- LONDON | Full tour of Regent Street at night at night from Oxford Circus to PIccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square. This was filmed at night over the Christmas holidays so shows the Regent Street Christmas Lights twinkling away too
London's glittering crown jewel, where history and high fashion intertwine. Imagine strolling beneath grand colonnades, each curve whispering tales of the Prince Regent's grand vision. Sunlight dances on shop windows displaying treasures galore, from iconic flagships like Liberty and Hamleys to hidden gems tucked away in charming arcades.
Carnaby Street, a vibrant offshoot, buzzes with youthful energy, while the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art adds a touch of theatrical flair. As twilight descends, strings of twinkling lights transform the street into a festive wonderland, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a celebratory shopping spree.
Regent Street is more than just a shopping haven; it's a living, breathing testament to London's grandeur. So, take a breath, step onto its storied pavement, and let the magic unfold. You might just stumble upon your next favourite boutique, witness a budding star in the making, or simply soak in the atmosphere of a city that never sleeps.
Ready to explore? The journey begins at Oxford Circus, Piccadilly Circus, or Bond Street stations - your gateway to a world of dazzling delights. Just remember, Regent Street welcomes you with open arms (and open wallets!), so come with an appetite for both wonder and discovery.

A vary good video of LONDON | Full tour of Regent Street at night.😎😎👍👍
Thank you 🙏
This is a lovely video. I have walked these streets so many times but never seen them quite so empty so it was great to see it like this and you have captured the atmosphere of London at Christmas so well. Looking forward to seeing where else you will be walking to in London. I am sure if people have never been to London before that this will make them want to come! I like all the interesting facts you provide too
Thank you
Will try and drop more fun facts into my videos
You know what I was surprised about this video? The fact that there were no sirens flashing by or heard until the end of your video 🤣🤣🤣.
The amount of time's I walked down regent street every few minutes you were seeing a blue light or hear sirens go by.
Thanks for the video 👍👍
Ha ha I know what you mean! 🤣🤣
Loved it Neil - I miss London so much ... cos I now live ooop norf 😢 and will probably never go back down there ... but I know all the streets VERY well having worked all around for 40+ years.
Streets were very empty - no-one has too much dosh to spend these days.
True
Life is so expensive these days isn’t it 😢
London is on my wish list and at Christmas too. Christmas lights and markets. A look at the gardens in London would be nice, in spring?
Will definitely do that 👍👍
Lovely video thank you sharing would love to see the kings horse guards on Whitehall London
Will see what I can do!
Thanks for the ride!
Any time!
More to come!
Watching from Toronto, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
Maybe you'll come here one day!
Oh yes - that would be a dream
Could actually see that happening next year too
Yes, come on over, we would love you to see the wonders of Toronto! Summer is a nice time to come, and all buildings have air conditioning 🎉🎉🎉
Make sure to stay downtown that's where all the action is!
Nice video. How about a video from Dover?
Oooh good idea
Which bit?
Have only ever been round the ferry port before
@@GimbalWalkTV Maybe the city centre or the beach. The walk up to the castle is nice too. I went to Dover for a day back in 2011. Wish I had more. Still, I`d love to go back.
Beautiful London, England 🎉 Do you think you could film Holmfirth West Yorkshire next Christmas into Twilight so we can see all the lights in the windows of that beautiful market town?
I just love Holmfirth at Christmas time 🎉. Thanks kindly, and have a blessed New Year!!!!
I will 100% film Holmfirth for you - remind me nearer the time and I"ll nip there (it's not far from me)
You are so blessed to live near Holmfirth!!❤
Lovely. But you need to check some of those “facts” in the description!
Oh no! Which ones?
