- What to do in London on Thursday nights
My favourite way to spend Thursday night in london is first to enjoy a couple of pints at Bar Polski in Holborn. The Polish Bar in an alleyway behind Holborn Tube Station serves a huge selection of Polish Vodka and has good value, filling Polish food like Bigos and Pierogi. It’s perfect for lining the stomach before a heavy night of drinking.
I then like to walk down to Covent Garden for Carradine’s Cokney Sing Along at Mr Foggs Tavern on St Martin’s Lane. Every Thursday Tom Carradine plays the piano whilst everybody in the bar can sing along to old music hall classics. All ages are welcome and it’s a guaranteed night of fun and entertainment. A lot of the songs are cockney classics like My Old Man Said Follow The Van but there are also medleys from musicals like Oliver and My Fair Lady. If you are not English you will probably recognise some of the other medleys like Abba or The Beatles.
Tom Carradine has a CD available on his website where you can also find out about other gigs and performances.
So, every Thursday night from 8.30 to 10.30 in London’s St Martins Lane, come and enjoy a gin or two and a nostalgic journey through Wartime classics!

As soon as I decide when I will be visiting London, I will schedule a tour with you. But, we will have to visit some pubs. Hope you won't mind that!
I found myself smiling throughout. 😊 ❤
I love this guy! He's the perfect personality to host such a show, I wish you success Joolz.
2 things to say: (1) eighteen months on it looks like you've now got to 108,000 subscribers so well done Joolz. and (2) respect to the camera man at 3:15
I stumbled on Joolz quite by chance a few weeks ago ...I was born in Vauxhall in 1950 ...and I am amazed at what I have learned about my city since watching these videos...Keep it up Joolz....Jolly good stuff...
Thanks Jackie. Did you watch the one about Vauxhall?
I was conceived in a Vauxhall apparently.
In primary school, in Australia, we used to sing "Let's Go Fly a Kite" during our music lessons.
108k now matey. well done and well earned!! been thoroughly enjoying your videos. born and lived in sauf london. live in usa now. home often :) always enjoy your reminding me of all the little things of my younger years (born '64) as well as all the other wonderful curiosities of good old london town from over the decades and centuries and always delivered in your delightful and honest ways. and lil lou lou is a wonderful talent too. runs in the family. thank you so much jools. you make home feel a little closer
its a nice channel. the kid sister is adorable
Love Your Bowler Hat
I love the music in your videos. Now I know where it comes from!
This too can be yours to own!
I Loved this light-hearted romp! This is one of my favorite vids of your Joolzie, just a Blast! I now know the place I am going to be the very first Thursday I am in London later this year, what fun! Everybody smiling, laughing, and drinking...what a more enjoyable time one can have, I don't know...Thanks, so much for this wonderful little piece! Superb..
Great! Remember to check his site to make sure he's playing!
Great fun!
That place looks like a blast.
It's good fun. Definitely better than standing in a noisy overpriced club!
How absolutely wonderful, cant think of anything better than a plate full of pierogi and barszcz followed by a proper old fashioned sing-along and real ales, I am envious of your Thursday nights.
The great thing is one doesn't need to go with anybody. You can easily enjoy it alone too!
Thank you for such a wonderful recommendation! It was a great place to meet up with local friends who didn't know about this gem and even more fun for my first trip to London.😁👍
2 : 33 Hello dear Tom.Nice to meet you!🇬🇧🇷🇺
Watching in Dec 2020! lol
Merry Christmas to all!
Lovely Polish Food! 🍜
You can't beat Pierogi! 😋
Congratulations on hitting 11,000 subscribers! 👏
Your channel always me smile! 😁
It's very nice food there. Good value too!
And now he’s at 175,000 subscribers! WOOHOO!!!
212.000 now 🎉🍾
11,000 subscribers!! Well, I am happy to be one of them!!🙋♀️🇨🇦
That's what I call a fun pub. I have been watching your videos for a while and a realised the connection early on with the music on your track to the pub :)
This music suits your videos SO well !
My late wife and I used to work as a duo round all the London pubs, back in the 80s and 90s, she on sax, me on keyboards, doing all this stuff. I can singalong to all of those songs!
That sounds fabulous!
@@Joolzguides We had some really good times - particularly in the back street pubs - off the beaten track. I also played piano a few times in that wonderful old London institution of blessed memory - Tiddy Dols.
I keep impressing my friends with all your facts when out in town.
Congrats on the 11k
IAIN COLLINGWOOD I do that to haha
Oh goodness..the pressure! Sometimes I make mistakes!
Hey joolz,I’m watching again and your at 125k,Chris
Fun stuff
Another belter of a video, Joolz. Although I often head to various little pockets of London during the day on days off (I'm just outside Uxbridge so it's a fairly easy train ride), one of aims for this year is to experience and capture more of the London nightlife, and this has certainly given me food for thought... or is that, drink for thought?
Ordinarily I loathe singing (even though I love the acting), but the idea of a cockney singalong is really appealing. I'd try and drag a few of my mates along for one... will probably end up on my own in the corner, but oh well, it's still on the to-do list regardless!! :)
Wish I could get there 🍺
Hey joolz love Ur videos I have even got my family loving Ur videos aswell being a cockney myself I love the music ,thank you for Ur videos I can't wait to see more xx
England has the best hats.
'Great video. Thanks to Tom, Mr Fogg's Tavern seems to have fun by the bucket load. I wonder if he related to John and David or is that just a coincidence?
If I ever get back over the pond I shall visit the pub for a few pints and a jolly old singalong LOL. Looks like a fun time for a night out. Finally also a face to the singing voice we hear on your videos.
Yip...It's often him singing...but sometimes I use other friends too!
Now that is a great Thursday!!
Mr. Carradine lives in my home town, sometimes plays on our green. Lovely bloke!
he is indeed
Incredibly charming video. Makes me realise that I should get up to London more often.
Not all of London is like this but it's one of the better spots for sure!
I never could get the hang of Thursdays.
Very niceee
That was fun Joolz , makes me a bit homesick for dear old blighty 😁
11,000!!! Well deserved! Another excellent video from the main man!!
Thanks!
This is a favorite! Please visit again on thursday night and bring use with you!
Wow seems like such along time ago and so much fun!
Very entertaining, keep up the good work.
Thanks you
Gratulation on reaching 11.000 followers. You definitely deserve it!
That's very kind. I'm so greedy. I always want more!
34k now!
Wow ... loved it
You’ll make it to 20,000 subs in no time! Congrats Joolz!❤️
Thanks Emily. Pity you couldn't come to this event when you were here. How's the new job going?
Fun London Guides - Julian McDonnell Films Too bad I got back from Paris so late on Thursday, I would have enjoyed this sing along! The new job was awful so I got a better one which will hopefully get me back to London for another holiday sooner!
now 69000
Damn, I will be there nest week! this looks like a blast! I think this places are where im supposed to have fun!
i will have to come down one thursday night
Fabulous fun.
Beautiful thumbnail.
Congrats for reaching 11k subscribers!
Wow. Definitely go to the Tom Carradine’s Cockney sing-a-long in my next London visit! I am sure i will go bananas! :D Btw, much doings in London in January?
I must say if I had the choice I wouldn't visit London in January. It's pretty bleak. I'd go to Sydney! But the sing along certainly warms you up!
I spent a month in London in 1973, and loved every minute of it. It drizzled many days, but I expected that. It was a good reason to visit pubs, museums, and plays. I especially loved the second floor of the Chelsea Drugstore (sadly, no longer extant). An amazing city. We had a room in Hammersmith.
34 thousand subscribers now!
This video made me smile, thank you. I'll be in London next month and now know where i'll be heading on the Thursday night.
Thanks emma. Could you do me a favour and email the pub telling them that! I bring all these places so much custom and they just don't seem to care. Hopefully I'll see you there!
Sorry for late reply. Yes, of course I will. Flying into London Monday, looking forward to it. I've watched many of your videos since this one. Great job, good fun & learning lots about areas of London I've often wandered around over the years, but never knew the history. So thanks!
What a wonderful video. I was in London the last October and visited all these places. I hope I will revisit London this summer. Keep on the good work. I wish you 100.000 subscribers soon.
Thanks...I fear that could be a way off but you never know!
I really enjoyed watching this Joolz! The sing-a-long is defiantly on my list now when I visit.
Great to hear. See you there!
Looks like a cracking fun place
I didnt know such bar existed, have to visit! Congrats on the 110k subscribers.
I only started watching you’re videos a few days ago but I love them there making me miss London tho need to come back down this year
There are quite a lot of them to work your way through! Thanks! Do tell your friends and I'll see you in London!
Looking forward to checking out the sing-a-long in May, Julian. Hope to see you there!
I'm sure you will, Betsy!
my new favorite episode
The pianist looks like Hercule Poirot
Congratulations on reaching 11k. Well deserved Joolz
Cheers. I'm getting there slowly.
Fantastic work again.
Just a quickie this one. Maybe I don't need Simon after all!
brilliant stuff.
Great videos, bin the music though, I've has better headaches.
Being a 'nan kid' I knew all these songs at primary school. I was the only 10 year old who'd heard of Marie Lloyd and Sandy Powell.
Netflix should pick up Joolzy!!! 🇬🇧💯🇬🇧
That was fun.
The best video so far
Well done Joolz on your 11, 000 subscribers . ....your getting more famous by the day 😅....Mr Foggs Tavern looks a definate for a great night out..I'll put it on my list for my next visit..keep up the great work 👏👏👍
I'm actually getting recognised in the street sometimes too!
Fun London Guides - Julian McDonnell Films 6 ft 6 and wearing a bowler hat....I'm not really surprised 😅😅
Thumbs up for pierogi! :D
Yes, they do very good ones! That's a good idea.. I haven't been in a while!
Are you as wonderful in person as you are in these videos?? I'd love to know you. You seem like this great guy. Please keep them coming, I just discovered you and became a subscriber. Thank you so much.
Ha ha...well, the BBC and PR and marketing managers don't think so. They prefer instagrammers! But I try my best to be!
Lovely! It's a pity I no longer imbibe! (not really) Gave it up 30 years ago.
Tom Carradine reminds me of Micheal Palin
This is awesome
I used to Covent seldomly I was actually more in the east end although I was based in West hamptead but I have to say Camden at night kind of sucks.. especially if you compare it to the busy Ness during the day . Having said that , the corporate way of life , so to speak , have made many music pubs close just because it was breaching the peace of these new wealthy neighborhood .
😁👍👏👏👏
Dang! We should have joined you on Thanksgiving when you invited us. I’ll be better prepared next trip, because I’d only had know the Mary Poppins tunes. Another fun film.
I think you'd know "She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes" and also the Beatles ones! But I'm sure you had a good time anyway!
Thank you very much for an amazing videos. I wish you all the best. BTW I'll be in london in my birthday day 6th of March I'll be there till 9th
Would be great to meet you there if you have time ! Greetings from Arctic circle. Rovaniemi. Finland. Ali
Ohh hi! Well drop me a line on my website when you're coming.... but in the meantime, say hello to Santa Claus if you live nearby!!
Love your videos!
Thanks Sean. This was a quick one but people still seem to like it!
Amei seu canal.❤
Thanks Julian! I always enjoy the cockney sing-alongs! This was in Covent Garden?
Yes....St Martins Lane...towards Leicester Square
Congratulations!
Love, love, love your channel!! Any chance you could show us the best places to get some lunch in London? We love visiting but it's always so hard to find something not ridiculously expensive or fast food...many thanks :)
Oh..there is one place i keep meaning to go but they're so busy I might get in their way. I'll try!
I don't know if anyone has commented on this, but interjecting "Have a banana" into a song predates Mr. Carradine. The Freddy Martin record of "I've Got A Lovely Bunch Of Coconuts" includes it in one chorus, and 1950 is the date of this top-ten (U.S.) hit. A young Merv Griffin was the band's sing. There is a wonderful 'soundie' of the song on RUclips.
I didn't know where it first came from but it's a popular cockney interjection.
last year i was in London and Covent Garden, how the f... did i miss this pub but next time I will not make the same mistake.
big regards from Bosnia and Hercegovina, hope to see you there next time, first pint is on me :)
Thanks Mario. I won a award at the Johorina film festival in Bosnia last year!
Love how in this video you say you have 10k subscribers and now look at you
My favourite night out in London. And I'm so sad I have to be over in Bristol on Thursday when I'm in the UK next month. I'll have about 24 hours in London - hmm, maybe I *should* hire you to help maximise my time there. :D
Sounds good to me!
Tell me, would you recommend this for someone of the more introverted persuasion, lol?
Looks amazing. Always enjoy your vids, esp the recent ones around Hampstead, where I used to stay.
Actually there are all sorts there and even the quiet ones are moved to opening their lungs!
im going to start one here a hoosier howl sing along great idea you should be in films ( cinema }
Sounds like a great idea
You are looking like real londoner
The next pub along is where you can have, the good old cockney punch up!
I'm sure there are still some of those around!
Guru - ગુરુવાર
I love places like that, are there more like that in London?
Probably but I don't know them all. There must be similar things for hip hop and rock n roll karaoke etc.
u f rock mate x
That's too kind
Mocney sing along
Just read on news.London's pubs to be saved. I think it said 154 to be saved.
Tims Tips; try to sing a song and have a good laught every day of your life
I'm glad that like many, my words and prayers are too getting closer to your goal. Keep the good job up.
Just wondering, have you by any chance given up your camera man? I think from the last video he's been missing (hope I might be wrong though)
Did you ever will to work for new generation of Charlie Chaplin movies or even Sherlock Holmes? Because both suits you very well...
I'd love to be in those films. It would be great. Hope springs eternal. Don't worry about Simon. He doesn't live in London so I can only use him when he is free. He also has to work for a living I'm afraid.
Supercalafragilisticexpialadocious. Hope I spelt that right 🎩🌂
I'm glad that I found this one as I asked you about something similar on another video today but heigh ho! Cockneys in Covent Garden? Wrong side of the city isn't it? I'm not sure that I've been to that pub but I've frequented CG and it's another part of town that I like (the market intrigues me). Is the pub more towards Leicester Square station or futher down?
Yes, near Leicester Square.
Great thanks I'll give that a go on a Thursday.
MAD ABOUT🤗🇬🇧🏰🇬🇧🤗 JOOLZY
