      Jools, please, would you consider adding subtitles to your videos. They are beautiful to watch and enjoy, but we can’t rely on the auto generation subtitles to be correct. Please consider being inclusive and getting these fixed - at least in future videos.

    Can’t resist… In 1964 at 13 years old with my sister 14, returning from France, unaccompanied, we sat on the steps of the arched entrance to Kings Cross station for 6 or seven hours waiting for our French cultural/language exchange student guests to arrive. They had been delayed at the French side of the channel… immigration nonsense, of course. We knew they would eventually pass by there on their way to catch the train north to Berwick on Tweed. We gave up eventually and using the five pound note that was safely squirrelled away, we spent the night in the Great Northern Hotel, travelling home the next day. Our guests, it transpired, came through the archways within a half hour after we gave up! Sweet memories. I’m a Scot and live near Montreal, speaking french, of course. However I spent a couple of years in London and and I’m captivated by your Walks. Thank you.

    This is precisely why I am a fan of Joolz! Quirky, sentimental tidbits of odd historical minutiae attached to seemingly everywhere you look! Like that Joolzy memorial to Glindor Michael, or linking the misdaventures of Verlaine and Rimbaud to Simons' rather brilliant impression of Stallone's Rambo, or Julian's more than passable Jimmy Stewart. All the while on a pleasant stroll on a gorgeous Autumn day! This is just great TV-especially good during lockdown, when all we crave is to get out of the house and visit places outside our bubble! Thank you Julian. You are doing invaluable work!

    You're a brilliant guide Joolz! Lovely stories - so engaging and a treat to watch. My great grandfather was a master builder and constructed a house in Royal College St (19c) It was acquired compulsorily by the Railway to build the line that goes through the area - they were sad to lose it and as it was for public works apparently got a pittance in return). My granddad died at St Pancras Hospital sadly. But the Pearly Kings of Kings Cross have a statue at St Pancras Cemetery (in N. Finchley - which is used for buriels of locals) - so the connection continues. Thanks for sharing your really great insights x

    Another wonderful video. Keep them coming. I live in Essex but come into London 3/4 times a year and explore whilst riding my bike. Travel miles and enjoy this wonderful city so much. Keep it up Jools.

    Great video Joolz. Shame the security guard stopped filming He mentions private property, but if your stood on a public footpath filming just the outside / external part of the building i didn't think you needed permission under section 62 of the copyright, designs and patents act 1988. You do need permission if you intend to make a 3d model of the building and the building is within the terms of its copyright (usually lasts for the life of the architect plus 70 years), or you want to enter the building and photograph / film inside then yes you might need permission. I thought you were on a public footpath while filming the German Gymnasium?

    Do you ever get around Barnes as my Daughter lives there. I was blown away with the history of the Olympic studio.
    Keep up the great work old man.

    Hi Jools. Just discovered your channel. Great videos with some really interesting facts and information. It was the Midland Railway who built the line into StP and went through the churchyard. As you said the Great Northern was next door at Kings Cross. I was always confused when watching The Ladykillers film as the back of the house overlooked the entrance to Copenhagen tunnel and yet the view from her front door looked up Argyle Street which is a mile or so away! Obviously a bit of artistic licence going on there! Look forward to watching some of your other videos. Miss coming into town because of this lockdown and doing my walks. Your videos are the next best thing with some great snippets of information thrown in. All good stuff. Keep the videos coming. Take care.

    Wasn’t the area called _Battle Bridge_ (over the Fleet) before it became King’s Cross - hence the associations with Boudicca? It’s a superb summary Joolz tremendous work: and _oi_ the hangovers I remember from the raucous chaos of The Church.
    Speaking of which, that is of course St Pancras *Old* Church even though it’s a Victorian rebuild: the New Church is the one opposite the fire station on the corner of Eversholt Street and Euston Road with the huge caryatids. I do miss that old an odd wasteland behind the stations where the arches of St Pancras used to stretch back darkly seemingly for ages before they were demolished for the Eurostar.
    It sadly comes as no surprise that _The Man Who Never Was_ was a vagrant of Somers Town. This was one of many great countless details I learned. (we all know she’s *really* buried beneath the Tumulus on Hampstead Heath... 😁)

      Yes, Battle Bridge. You are right. I sometimes cherry pick which info I think will resonate the most. That one got left behind I'm afraid!

    I liked this video on my first viewing, and today I watched it for at least the second time. It's really up there as one your best, Joolz, and very interesting. I've noticed much that passed me by on the first viewing. Behind St Pancras station you showed two old gasometer frames enclosing flats built inside them which I thought was a wonderful idea. Gasometers were all over the place in the country when I was a youngster and I know many of the frames have been, quite rightly preserved. Maybe the building of flats in others around the country would be a good idea too. I noticed other things i missed before too, so I'm glad I chose this to watch again. I have though, watched many of your video's more than once. Keep up the fabulous work.
