What would be really neat if there was a visual map with all your video locations on it...hmm I smell a project :) I love distractions from the work I'm supposed to be doing :P
Maybe if you go see my 19th Cousin Prince William & Kate & tell them I use to live in Nashville, im in Lewisburg, Ky now ask if he will come see me again. And please dont video it. Maybe he will give you some money maybe. As for me we are struggling again. Hes my Moms 13th Cousin! Alot closer to my moms mother, my Grandma E. Debbie
I am an art historian and I love when you show old paintings of the streets of London while you present the same view in your videos. Thank you for another wonderful promenade with you in London!
Finally something I know about! I think you may be thinking of potatoes, as tomatoes and potatoes are both in the family Solanaceae, in the genus Solanum, also known as, the nightshade family! Along with angel trumpets, petunias, peppers, tobaccos and eggplants etc. Cabbage (and Brussels sprouts) is a brassica which hold mustads, broccoli, kale and the flower stock. While Rose is of the Rosaceae family including: apples, apricots, raspberries, pears, strawberries, cherries, peaches and almonds!(etc.) Sorry to drop a whale on your bowl of petunias there, Joolz, but i did work in a Seattle nursery for a time out of high school, so I felt I earned just one fascinating flower fact check.
Yes that is a Mulberry tree on the corner. I used to work for someone who ran a business from that garden flat back in the early 90s. We’d always end up traipsing squashed mulberries into the house! It’s lovely to see it again - I used to house sit her flat too so that area was like a second home for a while ❤️
Another fantastic video. Just wanted to mention I love when you put old, 1800’s era photos up as an overlay on today’s streets. Also I never tire of any young Julian pictures!
When father papered the parlour - a true blast from the past I'd completely forgotten about. Thank you Joolz for reintroducing me to such forgotten classics. Such nostalgia is why I love your channel so much. Please never stop, your videos bring so much joy.
My maternal grandparents used to live at 48 Belsize Avenue, letting off the ground and top floors to tenants. Many happy hours in that house, so thanks for this trip down Memory Lane!
The best series on RUclips! These Joolz Guides are pure gold. Fascinating and funny. Thank you Joolz for this top quality entertainment during lockdown. Nothing on TV could beat this for the wit, humour and hilarious sound tracks. I'm learning much more about the big smoke than when I lived there. Please keep making more of these. They're excellent.
Was last in London 2012, just before the Olympics. In the last few weeks, I've become addicted to Geoff Marshall, Londonist - and now Joolz Guides. Damn you, RUclips algorithm...
I live between primrose hill, Camden Town and Belsize Park and I find these videos so fascinating, I’ve never known anything about the history of where I live
The tennis court was called Russell’s when I used to play tennis there back in the 70’s when I went to Haverstock school and the building with the mosaic flooring was a cafe used by taxis and van drivers, really enjoyed this RUclips, thank you!
Top notch old boy. Your passion for history shines through. What makes your guide/short films to London better than most is you know the area really well.....because you actually live there! Keep up the good work old chap. Splendid.
I was champion of our local space invaders table version. It was at a pharmacy or some building in our small town. Nice to know someone still remembers those!
My favourite video of yours I think. Nice mixture of historical facts and insight into your own personal experiences of the area. The music on your videos is also a nice accompaniment to what we are watching but particularly like the song on this one. Great work
We would highly recommend hiring Julian as your personal guide to London. He's just as he appears on his Joolz Guides, very personable and entertaining! Julian, I also wanted to say that I remembered where I heard the tune for the nursery rhyme you were singing, Oranges and Lemons. It's played as the intro to Ivan Meets G.I. Joe by the Clash.
I love your videos Joolz. It saddens me when you show all the places as they once were, as beautiful open countryside and gardens, and then you see what they’re like now, all destroyed and under concrete. How much more of our green and pleasant land is going to be lost?
I’m addicted to this channel. Joolz is so entertaining I’ve stopped talking to my wife as she has nothing of interest to say. Anyway keep up the great work.
Sir I have been watching YOU for the last few days and by the look of it I have more to go!!!! I ENJOY all of YOUR videos GREATLY!!!! Having fun at YOUR account!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!
Spent a good few nights in the roebuck at top end of pond street back in the day, also remember the belsize tavern, my future wife worked around the corner so many a pint in there too,and of course visited the old classic cinema on a few occasions along with what seemed a yearly visit to the royal free for my many broken bones when growing up lol
now this is proper documentation!!! Loved it. What a beautiful area of London... it made me want to jump in a plane and go there. Which I can't. But still. Love it so much it hurts. Geriatric break dance... oh, you tease!
Wait. Your sister was at Live Aid? I'm so jealous!! And very interesting video as always... so many fun details that I would never have learned from other channels or websites. Cheers!
I watch your videos again and again intermittently. Mostly the older ones where the style was consistent and lovely. Thank you for making such amazing videos.
Who is it that religiously gives me a thumbs down on every video? I'm sure it's the same person. I mean, why do they bother watching if they don't like them?
@@watson956 It's so weird though...I mean it must be someone with a personal grudge. It's always a solitary thumbs down with 5 minutes of the upload. Not sure whom I've offended. Maybe a rival umbrella manufacturer!
Your first critic perhaps?! It wasn't me as I enjoy your trolls now and again! Can't you see who hits the dislike button? Oh maybe not. I used to walk about London many years ago and Belsize was one of many locations; used to love the surprise of a blue plack (plaque). Do a bit more of 'Do you know who used to live there?'.
I'm guessing that's an automated dislike, could have been bought by someone with London Walking Tours videos to make sure competing clips don't get too much above his. So don't worry about it, 1 dislike and over 200 likes at under 1500 views shows your videos are greatly appreciated.
I travel from Northern Ireland annually to attend the Royal Free Hospital featured in this video for Amyloidosis as they treat rare diseases and conditions. Thank you for the extra information so I can appreciate a bit more the next time I have to visit. Most interesting. 🤗
Another great video of an area where I lived! (opposite the bomb shelter) Love it! Ah, those wonderful local ads! The best were the ones for restaurants with green meat and blue potatoes!
Cannot believe I have only just discovered you and your brilliant tour videos. They are so full of all my favorite things, trivia and anecdotes both ancient and modern, from the famous to the more obscure, place name origins, superb old architecture, ideas for great places to shop, drink and eat ~ humour and so much that is pure joy to listen to your running commentary . The only thing I find myself wishing for, is that the videos were longer as always loathe so see them end . Better still however would be to be there in person to walk along in almost any of these areas, listening to all your fascinating info and intimate knowledge on so many places and to be able to also ask questions !. Naturally I subscribed immediately to your channel and looking forward to bingeing on all that I have missed !
I wonder if you know, having roots in the area, that at 50 Belsize Lane there used to be a rather wonderful coffee bar and music venue called The Witch's Cauldron. I liked it so much I used to journey there all the way from Walthamstow. I was devastated when I did a nostalgic wander of my own and found it was now a launderette. I used to also sink a pint or three of ale in the Belsize Tavern, and on that same wander saw it had gone up-market and become a gastro-pub. And now it's gone altogether, so serves them right. Just behind the Witch's once lived Twiggy. I know this because I used to work for BT and could find all the ex-directory phone numbers, and there she was. Maybe she still is. Maybe your mum sees her in the launderette.
Certainly nostalgic for me, since Belsize Park was the first place in London that I lived in when I went there as a very young man more years ago than I care to remember. It was the first for so many things for an 18 year old from out in the sticks. Working in a proper job. Living with people who weren't my parents. Getting drunk as a skunk. Finding a serious girlfriend. Wonderful days, wonderful memories!
I also saw Star Wars at the Classic. Lived in Belsize from 1977 to 1985. The best years of my life! So much talent there then, in all sense of the word. I also remember the spider faced man. I worked in the Belsize Tavern for a good while. Were you a customer? My favourite love-hate customers were the double act of Ronald Fraser and James Villiers
Feeling quite nostalgic, having rented rooms in Pond Street, just opposite the Hospital and 30 seconds from the Laundrette... very handy. The rooms had no curtains, and so I learned to ensure I was fully clothed when getting out of bed at around 7am.... lest those riding on the top deck of the bus would get a nasty shock.... Only did that once
Again, you nailed it. Quite some research you've done, very informative. With respect to Chalk Farm, the worn-down name Chalk appeared in ca. 1746 but was used beside Chaldecott which is still on the Ordnance Survey Map of 1822 next to actually two farms, known as the Upper and Lower Chalcot. In 1822, just before a lot of development, they are still surrounded by open land.
Thanks for all the videos. I subscribe and not only appreciate your knowledge of all your subject matters but with a great deal of sense of humor...And to think I live in Washington state. Thanks again.....great info for an advice traveler.....presently in Ao Nang.
Yea! A new Joolz video! Ahh Space Invaders on a table top. I remember those. Thanks for another awesome video. I am travelling to London in March and have been watching so many of your videos and I must say I have learned so much.
Thank you sooooooo much to introduce my city ! In fact, it is an amazing city !!! Thank you for your video ! Soooooo much culture ! I love it ! =) What a beautiful trousers you have by the way ! Where did you buy it ?
I love this.It really feels like rambling around with a friendly and well-informed acquaintance. I remember that Marillon song by the way. Love these videos.
Great video, spent quite a lot of my youth around belsize , my sister lived in Englands lane , above the old tyre shop tyre services, brings back great memories , had a few pints also in later years in the Washington, load of hay , steels , great onsite into the area , nice one joolz 👍
Me too, I watched the new Royal Free Hospital being built when my family lived in Haverstock Hill Road from 1967 (when I was 2) to 1972 - the houses were very run-down and full of immigrant tenants from India etc. such as ourselves.
That was a tremendous vid, Jules. A tour de force of facts combined with family lore. Really impressive stuff. I suspect the only thumbs down came from someone who thought you described Spencer Perceval as, "Prime Minister of England". There must have been a crackle in the audio as I know you'd never make such a gaffe...
This was a very nostalgic video for me as well. At 9:42 when you're "dumping", right opposite from there there is (or was, not sure now) a student's residence and that's where my first home in London was. I would have seen you from my bathroom window and you would have seen me!
Steele did write a bit of poetry, but he is most famous as part of the double act, Addison and Steele who wrote an early humorous periodical called The Spectator. It was a print version of your VLOG. You'll find it a hoot.

I am an art historian and I love when you show old paintings of the streets of London while you present the same view in your videos. Thank you for another wonderful promenade with you in London!
They are a wonderful "photo" of what the place looked like before cameras. It's remarkable how it's all changed.
I'm a piss artist and really enjoy these videos. 😐
The best London videos on the internet.
That's what I think!
@@Joolzguides Great!Your style is a bit out of an ordinary.
Well they are mate, top man!!
Take you mother for a walk and let us also hear about her memories. I think your subscribers will like it. :)
Aj why with the Insults
@@sharonabdi8569 sorry, what insult?
Finally something I know about! I think you may be thinking of potatoes, as tomatoes and potatoes are both in the family Solanaceae, in the genus Solanum, also known as, the nightshade family! Along with angel trumpets, petunias, peppers, tobaccos and eggplants etc. Cabbage (and Brussels sprouts) is a brassica which hold mustads, broccoli, kale and the flower stock.

"You have a nose that doesn't sit well on a young girls face" lol makes me chuckle such innocent honesty
too harsh. nobody can choose😊 their facial features
My maternal grandparents used to live at 48 Belsize Avenue, letting off the ground and top floors to tenants. Many happy hours in that house, so thanks for this trip down Memory Lane!

Some mothers do 'have 'em. Another great video. Why you're not a star on BBC is beyond me.
Was last in London 2012, just before the Olympics. In the last few weeks, I've become addicted to Geoff Marshall, Londonist - and now Joolz Guides. Damn you, RUclips algorithm...
How lovely to get a moment with your Mum!
I live between primrose hill, Camden Town and Belsize Park and I find these videos so fascinating, I’ve never known anything about the history of where I live
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! THEY ARE KEEPING ME JOLLY AND SANE IN THIS MAD AND DARK WORLD WE LIVE IN AT THIS MOMENT ❤️
Love this video! Love all of them so far to be honest. So wonderful to see your Mum pop in for a pint! Lovely!
Bless your mom !
I love these, I find them very soothing in these odd times, speaking from solitary confinement.
I went to the Rosary School in Belsize Park in the late 1950s. I rode the Tube alone, at the age of 6, from Camden Town -- a different time.
Ah... finally... a new video. I'll have you know I recommend your channel to my friends who are planning to visit London. Cheers!
I try to do them every 2 weeks but they really do take a long time to make
I stayed in Belsize Park in 2017 for 5 days and loved it!! Of course, The George was my favorite place to hang out and eat!
The tennis court was called Russell’s when I used to play tennis there back in the 70’s when I went to Haverstock school and the building with the mosaic flooring was a cafe used by taxis and van drivers, really enjoyed this RUclips, thank you!
At 02:11 'mums' you gotta love 'em 😂🤣
She still does that actually!
Two of my favourite youtubers
The addition of old pictures comparing with current is a tasteful style. Love his all videos. Very thankful.
It was a treat to see the Great Lady, I have heard so many wonderful things, your mum.
It is amazing way to spend a spare time in the lockdown! Thank you!
Nice to meet you, Mum!!! Happy holidays!
I saw Marillion when they opened for Rush, in April 1986, at the Nassau Coliseum, on Long Island, New York.
Lived in belsize park 2005 to 2010, now Switzerland but I miss it so much that almost crying to see the view... Beautiful beautiful area.
Awww, give my love to your Mum x
Top notch old boy. Your passion for history shines through. What makes your guide/short films to London better than most is you know the area really well.....because you actually live there! Keep up the good work old chap. Splendid.
Love the personal feeling of this video. Love the historical tidbits too.
I was champion of our local space invaders table version. It was at a pharmacy or some building in our small town. Nice to know someone still remembers those!
Yay! you're back! Thank you for uploading Joolz, always love your videos.
My favourite video of yours I think. Nice mixture of historical facts and insight into your own personal experiences of the area. The music on your videos is also a nice accompaniment to what we are watching but particularly like the song on this one. Great work

One of the funniest tours to date! Cheers Joolzie!
Great as usual Julian! Fully relate(way into bmx back then also) to the rad pic of your brother doing a one-footed table top on his bmx bike!
Its late June 2021 lol. I’m always so sad when a Joolz video comes to an end. I miss my homeland very much. I can’t even visit because of covid.
Loved the cameo by your mom, cheers to another great video!
Thanks Emily. How's the new job been going?
Your brain must hold so much information. So impressed

Most amusing and informative. I lived in Belsize Park Gardens in the 70's, school at Hampstead Parochial. Love Bel & Ham
now this is proper documentation!!! Loved it. What a beautiful area of London... it made me want to jump in a plane and go there. Which I can't. But still. Love it so much it hurts. Geriatric break dance... oh, you tease!
Used to live on Belsize Park Gardens for a couple of years. One of the most amazing neighbourhoods in London. Video doesn't do it justice!
Another lovely trip around London Joolz, your mother looks an eccentric character, fantastic .
Wait. Your sister was at Live Aid? I'm so jealous!! And very interesting video as always... so many fun details that I would never have learned from other channels or websites. Cheers!

Nice to see back like tours of London very interesting enjoy any parts London thack you
Thanks
Always love all the content of this channel. Keep it up!
1:35 Hello! Haha I love when people stare at your camera!

Would subscribe twice if allowed, your mum is priceless. Belsize is definitely a place I need to visit next time in London.
I lived in a rented room in Belize Gardens for a year in 1998. Was only £200 a month, now would be about £2000 I guess.
Beautiful area round there.

What a beautiful trousers you have by the way ! Where did you buy it ?
Ha ha...They were tailor made but they still don't fit! A bloke in Kentish Town.
Just amazing love watching your videos
Finally we know now how Joolz mum looks like after hearing all this funny things she said and did :) soooo cuuuttteee
I love this.It really feels like rambling around with a friendly and well-informed acquaintance. I remember that Marillon song by the way. Love these videos.
Oh great! That is the intention.
It really was a nostalgic walk. And your Mum at the end. I had tears in my eyes. Sorry, I had to share it with you. 💔
absolutely delightful
Splendid video. Thank you so much!
Great video, spent quite a lot of my youth around belsize , my sister lived in Englands lane , above the old tyre shop tyre services, brings back great memories , had a few pints also in later years in the Washington, load of hay , steels , great onsite into the area , nice one joolz 👍
another great video Joolz, its been awhile. i look forward to the next one, would love to see more grizzly tales of the darker history of London :)
Hello, Joolz! Here's looking forward to more videos from you. Cheers!
Thanks Bernadette. Yes...coming right up!
Amazing, I love your videos, so interesting!
Lived in Belsize Avenue from 1985 -98. Happy days! I couldn't possibly afford to live there now...
Royal free hospital I was a junior Dr there so many years ago I feel so old now
Me too, I watched the new Royal Free Hospital being built when my family lived in Haverstock Hill Road from 1967 (when I was 2) to 1972 - the houses were very run-down and full of immigrant tenants from India etc. such as ourselves.
thank you!! what a great video! your mom is too cute.
You speak so much about your Mum I was wondering when we see her pop up
And Lo! There she is
I love this channel mate.

That was a tremendous vid, Jules. A tour de force of facts combined with family lore. Really impressive stuff. I suspect the only thumbs down came from someone who thought you described Spencer Perceval as, "Prime Minister of England". There must have been a crackle in the audio as I know you'd never make such a gaffe...
Just testing! Indeed...he was "also" PM of England...a well as the rest of the UK! It would be hard to dislike the whole video for it though!
This was a very nostalgic video for me as well. At 9:42 when you're "dumping", right opposite from there there is (or was, not sure now) a student's residence and that's where my first home in London was. I would have seen you from my bathroom window and you would have seen me!
Happy 2019 Joolzie! Another excellent video. Informative and fun. The family says hello.
Hi folks!
The Isokon flats......eyesore??? WHAT? I feel I ought to take you on a London modernist architecture appreciation walk.
Great video, especially as I live locally, I remember going to the cinema at the bottom of Pond Street in the 1970s.
I probably saw you there....if i wasn't asleep
Thank you for asking, it’s going well, started saving for my next trip to London! Long way away but every $ counts😎
Welcome back!🍿🎸
I'm still here.... back soon!
