Thanks everyone....one of these days I'll be a star!!!!!!!
Joolzy... Thank you for showing us Jimmy Page's (used to be Alistair Crowley's) place!
You're on my bucket list to do this tour!
Thanks Kelly. Yes, do visit!
As Samuel Johnson said " ... when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford." Well, you haven't experienced London until you secure the expert guiding and entertaining skills of the tall man in the bowler hat. No trip to London can be complete without spending time with Joolz!
...vary...good...now....holand...park...gadean....uk
sockington1 a girl peacock you know the birds with all the pretty feathers as seen in this video lol
I can bet that your mum has loads of tales and stories about London, You should do a interview with your mum. Keep up the good videos and good work!!!
To be fair, Page’s house really is something of an artwork inside and could do with preserving. He has described himself as feeling like a caretaker of it and is right to be concerned about the effects that local building works may have on it... in my opinion. Anyway, lovely trip with you, Jules. Liked the part of how your mum met your dad too.
Thanks. I was worried that I go off on tangents and make mistakes sometimes.
I love your London walks .. I lived in this area, W11, for a long time and know all routes very well. 10 mins Ladbroke Grove, 10 mins from Grenfell. I'm into seeing all areas wherever I'm living in London. I love Holland Park, have spent many happy hours walking all round in there, the Kyoto Garden, the wooded area, wildlife garden, the Orangery, the Peacocks - beautiful park .... I have been lucky in knowing many areas of London, was a agency care worker for an agency in Victoria and covered a lot of areas in SW and South London, then an agency in Lisson Green which covered large areas of N London. Then I became an Animal Aunt and stayed at people's beautiful uber expensive homes looking after pets in all the rich areas of London, always investigated all areas I worked in or resided in .... I know a lot of the places you cover, brings back many memories .... I love London, was born in Paddington many many years ago and have seen London change sooooo much ......... Thanks Joolz for bringing us all these walks and info 👍🏻😄👍🏻😄👍🏻😄👍🏻😄
In addition to Jimmy Page and Robbie Williams, just around the corner there is also Gary Barlow of Take that, Brian May guitarist from Queen, and music mogul Simon Cowell living within a stones throw from one another.
I loved the story of how your mom met your dad! Keep them coming!
Strongly recommend a walk in this park if you need a greenery break. Its lovely.
Excellent video .................Why aren't you doing this on the BBC ?
Very good question. I'd love to know what you have to do to get on there. This all started out as a showreel to send to them!
@@Joolzguides Great that you are independent and do everything the way you choose. You go and grow your own way and that's amazing.
Just a suggestion
Try RDF Television, The Gloucester Building,
Kensington Village,
Avonmore Road,
London, W14 8RF
Maybe it’s time to approach Netflix or amazon or Hulu or Britbox or any of the streaming services. As long as you have all your ducks in a row so they don’t just steal your ideas.
I could see you doing a half hour show for one of them. They have tonnes of shows that people watch of a similar vein.
Doesn't everyone hate The BBC or is it just me?
I stayed at that hostel in 2017 and l really loved it, the park was so beautiful and quiet place!!!!
Once again I thank you Julian . So much to see and do but so little time!
You certainly need a couple of weeks...even more!
It was boleskine manor in Scotland that Crowley lived in and was also later owned by Jimmy Page
I filmed inside Robbie Williams' mansion many years ago when it was owned by Michael Winner the film director. It was rather pleasantly sumptuous inside and included a cinema in the basement. We were there for a good few hours to interview him about his art collection and as I recall he didnt even offer us a cup of tea. I'd love to see inside Jimmy Page's gaff next door.
I loved your Mom’s romance story.
Jimmy Page also purchased a Alister Crowley house in Inverness called Boleskine House. Jimmy can be seen sitting in its garden during his own segment in the Led Zeppelin movie The Song Remains The Same. He only lived there a few weeks but owned the property for nearly 20 years I believe. It was destroyed by fire years ago but has recently come on the market again !!
LUXURY FLATS!!!!! Yes! Just what London needs. 😂🙀🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Brilliant work, as usual. Always stoked when I get these notifications every Sunday. Keep it up.
Indeed.... it's never affordable flats...but even affordable is pretty expensive!
Love your London tours!
Thank you
I absolutely adore these guides. I am heading to London for a few days in 2 weeks and I will make sure to visit some of your video hot spots, I'm gonna vlog it too will be fun. Great fun to watch as always :)
Thanks. Glad you like them. They take a long time to make although it might not look it!
Jolly good))
Time to hire Joolz for the day or two you are there lol
Everytime you think, you know London quiet well, there is another eye opener. Thank you for the brilliant insights. Especially the hilarious family story. 😂
Pity my shot of the house didn't come out!
Oh, and I thought you wanted to keep your tough mom's privacy. ;)
Hi Joolz, Thanks for the great videos. I’ve just discovered your channel so I’ve been binge watching them for a few days. There is a bit of info about the song “Golden Brown” I believe it was The Stranglers and not Spandeau ballet
I’m addicted to your videos!
Next time I come back to London the highlight of my trip will be one of your tours!
Thanks Adam.
Love LONDON by Joolz Guides & THANKS
Love how Joolz ends his walks in a lovely London pub.
I've just started watching your videos. This makes the fifth in a day or so. I am pleasantly surprised. They are becoming quite addictive! Keep up the good work. Thank you.
I'm going to London for the first time on Monday, came across your videos while I was doing some research, only staying for two full days, and the more i discover the less time I feel like having, anyways, I love your videos, your humorous take on history and all the strange stories makes it real easy to keep focus through the whole clip, will definitely keep watching when i get back home.
thanks! That's good to hear.
Am a huge Williams fan but have never seen his London house, its MUCH better than I imagined, wow!
When i need a happy distraction, i watch one of your episodes. Great during this time in the USA. I like your happy voice, the happy show.
I love the music you use Jools
Love hearing about your past as much as the other stories you tell!
Thanks. Annoyingly my shot of the actual house didn't come out!!
Love it!
Joolzy's vids are 💯!!
Cheers
Thanks again for a great view of London!
glad you liked it. Shame the sky was so white!
Thank you Joolz. I've been enjoying your London Walks, as a subscriber of course. But this one really caught my eye as, in the late 70s, I used to live at 64A Princedale Road from where I had a bird's eye view of the Duke of Zetland pub. Friends lived in Pottery lane, and we use to drink at the Princedale Arms, a pub where, it was rumoured, Jimi Hendrix downed a drink or two. My favourite summer Sunday morning activity was strolling over to Holland Park clutching a copy of the Times, which I would ostentatiously read over a cappuccino from the splendid Italian run café in the centre of the park. Pip pip, jolly good show.
I enjoyed that very much. Thanks Joolz
Thank you again Diane!
Fantastic as usual Joolz....great job 👍👊👊👊
Hey Jonathan.thanks again!
Joolz, another great video, I always learn something new from you, fabulous songs too. You make me want to go back to London.
you will be welcome and it will be lovely to see you again!
I stayed at Holland House on a school trip in 1964, when I was about 11. I don’t remember much about the building, only that we were accommodated in a large, long room like a hospital ward with bunk beds. I remember the peacocks because they fascinated me.
Love the reference to 'Uncle Monty' 😀 And the guide too
I am have binge watch over the last few days. My wife and I live in, Banbury and want to The Shard a few weeks ago. What a view.
💚 Never Forget 💚
I always enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
Thanks..I'll try!
Cool - my son and I visited Holland Park and spent some time in the Kyoto Garden earlier this year.
It's beautiful in the summer
Another excellent video... very good work, AGAIN...
it's a lot of work but rewarding when I get kind comments like yours
Great video as usual 😁
Great stuff, as expected.
Pottery Lane, one of the main locations of Antonioni's Blow-Up. The Earl of Zetland building is still standing. Congratulations, your channel is fantastic. Warm regards from Santiago de Chile ( London is my favorite city).
My childhood park , thank you 😊
Julian. Another brilliant guide complete with new hat. Great.
I shall show the place I bought it soon
Scarsdale Tavern is also featured several times in the Professionals!
A lister Crowley never owned Jimmy pages house in Holland Park.
Alister crowleys house that jimmy owned resides in Scotland.
Nigel winner previously lived in Robbie Williams house.

London seems like such a cozy place to live.
Lived on the Pembroke Rd (nearby) as a kid in mid ‘50’s so this was of particular interest. Holland Park still showed evidence of being heavily hit in WWII in those days. The Odeon Cinema was in its heyday however - a beautiful building!
Stayed in that hostel about a month ago (would recommend ;) ). Shame I didn't really have time to check out the park
Oh, pity. The park is lovely in the summer.
Katarzyna Wojowska I’m interested in hearing about The hostel, is it mostly for really young people, “youth hostel” sounds that way
When I was there I saw mostly young people but it's pretty quiet and would definitely recommend. The staff is great also and really helpful ;) Definitely worth considering because the price, location and standard is nice
Katarzyna Wojowska thank you. I want to travel back to London, interested in economical accommodations but I’m not in my 20’s any longer.
I'm closer to 30 than 20 but it wasn't a problem ;) When I stayed in a youth hostel in Oxford there was even one woman in her 50s I believe ;)
thank you! fantastic content!
Wonderful thank you very much
Joolz.. just spent my first day in London....exquisite! My first time traveling outside the U.S.A. Thank you for all your information. So much seemed somewhat familiar because of your information extremely helpful to help me maneuver and feel comfortable. I am traveling with fantastic family members.. so my agenda is not my own.. so will have to do it again sometime. Good now I am going to enjoy the next few days.. going to bed.. feeling happily a bit numb from some cider enjoyed I a pub with good company. Pip pip
Thanks. That's wonderful to hear!
i always enjoy your films!! its London the place where i only dream about going since i was 14, i dont remember life before 14 but London was and still is my jam!! i live and breathe London, i bought key chains from there through a web site in a shop called "Fancy that of London", i feel like royalty carting them around!! everyone asks if i been there and sometimes i say yes but then i say i wish!! but i adore you Joolz!!!
that rings a bell. Fancy That.. I think it's a big sovenire store. I forget where it is.
Fun London Guides - Julian McDonnell Films haymarket
Delicious delightful funny video again! I was thinking of art and architecture nuggets and here they come - you read my mind ☺! Lovely!
Thanks. I guess it just depends what's around.
You can see how Pottery Lane was in the sixties in the movie "Blow up" by Michelangelo Antonioni. It's where the main character lives and has his studio. The movie features Jimmy Page playing with the Yardbirds!
I hope to see you when I get back to London 👍
that would be nice
stone tablet at entrance to kyoto garden says "kyoto summer"
It actually says 京都庭園, or Kyoto Teien. Which means Kyoto Garden.
Nice presentation of area , the park is amazing , I feel like home
It's lovely there. I should go there more often
So good these you deserve a tv show
Great fun and so informative. Thanks. Have you done a walk round Seven Dials?
Now Hillaire Belloc is normally considered an English writer. He was born in France but educated in Edgbaston -- must have learned his cricket there-- and Balliol College, Oxford. He was a wonderful wit. You would love him.
Sounds like you should be doing these videos!! I do certainly make the odd mistake... Just to keep you on your toes!
Big fan of your videos, I wish you could go on and talk about history of Camden Hill, Phillmore street and Duchess of Bedsford walk.
Hi Joolz!
Another great video!
I was thinking of sending a request for you to do Holland Park, what a coincidence.
I have been wondering where your parents met so now I know.
I like the part about Jimmy Page`s house, but I dont think it was owned by Crowley before him.
the house in Scotland was the one Page owned and Crowley before him.
unless of course Page bought 2 houses previously owned by Crowley.
really an excellent video and I thoroughly enjoyed it
thank you for posting
Thanks Wayne. Yes, others have mentioned that. Probably right since it wasn't me that had it in my notes, it was my friend who said it at the last minute. Useless bugger that he is.
Nice “Withnail & I” quote.
Monty you terrible ****!
Fun London Guides - Julian McDonnell Films I’m presuming you’ll do Camberwell soon - in search of the infamous ‘carrot’?
I remember visiting Lord Leightons house it is fabulously interesting
Leighton House is a very interesting place! 📚🏠
Yes, incerdible interior
Carissimo Juliano, Il mio cuore e leggero e aliforme alla vista del mio amato Holland Park, (my heart is light and aliferous at the sight of my beloved Holland Park) Thank you for the tour and I also loved the romance of your parents meeting...:) Some folk leave their hearts in San Francisco, I thought leaving my initials carved on the Golden Gate Bridge a better idea and so left my heart in Holland Park instead, somewhere between Ladbroke Road and The Ladbroke Arms..... sigh...I miss it so.....
Oh! it is still there waiting for you to return!
Fantastic video
Bravo
Oh thanks!
I like your bowler hats.
me too! It doesn't look so big on camera but it seemed massive
God! I’d forgotten about those drinking fountains. Yes, we had those in the playground at Primary School in the 1960s.
Cheers from California !
Hi Joolz, another great video! Off topic, would love to see a London Christmas Market video this year if you get the chance and feel so inclined, when tis the season, of course! :)
I guess I can try although I'm not all that keen on the Chistmas markets in London. The Germans do them so much better.
Hi Julian We will be in London in August 2019 for 3or4 days. Look forward to do a tour with you.
Andrew from Townsville, Australia 🤔
That's some early planning! It will be good to see you.
Another fantastic video. Why would anyone give it thumbs down?
Maybe it was Robbie Williams.
Terry McCann's house location varied from series to series but principally was in Glazbury Road. Penzance Place was the Crown bar
I can remember the days when I was the 4th viewer. You're doing well.
You've been here from the start and are appreciated!!
You are loved.
“As if u care” 👍👍👍🤠🤠🤠 best !
Have you done ones about the Elephant and Castle, Tooting and Battersea. My family come from there.
Two dislikes ! A Mr Page & Mr Williams I shouldnt wonder
😂 Maybe Mr Williams should move to keep himself busy.
I think his wife glared at me through the window as I was filming so I ran away!
Good man 👍👍
I don't know much about the history surrounding Holland House or it's owners, but the seated man depicted in the statue said to be of Lord Holland could not have had his head chopped of by Oliver Cromwell. The statue was of a Victorian gentleman of the19th century and not of a 17th century man.
quite right! He was a different Lord Holland. Sometimes I need a nice shot to cover a messy edit. Did I say that he was actually the one? My mistake. I'm not a historian but very well spotted by the way. I didn't notice the clothes.
Given the horrible destruction of much of Syria, its wonderful to know the Leighton House Museum has preserved such gorgeous Damascene tiles.
Many memories of 1987 when i stayed at Holland House Youth Hostel
我看到京都庭园我是第一次见，在英国应该很少有中文的，今天长见识，喜欢你的频道
I don't think Crowley lived in that house. He lived in Boleskine House on Loch Ness which Paige bought.
You briefly showed The Earl of Zetland there, which used to be my local pub when I worked in Holland Park but it looks like it is closed now, is it? And I had one of my product designs exhibited there in the Design Museum.
Just a suggestion
Try :
RDF Television, The Gloucester Building,
Kensington Village,
Avonmore Road,
London, W14 8RF
Thanks. I'm awful at selling myself and usually get ignored but Ill give it a try! Cheers!
107 people forgot to press the like button. These videos are brilliant.
A couple inadvertently hit dislike....maybe it was Robbie Williams.
Charles Dickens Museum would be a good vid I want to go there
I watched this video while in this (4:10) hammock. I am not kidding
Poet John Betjeman and actor Richard Harris have both lived in Jimmy Page’s Holland Park home, previous to him. And yes, Boleskin House was the Loch Ness House Page owned that Crowley lived in.
Ah, see...I posted this info before realizing that you mentioned these gentleman later in the video. Oops.
Hello Joolz what is the name of the song in this video please it's lovely......Happy new year to you and little lost lou xx
Good video
Staying at Safestay, the Holland Park hostel, in a few weeks. Will definitely check out Leighton House, love Islamic/middle eastern art and The Stranglers so what's not to like? Also might invite Jimmy and Robbie round for a picnic in the garden and try and broker a peace deal between them. Think the Minder location was a pub in an episode where Arthur Daley was ripped off over a van load of VCR's. Will also get a selfie outside 29 Princedale Rd. What track was playing in the background btw?
I enjoy you sharing tid bits of your Life. Makes things more friendly...not so ...hi tech...or robotic.
Great video as always Jools. On the TV subject why not try UKTV and their Yesterday channel? Brown Bob produce shows for them. On the BBC front You’d fit in well on BBC 4
Whatever happened to the Commonwealth Institute, is the building still there? I remember going in there as a child, and being very bored by the exhibits, except for a stuffed lion that was hidden around a corner. And, play over in my mind, "Is this the stuffed lion, or a live one staying still?"
Crowley and Tower House ? are you sure you are not thinking about Boleskine House ?)
Yes, I think it's an error made by my friend!!! I blame him! He lived in a different one of Crowley's houses!
