister sense of doom and gloom. As to the cameraman, you’re a braver man than I Gunga Din ! Thank you.
with a
I watch your videos daily looking for areas to visit in London and I gotta say I’m obsessed and love them! You be safe doing those 2am creepy walks though but I love the descriptions of the spots you stopped at! I hope to see a Halloween walk too!
🖤🔪💀 👻 🎃
Thank you JNT, it was very eerie at that hour, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Love the video thank you so much, I was there this year 2022 n had a little tour of those streets I could feel the energy scary but love the history , watching your video made me feel like I was there again) I was thinking how brave you are for doing this at this time of night , thank you was awesome ❤ stay safe!!
Thanks Jeannette, I'm glad you enjoyed this walk, it was rather eerie at that hour!
My old neighborhood of late 1990's - some of the greatest adventures and memories of my life! I still have dreams of this area. - And the fade out on my old flat at corner of Cobb St. and Leyden St. Dreamy! Thanks.
Your video is really gorgeous
On a scale from 1 to 10, you’re an 11.
An 11, that's high praise, thank you RHT 😊
Sounds is amazing
SUCH a perfect video for Halloween week! I absolutely loved it! The rain even helped you out with scene-setting.
Thanks WTW 😊
Great job WW. You are becoming a real night owl. I watched this late at night for full effect.
Thanks Greg, yes I do prefer the nighttime, though it can be a bit scary doing walks at that hour!
Excellent work....would be nice to see what it's like in the daytime
Thanks Piper, I've done a few videos during the day in this area 🙂
We need MORE videos in the night, WOOOOOOW!
Again 'The other side of Town'.. love it!!
Love it! 🖤🎃🦇
Atmósfera inquietante... Buen video! Fuera de lo habitual en tus salidas... Nos gusta. Saludos desde Argentina.
Thanks so much GG, greetings to Argentina 🙂
Perfect for Halloween!
I have been living there! Really nice :) I am starting to do the same in Spain. You are an inspiration.
