- London Bridge Walk Through History
London Bridge is where London all began after the Romans arrived and set up Londinium. In this walking tour Joolz takes you to The George Inn where William Shakespeare and Charles Dickens drank and The Tabard where Chaucer started his pilgrimage for the Canturbury tales.
Then walk over London Bridge which is rich with history and past the monument to the great fire of London. See where the old London bridge came ashore at St Magnus the Martyr and then bend your steps past Old Billingsgate fish market and up to St Olaves where Samuel Pepys is buried with the first victims of the plague.
Then over to London's oldest church All Hallows By The Tower where Richard the Lionheart's heart is buried and see a 2nd century Roman pavement! Finishing off with a pint at The Hung Drawn and Quartered!

I somehow lost the login password. I love any assistance you can offer me.
@Wayne Collin Instablaster ;)
@Elias Killian i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Elias Killian It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account !
I've visited London three times by now and there never seems to be enough time to see everything. It's always: "This goes on the list for next time..." And now, thanks to you and these amazing videos, there's even more to see. Thanks!
Thank you. I'm glad people enjoy them because they take quite a long time to make. Cheers!
Hurry before the muslims take over
@@philbemji3337 There's always one 😂 And how long do you reckon before they 'take over'?
@cindybin2001 Cindy"get in the" bin
Too big. Too much to see.
Great video Joolz, It's amazing how much more history there is that is normally overlooked.
Yes, it's everywhere, especially near the river...
Joolz you are awesome! I'm a history student studying in London and have always been fascinated by quirky history which mostly goes unseen or heard of by people! Your videos always make me smile and I get super excited when I see something new on here to then go and explore in the city!!
Keep up the awesome work!

cindybin2001 What are you on about? This comment wasn't intended for you. Why should I have to bash other people for whether or not they drink? This comment was about being a history student, not a being a bloody missionary. Piss off. Go back to playing with your pony's.
Thanks Holly. Yes, they take quite a while to make and there is a lot of editing involved so I don't always manage to get one out every week. That's the aim though! I have 3 or 4 ready to edit though so there should be some more coming up.
Shame on you lol you missed out Tooley Street one the most important streets in the history of this country. As you probably know it was once called the larder of England and for good reason. It was the cargo unloaded in the upper and lower pools of the Thames that was said to have fed England
@DerpyDinosaurCreations well said mate
@@ItsADinosaur Carrie Nation lives!😏🍺🍻🚫
anything Saxon gets my attention. Many thanks for this video. London is obviously ancient - but most is built after the Great Fire. Its those hidden older bits that are rather exciting
Just wanted to say that my Summer study abroad trip to London (Drama Major) was rescheduled to 2021 due to covid-19 pandemic.This broke my heart since I have never travelled outside of the USA.THANK YOU for giving me a small taste of England and London via your channel.I hope that you are well.I'm sure things will get better in time.
I visit to. London 1 month.. And I see. Many more place.... Your information and details are all right ✔ ... Thenk you..
As an Englishman with many hundreds of years of traceable ancestry from the West Country, I'm enjoying your videos of our capital city. I really should visit London more often. Only been about 15 or so times and there's much more to it than meets the eye.
Love all your London videos. I visited London, Manchester and Liverpool in September 2019. I walked across London Bridge both ways on a gray, overcast and windy day. Very chilly and windy on that bridge but what a magnificent view! Luckily there is a very nice coffee shop at the foot of the bridge.
This was the first Joolz Guides video I saw and I went to see the Roman timbers after climbing the Monument and stopping by All Hallows by the Tower on the very day I arrived. I love London so much! Hello from Costa Rica, Joolz. Hope you come to visit us some day! ;D
Thank you very much for taking me down memory lane. Such excellent work. I was born in London 1961, as were mother& my grandparents. I can remember my grandmother singing all those lovely old songs. My mother and her had to spend time in the underground during the war
I was born in the borough of hackney, Stamford hill. Bethune rd, it is where my parents lived when they first married, as they worked in Golders Green.
In 1962 they moved to Dunstable. Always in London until recently.
I will see what I can do about a donation.

Julie Harnett
Your videos are the best. I could spend the whole day watching your wonderful tours of my favorite city.
Greetings from Dallas
I’ve been to London once, and can’t wait until I visit again. These videos only reinforce that desire to visit again! Thank you from Florida, USA Joolz!
When the old London bridge was shipped over to Arizona it was shipped block by block. All pieces was numbered and was put back together exactly as it was in London. You can still see the numbers on the blocks.
mark allen Just like the Middlesbrough transporter Bridge.Dismantled by Oz ‘Dennis ‘Neville ‘Barry ‘Moxy’Bomber ‘Wayne son.
Wow..didn't know that..thanks for the info!
Joolz, thank you for this video and amazing tour. Ive been living in London for few years and never visited the churches you showed in your video. My friend is coming to visit me today and I know what we are doing at the weekend! Thank you again :)
Great Video, (and already subscribed) My Great Great Grandmother was sold to the George Inn as a young teenager to cover a gambling debt, (I have some 1800's dates on this I will add later) She was sold to the pub to work to cover the sum of £21, When I have visited the George (I used to live Oxford and now Devon) I make sure my bar bill comes always come to £21+
LIke most Americans, I thought Tower Bridge was London Bridge and when I first came to London, My English nephew, who grew up in London, he was showing me around town and was telling me Uncle Evan, are you sure you want to see London Bridge not Tower Bridge, because London Bridge is kinda just a plain bridge, but I insisted, no I want to see London Bridge, and he was like, okay - when we got there I was like, Oh....your'e right...wah wah
Well, at least the view from London bridge is much nicer (since you can see Tower Bridge) and also the history is far more interesting and significant so I think you were right to insist! Anyway, you can see them both from there so you took two birds with one stone!
Your'e right, plus it's close to Borough Market, which is where we walked from...next time I'm in Arizona I might to trek out to Lake Havasu to check out the original London bridge. I'll make sure to bring my camera too :)
I'm catching up on the oldies! This was an excellent walk round all the sometimes gruesome but fascinating streets - loved the last bit with the Roman paving. As you say "touching history". On my bucket list!
As usual - I enjoyed this. Makes me want to visit London. Meanwhile, I suppose I’ll just sip a cold Bass beer. Cheers.
so happy I stumbled upon your Channel! I live near by
Such a nice program indeed,keep them coming o'bean ,Farrus from Argentina
Brilliant, mate.
I love your videos!!:) they are the best to talk about london , have a lot of things in London that we walk through and we didn't know about it.. thank you for sharing you knowledge with us ❤️
Thanks Danny. It's lovely having such knowledgable subscribers too.
Another fun and interesting video Julian! I'll say it again ... all you watchers ... you haven't experienced London until you've experienced London with the tall chap in the bowler. Book your walking tour now ... you won't regret it. How's that for free advertising J?
Very nicely said, Matthew! Thanks! I guess you're back in California now all settled down and back to work?
Yes but dreaming about our next visit to London. Come visit California!
I need somebody to love me. Need somebody to carry me home to San Francisco and bury my body there......
My favourite Hoagy Carmichael song. Hong Kong Blues!
Love your channel. Since I have family in Prescott, ill have to take a holiday.
I've a mate who lives in The Borough and 2 weeks ago we had a pint in The George before going to Edwin's for a very bloke-ish Chateaubriand and a couple of bottles of claret followed by cheese and a half-bottle of port. I love that part of London.
Based on your William Wallace comment, though, I am away to sharpen my rather rusty broadsword and your bowler may be one titfer short of a head ;)
Crikey! I better watch out! What I meant was that it was William Wallace who was the first to have his head displayed there so I think the grisly custom started with him. I suppose he was only seen as a traitor by the English of course. A hero in Scotland for sure...and now a Mel Gibson lookalike by everyone else :(
You're probably right that I need a new hat though! Edwin's sounds rather excellent! I haven't been there but that sounded like a most tolerable evening you had with your friend!
I was actually in London Bridge less than an hour before the attack (spent the afternoon having a couple of pints).
Great video, you missed the new cavern under London Bridge station. It's huge, it's amazing what can be done with a billion pounds!
It's funny how the stigma of South London being a dodgy area still exists to today.
Maybe you could do a video following the wall and how it has shaped modern London?
Still waiting for you to help, Gareth! There was so much to say about the area I just have to squeeze in what I can.
Oh, man! I have just discovered your Channel! And I'm loving all your historic tips! Are you a history teacher? 😉 Congrats! And your british accent is the best part! Adorable! Keep it up! 👏👏👏
Ha ha...no. Not a historian..that's why there's a slight error in this one! Richard's heart isn't under that church! It's just a legend!
The facts fly at an extraordinary rate. Keep up the good work. Subscribed.
2019 here. Video still rocks.
As always great videos, thank you for all the information and to take me where I will never be able to go, 👍👏👏👏
Thank you...very fine .
Nice of you to mention Florence! By the way, should you make a video about Florence, do feel free to contact me for anecdotes and accurate information.
I love watching your videos, especially Take me to Pitcairn.
At 0:33 when you mentioned Geoffrey Chaucer I had to pause and take a photo of the screenshot so I could visit it later on.
I really appreciated your videos..congratulations from Brazil
Another great watch. Very much enjoyed seeing the little crypt. Ever been to Crossbones Garden? Cheers Cheers cheers cheers
Joolz, did you know this ? It was a policeman who made that model of Medieval London Bridge in the church. If you look carefully, he has put a tiny figure of a London Bobby on the bridge to represent himself.
Thankyou very much for reply me,you are really great man.God bless you.
I miss the old buildings in London
Really interesting. Can’t wait to travel!
Great video.
Thanks! Yes, I've heard about the secret lab! I don't think it was open yet so I couldn't go. Sounds interesting.
Although I do not drink beer, here are the surprising health benefits of drinking beer: www.telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness/body/the-surprising-health-benefits-of-drinking-beer/
Jesus used to drink wine. Is that terrible?
Cindy, go home! Go take care of your dolls!

"I can see my house from here!" Obscure movie reference!
It's just something that people say quite often right?
Great work. congrats.
As always, great video.
Did you know that the fire monument was built as a scientific instrument, a zenith telescope. There is a small laboratory underneath and an apparatus that can look up the middle of the stairwell, and the top can be opened up to allow a line of sight to the sky. Each step is accurately set to a specific depth.
I’m not sure what you said about the kings statue on top being the original intent is true as the gold fire statute was designed like that to open up.
Also, a historian has recently published that he has located the location the great fire started, it’s not actually in pudding lane but in Monument Street. His arguments have been verified by some significant others in the history community.
Slight correction there Joolz. William Wallace was no traiter. At no stage was Edward 1st his King.
Currently binge watching these through lockdown3
Joolz never thought about going to London for weekend break all ways though it would be to busy for me but after binge on very good videos a definitely look to book one of your tours 👍🏴
Joolz, it was Penn's son who started the colony in Pennsylvania. I suspect someone else has mentioned this, but there it is. The contemporary of Pepys had a strained relationship with the diarist, and Pepys often railed against Penn in his diary. Interesting reading, although Pepys usually spoke of the naughtier escapades in Spanish or French.
Cheers!
Love the vids, Joolz! Keep em coming! I've been going through all of your videos to catch up. Ta!
I like the comedy parts of your videos ! To be shared on my F/B
That beer looks tasty
It was much needed!
I hope you're taking the piss....
@cindybin2001 sounds like you need a drink
@cindybin2001 Having a drink watching this and think i will have another one in 10 minutes,some people are unreal.
@cindybin2001 Why in hell have you the cheek to go on this great video and preach fire and brimstone,go to bloody Hyde park and get on a soap box and blast away,by the way i am on my 3rd gin and tonic and really enjoying it good evening.
The first Italian English immigrants to America, the Taliaferro's from Venice originally, were members of (and some of them buried in Saint Olaves Church London. There are some other interesting aspects of the church-- it remained standing when everything else around it was bombed. One of the oldest churches in London, and they still have Services, when I visited there was one occurring.
Please please push for a documentary series.
dear jooles,love the history,fascinating, and lov the music,would lovee to be in london instead of toronto,thnks so much, beryl
I'm loving your walks Julian. Do these tours take just a couple of hours or all day? All the best, BC.
Well, when I'm filming they take about 4 hours because we're shooting angles and different takes but if you were just walking it I think 2 hours would be ample. Thanks for watching!
*Hi Joolz Great video!! are these all true facts?? Or you add a bit of humour sometimes? What is your source? ⭐⭐⭐Just in case I need to quote you one day on my videos, if you don't mind.thanks!*
Fine video
The sale of London Bridge turned out good for both Robert McCulloch and London. McCulloch knew he was buying London Bridge and not Tower Bridge. London Bridge helped turn a lake in the middle of the desert into one of Arizona's biggest tourist attractions(besides the Grand Canyon) and tourist resorts. In the US we grow up singing "London Bridge is falling down"
Sold to McCulloch(sp?) who started the city of Lake Havasu Arizona. It is being taken care of, still has bullet holes from the Blitz. Interesting place to visit, once. 🤣
Very interesting thank you
Cheers! And there's only one mistake in here ...to keep you on your toes.
BRILLIANT VIDEO
Thank you Ann!
The last gallery left in London. Hope they take care of it.
You should do the jack ripper tour
I intend to but it'squite a big subject..I want to get it right and there's so much out there about it.
Heh heh, the "Hung Drawn and Quartered" - gotta love the names of some of these pubs. "Let's go get hung, drawn and quartered!" Lol! or so drunk that even if you did, you wouldn't feel it!
Thanks for teaching me to pronounce Southwark correctly after a year of living in London 🤭🤣🤣
Julz...😃 sorry I didn t know for your walks in july 2017. 😑😐😶😏 THATS WHAT I WANT Many regards from Bg Serbia...and allso - I was first discverer of beautiful Sicily and Cefalu...😎
love your videos
but...I would like that IN ALIVE...with you - it s such fun!!! (excelent english language !)😂
Hey! I was in Belgrade a couple of months ago! I won an award at the Silafest Serbian film festival in Veliko Gradiste! Yes, well, next time you are in London let me know!! Hvala!!!
Jools I've always been curious where you get your music from?
Oh, well mostly from buskers I know, but this was my friend Tom Carradine who does a Cockney singalong every week at Mr Foggs Tavern.
After 1066, the British population was largely static and developed the civilization that's spread around the world today. That's Englishness or Britishness.
Great video. I raise a glass to salute you🍺 (non alcoholic of course 😜)
..but of course!
You've better drink non alcoholic beer, otherwise Cindybin2001 will be very angry!
Yes...although, nobody knows whats in the actual glass! It could all be tricks of the trade!
@@sakugava Yup, Carrie Nation is still after all those teetotalers!
You should next time visit my favorite pub in London The Lamb on Lamb Conduit Street Charles Dickens drank and ate there. BIG AL .
Joolz, why dont you do the Tower of London?
I do feature the tower of London briefly in my London Pass video but it can be difficult getting access to big places. They make life hard for film makers. Also I prefer less well known places as there is quite a lot out there about the Tower, but it would be nice I agree
Love your videos sir.......
Great! This is one of my favourite ones actually!
Next time I’m in London I am going to to All Hallows’ Church and check it out see something new every time and walking up the 311 stairs in the Monument tested ones fitness 👍👍👍
Hi Sir,how are you? Excellent video,good clear voice,dashing personality with good smile,God bless you reply me soon please.
Thanks,Munish
Thanks Munish. And what's more is there are even subtitles! I bet not all youtubers can say that about their videos! I'm glad you liked it!
*good video! is the 1831 "the old London bridge" or the previous (medieval?),*
I heard someone called the medieval "the Old London bridge"
There is a coat of arms on the front of the Kings Arms pub next to Guys hospital from the medieval bridge.
what beer should i have when i come any particular or try them all
I guess you should try some ales. We also call it bitter. I dink Doombar but I also like London Pride and there are lots and lots of different ones available in various pubs. You can always ask for a taste before you buy!
Been binge watching all your back episodes and finally! St Magnus church. I visited it in February 2018, I have a nephew named Magnus.
Good
I lived in London for about 3 years and did nothing but trudge to work and back in a haze of exhaustion.
Such a shame to think all this was there to be absorbed if I had a minute.
A treasure lost.
In your ongoing pub crawl it would be really cool if you could get a drink with the Yeoman Warders in their private pub in the Tower. It would be invitation only of course, and they might not fancy having their pub filmed. Just a thought.
Sir i love uk
Take your plates of meat up the apples & pears & 'round the Jack Horner & trot up here! There's nice gaffes & meat chops to eye out! Go & have a cup of char & a piece of your favourite two & eight!! Or a pint of warm suds & a packet of jellies eels! Cor blimey you are never bored in Ol' London Tarn'.
I'm sure hundreds, if not thousands died in The Great Fire. Record keeping was rather disrupted by the fire.
Well this and several other myths and stories that are not true perpetrated in this video though otherwise a great video.
(Like the story of the silly American buying London Bridge thinking it was Tower Bridge!)
Love you
There is an old 80's B horror movie about the London bridge in Arizona ' Terror at London Bridge '
Great video. It's definitely a myth re the supposed confusion as to what bridge the American chap thought he was buying. Good story though.
2:09 ‘son of Bluetooth’. Grandson of Fourgee Wifi?
"Christopher Wren started the fire of London" ~Joolz SCANDALOUS!
crouch end please?
Sorry Jules, the heart of Richard I was embalmed and buried in the cathedral of Notre Dame in Rouen.
Yes indeed! It's a sort of London legend or folklore. Sometimes I'm less than accuarate in my attempt to find romance in English history. I usually stick to the truth but it's also about stories and legends. Hopefully people aren't using my films to write their thesis otherwise I'm in trouble!
My mum used to work at st olaves and I was allowed into the crypt
Oh, how nice!
If the floor in the church is Saxon, and is below street level, where did all the extra stuff come from to raise the street?
Fantastic london.do you cater for large tours 30 in all? If yes would be between 9dec-17dec 2017.
Hi Trevor, I have done a large group of 18...never 30 before! But feel free to contact me on www.joolzguides.com and we can discuss
Hey Trevor.. I reckon I can manage that. Just get in touch and we can figure something out.
awesome -:) XUK
Cheers Diane!
hi folks, Im looking for the information or resources about the warranty period of Tower Bridge (about any defects must be fixed by the builder and replace by the contractor). Please help !
did you check out king William street station the first tube station
Not yet. I guess I should add that to the list!
do you know where it is ?
thanks
Well, I only know it's somewhere underneath the Monument near bank station. I'll have to look into it. My friend Jeff Tech will know. He does loads of films about trains!
yup how about aldwych
Oh, I know about that one. I bet they'd be shitty about filming though
Shouldn't that pub be called the "Hanged" Drawn and Quartered ? Unless the men who were hanged, drawn and quartered were indeed "hung".
Before you were drawn and quartered you were hung up by the neck. You're supposed to be alive when you're drawn. If you were hanged, you'd be dead.
