Euston and Mornington Crescent Splendidly Spiffing London Walking Tour
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2024
- In this spiffing walking tour of Euston and Mornington Crescent Joolz takes you on a wander past the big development of HS2 and all the way down Hampstead Road past Mornington Crescent and around Delancey Street in Camden.
#JoolzGuides are perfect as #LockdownWalks and perfect for your daily exercise.
I'll be honest, it's not the most picturesque of walks because of all the building going on but once you're past that it has it's pretty corners and, as usual, it's packed full of history and anecdotes, dead people and buildings which aren't there anymore.
St. Pancras New Church, where to get Malaysian food and Roti Cenai, Laurence corner, secret KGB spy meetings, Euston Station, Mornington Crescent, Charles Dickens' school, Withnail and I, and much much more!!
All with the soundtrack of Terry St Clair!

Why anyone would want to go to Birmingham at 'High speed' is quite beyond me quite frankly
we need a video of all the hearts your mom broke. :)
@catchit good point 👍
One of my favorite YT channels!! ❤👏
We DO care Jools! Don’t belittle all your interesting historical facts!
Ha ha! Thanks... I only say that when I'm being vague about something and can't be bothered with the exact facts.
I love hearing all the bits of trivia Joolz offers and the back and forth with Simon. This is what I enjoy in the videos in addition to the sights and sounds of the city.
My sediments exactly! Joolzy is much too modest. He should start saying, "This is Joolz Guides, the greatest London RUclipsr in the universe."
Absolutely aarisone1.!!👍
I care - especially as it's part my own personal history, having stayed here (flat in Crowndale Road) for a week in 2012 before going on Eurostar from St Pancras. Saw the Egyptian cat building. Went to the Harry Potter Studio Tour from Euston (via Mornington Crescent - got our coffee from the Costa next door). One 'arrgh' moment - walked past the 'Koko' venue and didn't realise it was formerly the Camden Theatre where they recorded most of the Goon Show episodes! Also walked over the Hampstead Rd railway bridge (with the metal rotating coronaviruses) to find the NHS Regents Park medical practice in Cumberland Market, as daughter had somehow contracted impetigo on her lip on the 24 hour flight from Sydney. Sigh - will I ever return?
I lived in London for 20 years before I moved to New Zealand 10 years ago, I am missing London terribly, these programs are a wonderful tonic to my unquenchable nostalgia and disconsolate sickness for home. Thank you, my ghost of Christmases past.
I am in the same boat mate. I am English and moved here 2006. I miss London alot especially the tube. And now it's very disconcerting not knowing when I can go back for a visit. I watch heaps of RUclips to make me feel better.
Who cares? I do Joolz - I love the history. So keep it coming, OK.
Morning cup of coffee with a new Joolz tour! No better way to start a sunny Sunday ❤️❤️❤️
Central London on Sunday morning you see so much and check place
Central London on Sunday morning you see so much and check place
Get a life
Haha, same here a few Sundays later :-)
Look forward to these on a quiet Sun morn in USA. Need the laughter these days🤪
It's all going to be ok..
There'll be bluebirds over the White Cliffs of Dover, and everywhere else,very soon!
The statue of Sir John Betjeman in St Pancras station, is without a shadow of a doubt, my favourite statue of anyone, anywhere. It perfectly embodies everything about the great man.
Thank you for another great wander round the greatest city in the world.
The sculptor is very interesting too, he was on great lives radio 4 talking about his great life choice another sculptor Charles Sargent Jagger
When was the statue made and erected there ? after Sir Johns death no doubt. I loved his TV series, and books.
@@MrDaiseymay November 2007, unveiled by Sir John’s daughter.
Thank you Joolz, excellent video. I was born a stones throw from Mornington Crescent Tube Station so found this really interesting. My Mum was a cigarette packer at The Black Cat Factory. At Christmas the company put on great parties for the children of their employees, which we attended each year🎉🎉. The company moved out of London, to Basildon, Essex in 1959 and the staff invited to move with them. Mum didn’t fancy this and we remained in Camden Town.
Love your videos. Very positive and uplifting in these dismal times.
Who Else LOVEs London!
Nothing better than a wander around the sites of london on a Sunday morning , i like covent garden and its buskers on a sunday .when this pandemic passes i will return for a weekend break with my daughter and her wonderfull son who is growing up fast cant wait for his grandad to give him a weekend away stay safe and well joules god bless
"Endlessly staring out of windows" It's these wee extra gems that make these history walks so compelling
Oh boy, a London tour. My day's better already! Thanks Joolz.
Very enjoyable walk about. I spent 3 summers working for Camden Council (Inverness Street) as a street sweeper in the 1970s. Excellent pay and I learned fascinating (!!) skills such as strapping rubbish bins to lampposts up and down Camden High Street. It seems a lifetime ago (it is).
LOVE a Joolz film of a Sunday morning
Hola Jools, I grew up in San Francisco, but move to Tennessee in 1978. I have visited London twice and traveled all around the UK and over to parts of Europe. However, London keeps calling me back. I enjoy watching your videos and getting a tour while sitting in my living room just a little west of Nashville. Keep up the excellent work you and your camera man are doing mi amigo. Be safe.
"Why, Sir, you find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford."
- Samuel Johnson, September 20, 1777,
They're leaving in their droves
Actually I’ve left
For Lisbon
I still miss London but brexit is horrible
If only Sadiq Khan and his throng would leave London
You should win the Nobel Prize for Cheerfulness imho. You really are elite level cheerfulness
And memory!
genuinely obsessed with this channel
I do love these relaxing meanderings through London. That coffee shop looks amazing. Let’s hope he doesn’t embrace any modern technology any time soon.
No chance of that!
Watching the stop in that coffee store had me craving coffee.
After the most horrible week here in the U.S since 9/11, it's a huge relief to see a notification that our dear Joolz uploaded a new video. This was a wonderful way to start my Sunday and I think I'll spend most of today re-watching most of his videos to help me keep my equanimity. So glad to see that Joolz was able to end his video in a pub as is his won't.
Dang spell check --- should be "wont " without the apostrophe. :P
I watch his videos because they make me happy too!
Willie Rushton was indeed on ISIHAC. He also provided the voices for the Claymation characters in "The Trapdoor".
The Mornington Crescent game is just meant to be a send up of games with obscure, complicated rules. I'm pleased to see you apparently approached Mornington Crescent correctly according to Finch's variant rules...
Perfect Sunday morning viewing 👍
So good to have program like this, even during lockdown thank You 😊
Joolz: ''who cares!? I hear you cry''
Me in the background: i do
There’s nothing better than a brand new vid from joolz to cheer you up
Always love it when a bit of Withnail is thrown in a video 💖
Here in Oz it is Sunday night and the last day of my holidays, what a perfect end, thank you.
Haha here in Oz too, last day of my holidays also, and reliving my trip to London in the early months of 2020 before everything went to hell!! Cheers to the next holiday!
Oz is that where the The Wonderful Wizard of Oz lives?
I wish I was there too. Freezing here.
@@Joolzguides mate I will have your cold over my heat any day.
A Sunday morning stroll around the capital how spiffing
The Laurence Corner ex army shop was great, bought all my work clothes in there, I was on the construction of the Victoria Line Tube, the site was just down the road from there. My father was The Works Superintendent and bought a huge steel frying pan, big enough to cook a full Sunday english breakfast for two persons.
It's amazing how much history is behind these places that we pass by everyday, amd even live in, but we don't take a second thought about. It's also quite sad when you think about what the older buildings have become and what they meant to alot of people. I especially like hearing about the clubs and bars that were popular haunts of celebrities
Joolz! All I had to say to my husband was, ‘There’s a new Joolz!’, and we tuned in to RUclips on our ‘telly’ ! You have given us such a gift, especially after our Feast of the Epiphany storming of our capitol! We then replayed your two Christmas videos! There are so many places that you go that we have never heard of! Your tours are so very rich..and fun! It has been such fun seeing your wonderful London with you! We were planning to come when COVID broke out and our air conditioning crashed.A fortune to replace! So, it may be a few more years. Anyway, until we get to travel again we’ll travel with you. As soon as I figure out this patreon thing Joe and I will send something! Your video is just what we needed during this second impeachment process. Is there a chance for a Sherlock Holmes tour? Love your sisters music too!Thank you, thank you, thank you!
What a lovely way to greet Sunday morning. Cheers, Joolz! Stay safe. ❤️🇬🇧
This video was a bright spot in my day.
thank you so much for this ..really having a hard time right now with lock down was watching this is so helpful ..even if you did a tour of your flat during lock down would be interesting !!! thank -you again !
I love this series. Thank you for keeping going x stay safe out there.
I used to love his videos but he spends too much time acting in them now.
I had to laugh when you said you were in the Malaysian restaurant and they brought everything at once. I live in Malaysia and that’s totally normal here, even if you order something which is listed in the menu as a Starter or an Appetiser! 🤣
Yes, same in Wagamama.... dessert comes before main course. Fine by me!
Just what I needed...
Cheers Jools 👍🏼
Another fantastic upload, thank you, the amount of knowledge you have and give out is incredible
Genuis at work......one day I will get the opportunity to share a walk with you.
Thank you for another breath of normality and innocence.
Sometime I wish I really was normal
@@JoolzguidesWhat about innocent? :-)
Thank you, dear Joolz!
And thank you for subtitles.
22:45 and 13:25 - "always women staring out of windows, whining about ducks going to moscow-" I like to use these videos to discover Withnail quotes, just a light peppering to add flavour. Pip-pip.
Good Morning Julian nice too see you out and about, also Happy New Year to you and your Family, let's hope things get better in 2021
Happy New Tier more like...
Back in the 90s I worked as an IT Trainer at The Kings Cross Technology Project (KXTP) which back then occupied the upper 3 floors of the Lord Palmerston pub shown at 13:24. I also remember The Lawrence Corner army surplus store that was mentioned. The area has changed a lot since those days but it's good to see that the Asian restuarants and food shops where we bought lunch and went for evening meals still appear to be there despite all the redevelopment taking place.
Pip pip tally ho good to see a new video hope you had great christmas and new year 👍
Cheers
@@Joolzguides your very welcome sir have a great day from Liverpool 👍
Drinking a smoothie along with a slice of cheese toast on a chilly Sunday morning while being given a London tour by Joolz. Who needs money?
Well, it can't buy happiness but it can buy the brand of misery I prefer!
The cafe owner .
Thank you, Joolz. I so look forward to getting the notification of a new Joolz Guides video, and especially during this time when we're hibernating because of the dreaded lurgy. Keep well, my friend.
Awesome video I enjoyed watching.
This is one of the best Joolz Guides ever !!
I used to roast coffee beans in the same manner in The Importers Coffee Shop/Lounge in Golders Green of all places.
Joolz is back, yay! I'm American an an unabashed Anglophile. I love seeing places that pop up in so many stories I enjoy, and I always learn something new. 😀🎡
Amazing work always, keep up the good work joolz.
Hello Joolz, Thanks for the Grand tour and sharing the History of London 🇬🇧
Hello Joozl thanks for the lovely update darling.. I hope you still do individual tours. I’d like to book with you some time in February if possible.. Hopefully, restrictions will ease some by then. 🤞🤞🙌
Wonderful film again! Bit of music trivia...Mornington Crescent tube station is where Madness filmed their video for One Better Day. It featured Mrs Suggs (aka Bette Bright of Deaf School fame) and was entirely filmed round Camden with lots of recognisable places from your Camden music film. Keep up the good work my friend!
Another Fabulous day with Joolz!♡
I lived in a flat at the point where Mornington Terrace joins Delancy Street in the early 1970s. (We could hear the wolves in the zoo howling at night). I had to bus everyday to my office in St Mary's Hospital, Praed Street. It must be a nightmare trying to do that now with the HS2 crap going on. It was so nostalgic watching this video. So wish something like your tours had been available when I lived in London. I love watching them, thank you! Mornington Crescent tube station was closed for donkeys' years, which might have been why Willy Rushton and the crew chose it for the game....who knows?!! Very best wishes from Devon!
I used to be a security guard and in charge of the external security at the British Library around the time when they were constructing the new addition to the Kings Cross Station, the CTRL or Central Tunnel Rail Link, and Midland road was closed for ages. Great memories and nice to see the BL.
As is often the case Joolz, you take me down memory lane with many of the places you visit. In a nice way I hasten to add! Keep up the good work old chap!
24.44 minutes of total happiness! Thanks Joolz x
Hi Joolz. At 2:42 those "Lady columns" look a lot like the columns at the Erechtheion Temple, "Porch of the Maidens," at the Acropolis. "Erechtheion"------Hmmmm, that word. When doing construction in London how much old stuff do the workers come across, things like Roman coins, old culverts, human bones, medieval foundations just to think of a few. Really enjoy the dialog between you and the video guy, it's a great touch. I can smell that "coffee place" from here, it looks like a great place for a cup. What a fantastic watch, you really pull in the viewer. Thanks for your time and work.
Thank you so much for all your wonderful tours of London..I’ve spent so far my lockdown watching them all, I really enjoy the cheerful way you show us around London, all the facts you point out, the music you play, I especially love when you show the very old parts of London, the hidden courtyards, the old churches and graveyards..I hope when everything returns to normal you will do more..
Best channel on YT by far.
Information and entertainment in tandem.
Really pleased to see a Malaysian restaurant getting featured in your vid! I've been there and it's a good shout. Architecture student studying in Manchester here.
Hello Joolzy from Pretoria lockdown South Africa 😇🙏🎉🎊😘🍾🍺🙋♂️
OMG that roti looks DELICIOUS!!!! Great video as well. Thanks Joolz!!!!
Loved this one. Familiar and lots of memories. Great channel
Great programme! I live in Mornington Crescent and this is a very interesting show with lots of intriguing facts
I grew up in mornington creasent and I love seeing the history of it and around the surrounding area, thanks!
Euston just gets more soulless every time I see it. Used to arrive there to walk to college and despite years of passing through it is just depressing. Great vlog as always.
It doesn't look great around there
I watched your documentary on Pitcairn. It is one of the most fantastic travel documentaries Ive seen simply because you capture every part of travelling both good and bad in that film. Moments of pure comic genius in it too.
I just joined The Victorian Society after watching this video. I swear, I learn more about London's people, landmarks and organizations, past and present, from Joolz Guides than anywhere else. You, sir, are a national treasure! Edit: by the way, the recent PayPal donation to you that wishes you a "Hay New Year" is from me. My "P" key sticks.
Watching while having breakfast (Asheville North Carolina). Love your tours, will look you up when ever we can get back to the UK.
Watching from Asheville , as well....STAY WARM today...
What a splendid spiffing London walking tour by Jools Guide. Wonderful and fascinating! Thanks a lot. 🏆🎖👍
hey man, been watching you for months during lockdown... been watching on smart tv so this is my first comment here watching from my computer. just wanted to say that you and your channel are an absolute treasure, especially in these times when so many of us are stuck at home and in my case across the Atlantic in Canada and unable to travel. you give us a sense of joy and lots of reminders in your older videos of what was like when we all had our freedoms. I've been to London twice before and barely scratched the surface of this amazing city. your knowledge and wealth of historical references are staggering. absolute gem of a concept you've come up with here. I just cant say enough good things about what you do. thanks for the hours upon hours of escapism during what is probably the darkest time any of us have ever experienced!
Thank you so much Julian I miss London so much and travelling you help make these times lighter
Great walk Joolz, Very interesting as usual and Nice to see John Betjeman waiting at the bus stop @ 7:21 appropriately masked up too!
Wow. Jules pronounced the Roti Canai and Nasi Lemak Ayam Berempah perfectly!
More by luck than judgement!
Very interested about Euston and past place happy new year joolz
Hi there, I thoroughly enjoy your channel and all videos. I'm a Londoner, though no longer live there sadly. I know there have been many great movies and shows filmed over the past decades in our great capital, and would enjoy seeing a tour of locations of some of the great films venues now compared to then. I believe that content will be great viewing to me and many others. There's a challenge for you and your friends.
Thanks for posting this vlog, my great uncle completed is military training for the city rifle brigade in that building . Unfortunately, he was killed in the western theatres in france and so many of his fellow soldiers where also killed in the trenches in ww1.Their regiment compiled of volunteer soldiers, to be precise city gents who worked in finance and insurance companies in the city of london they lacked the training of professional soldiers as trained after their work and sent of to war 1916.
Glad to see Roti King mentioned! As a Malaysian myself I can confirm it’s definitely a top 3 best Malaysian restaurant in the UK.
What a treat! As I've been enjoying 'Take Me To Pitcairn' Joolzy has been uploading another film.. Cheers!
Mr .Joolz thank you for the uploads. I find your videos very entertaining and interesting. I have been living in London for quite a few years but I keep seeing on your channel places I haven't seen or missed during a busy day.
During the current lockdown its very uplifting to see London is not dead closed.
Here I am in late June 2021 rewatching all of Joolz videos for the 5th time around! lol 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hey don’t judge me lol. There are lots of worse things I could be doing instead of driving up the view count on Joolz videos lol
I encourage everyone to share his videos with as many people as you can. Lets see if we can get his subscribers up to a million before the lockdowns are completely done.
WOOHOO!!! Come on people! We can do it!
He does so much to bring us joy, entertainment, and most of all as close to being in London as possible without booking a flight or train and actually going there lol
🇬🇧👍🇬🇧🚙🛵✈️🚅🍺🍺🍻 🇬🇧
Cheers everyone! 🎩👑🎭🤹🏻♂️🏰
Your walks are so good... having lived in London for over 30 yrs and now up north.. during these times I miss going down... you make up for it! Loving your chat!
I am reading LONDON: The Biography at the moment, an amazing book by a great author Peter Ackroyd
That's a fantastic book - worth a second read.
There is a series online
So happy Joolzy is back!!! Missed ya doll! Thanks a bunch!
Oh I think I've just found my new favourite channel 😍 these videos are medicine for the soul in these weird times. Thanks for sharing!
Another great film. Keep making them and I'll keep watching... Leo
I used to live in Mornington Crescent. No 20. We left at the end of 1983. I kept waiting for you to walk past my old house and you didn't :-(
I pretty much know (knew) everywhere you visited in this. It's where I grew up. You've actually made me quite sad.
Another fabulous video! Thank you, Joolz!
Your channel ticks off all the boxes for me. I am thoroughly entertained, I get to travel while it is impossible to do and my incessant need for historical facts is placated. I love it!
Thank you Joolz you always manage to cheer me up.
Your videos are brilliant and so informative. Your knowledge of London is enormous ! I am amazed !
Excellent video,,really enjoyed it, thank you for producing!
But Joolz, isn't that actually the fun of watching your videos: you explaining the historical and architectural amalgam that is: London ...!! ;-)
Me moaning about it usually!
When I can finally travel to see London I'm definitely going to make it a point to get a tour by you! No matter the area or subject you're talking about you always make it interesting and have some trivia about something associated with it. There was a really old movie that had a line where a man described someone by saying "He was a man that could make a walk down a long, empty, dead end street feel like a destination you'd want to take with him", and it seems like a way to describe you as well because you could make any walk taken interesting with your knowledge, style and your "gift of gab" to entertain us!
Thanks Jools. Great vid as always.
Excellent, Joolz, thank you! I wonder how many others sang the Pogues with you AND cheered every time Mornington Crescent was mentioned? Surely, it can't be just me...?
