Waterloo to Southwark - Most Excellent London History Walk
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 мар 2020
- In this most excellent London walk Joolz takes you from Waterloo through Southwark and towards Borough for a pint at The Lord Clyde pub.
We start on Waterloo Bridge and walk past Waterloo Station.
Then it's through the Leake Street tunnel to see all the graffiti. Also the father of the music halls "Canterbury Music hall" and the old entrance to the Necropolis railway where you tool the death train.
Also included are The Old Vic theatre, Roupell Street, the first circus master and fire insurance plaques.
Then it's along the railway arches to The Ring pub and the sculpture which Charles Dickens passed on his way to work every day.
The last men to be hanged in Britain for homosexuality and also the very cute, interesting Kirkaldy Testing Museum.
Thanks to Harry A. for all the research!

Joolz Guides - London History Walks - Travel Films hoping over to IG for a follow now! Love the content, super interesting and so well presented. Thank you 😍👋
I'm always wondering: How did an account "get deleted". Who deleted it? Why?
So many mysteries
Does anyone else load up Google maps when watching Joolz' videos? I find it fun to follow along and zoom in on things he chats about. just me? okay.
Not just you
@@rucker69 Me too!! :)
Tobias Paterson Yes I do that!
*How do you get 2 major applications to run together* ❓
Steve Blonde I watch Joolz on my iPad and follow the route on istreets.
Excellent. Pity the new buildings have all the charm and charisma of a dead dog.
Lol!!
As much as that, I would have said all the charisma of a modern politician, at least a dead dog was once loved.

I left London to live in Canada in 1979. No regrets, but this channel makes me long for London again. Joolz you deserve a nightnood. Incredibly good in every way. Thank you so much!
I moved to the London from a foreign country at the age of 17. There is something so enchanting about this city that still keeps be here! I've always loved London, and always will :) Thanks Joolz for reinforcing my love.
Come work for me I got a great business's here

Since retiring 10 years ago I've been doing London walks with my friends using 3 small book guides ( I'm sure you know the ones I mean ) . Somehow , I have found your guides and they have shown me even more information than shown in the excellent books . Please keep up the good work . Your enthusiasm and humour is exactly what is needed in these trying times . Well done that man !!! Old Gold
I've been travelling around London with you vicariously while isolated in my home in the USA. I can't wait to cross the pond when this is all over and perhaps book a tour!
I've been to London on a 22 hour layover on my way to Romania. Wasn't nearly enough time.
John Groves creepy and mean in one go! Good work! 🤦🏻♂️😆
@@johngroves3126 OK so list some...
@@johngroves3126 Lol, typical big talker with nothing to show for it. Move on.
@@johngroves3126 You're the one calling Joolz an amateur. If your knowledge is so great, then tell us what you know that he doesn't. If you can't prove it, that's fine...then stop calling people out.
I like that Dickens lived in so many places which is true. I Broadstairs, Kent where he also famously lived there is even a house with a plaque stating that ‘Charles Dickens did NOT live here’
Tiny addition to your lovely video. At Blackfriars and The Cut, diagonally opposite The Ring Pub, is that modern building which used to be the East India House, part of the British Library. It held all the colonial material about India. It was a wonderful place, both for the good and the bad of the history of colonial India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, but few ordinary people knew of it.
This channel is just endless joy
I was visiting London for the third time in a row next April and now I feel extremely sad knowing that I won't be there because of this coronavirus.
Thanks, Joolz for uploading these videos. They really cheer me up and surely it happens for a lot of people too.
Dont let the Corona virus stop you!! It's only like getting the flu but much less deadly
@@cmmartti You've been fearmongered!!! we're coming into spring/summer when it will probably die down and at the moment you're 100X more likely to die of flu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Corona is 16th on the list of viral deaths per day. THERE ARE 16 VIRUSES YOU SHOULD BE MORE WORRIED ABOUT.
Ann Other the reality is this virus is entirely capable of overwhelming our healthcare system. The economic impacts are also huge for many. It is nothing like the flu, the symptoms dont even match. You have been misinformed.
@@Coletrainbaby Bullshit. Do some research. Corona is 16th on the list of viral deaths per day. THERE ARE 16 VIRUSES YOU SHOULD BE MORE WORRIED ABOUT.
@@cmmartti The Flu kills up to 640,000 people yearly, worldwide. COVID19 so far around 8,000. Stop being a panic merchant. You're not helping
thanks for taking in the kirkaldy museum. as a trained metallurgist this was a surprising and most interesting discovery. especially when the kirkaldy machine is compared to a modern day universal testing machine, how times have changed. i will stop in on my next trip to london. many thanks.
Julian, I swear to god, you make me feel like I am walking the tour right there in person, you are the BEST! the fate of those poor 3 gentlemen is very sad, thank god laws have changed and attitudes are also slowly changing for the better....stay safe sweetie with whats happening in our world at present.... I think knocking back a few beers or a few scotches and cokes per day would ward it off this insidious virus... (wishful thinking LOL)....thanks again for this wonderful video xxx
“We better not film over there”... 😏heads towards topless women 😂😂😂
I saw that Lonley Planet magazine voted Kingston to Greenwich, along the Southbank, as the second best walk in the world, behind Copacabana beach. I've walk this part of Southwark several times and indeed, it is spectacular!
Gosh, that would take a while though!
@@Joolzguides depends and how many pubs you stop at ;)
Kingston to Hammersmith is lovely, about 9 miles, a nice afternoon walk, done it many times. 😊
Being stuck at home due to the complete lock down here in Bergamo, watching your new video is the perfect way to get some relief...thank you very much, Joolz! This video is great, as usual for you!
I hope you are ok over there 🇮🇹
Lifts my spirits in times of woe and reminds me of the freedom we have all taken for granted.
These south of the river videos are giving me life! Thanks!
I used to live in the old brick Public Library at 8:00. It was then the Waterloo Action Center (don't know what it is now, of course), which was associated with Blackfriar's Settlement, down at the other end of The Cut. There is a flat that takes up the first and second floors, which was shared by a few folks associated with the Action Center.
I lived in London for about three years in the late 70s, as a student from a small American Quaker college for hippies, to tell it just as it was! We did mainly internships and field work, rather than traditional classes, I was youth work volunteer for the Settlement, and later spent a couple of years working for a citizens' advice bureau in Bermondsey.
I love London. I have never felt as at home anywhere since, before or since. Thanks for these videos!
I often wondered about that ornate Victorian building squashed between modern buildings on Waterloo Bridge Road near Lower Marsh, which you say was a place for storing dead people! I only took a pic of it the other day and wondered about it. Thanks Joolz.
Magnificent stuff. Waterloo Bridge is so plain to look at but has, arguably, the best views in London.
Another great vid ta. My maternal grandmother's family lived in this area from the mid1800s to the mid 1900s. My nan was born in Webber Street off the Cut in 1892. My mum was born in Upper Marsh in 1927. At one time the family had a coal shop in Lower Marsh. My nan said that the shop also had a piano and a snooker table! I was born in St Thomas' but by then the family had a shop near the Oval.
I sought out Pepper Street and that particular church door the last time I was in London. Those cottages across the street are amazing. Thanks for highlighting this part of London!
Thanks Joolz. Been waiting for this one. I was born just around the corner from Roupell St on Hatfields back in 1950. We moved from that slum to even worse hovel on Boddys Bridge just down from the OXO factory. It’s mostly gone now. Built over with towering office blocks. Learned a lot I didn’t know about my old hood. Thanks again
Great video once again! I had to cancel my holiday to London due to CV 😢 I'm hoping to make a trip in the Fall. I can't wait to go to a few of the haunts & pubs you show in your vids. Thank You 🇬🇧
Loving your tours. Being trapped in Toronto and not able to come to London this year these make the best next thing. These are great, keep them coming
Yeeaahh! Happy sunday with a little London tour! Thanks Joolz!
Julian, you’re so musical and are so familiar with classical music … for those classical music nerds among us, I’d love to see something on English composers of history: Morley, Dunstable, (Handel’s operas) and up through the 19th century, if you like! Happy holidays! Regards to your mum!
It’s early July 2021! I’m rewatching all of Joolz videos for the 5th time!
WOOHOO!!! 🇬🇧🎩🇬🇧🎩
Cheers all
I love this ! Encourages me to rediscover London ! Excellent work !
What a nice treat today!! Thank you so much Julian for these videos. Love them!! I can hear my favorite Kinks song in my head.
Another great video, you make them so interesting. I like how you find these little obscure museums that I would not of known otherwise.
Thanks Joolz for posting . I liked many of the highlights Leake Street arches art work looks fantastic and really lovely community memorial plaques and of course The Lord Clyde pub. Cheers!
Great Stories, History, Travel Guide Etc. I am glad the videos a longer. Thanks Joolz
One of your best vids there Mr Joolz. Packed full of interesting factoids and also kudos to the way it was shot. Thank you.
What a wonderful introduction into the London's art world. And the soundtrack is magnificent. Thank you so much for that.
Watching Joolz and Simon boosts the morale on a dreary winter Sunday morning.
I love your videos, Joolz. I haven't been to London in many years but watching your videos takes me back to one of my favorites cities in the world. Thank you for the laughs too! Stay safe!
Thank you so much Joolz.I love all of your videos.Well I love England and I'm supposed to spend my 6 months starting end of May...all the best.
I just got home (near Stonehenge) from a fab weekend in London, every time I'm there I keep an eye out for you, your videos are fascinating.
You're The Man as usual Joolz. I go back and re-watch these often. Always see something I missed the first time. Best stuff on RUclips, my opinion.
Thank you for taking the time and trouble to make these vids Joolz, especially in the current crisis. Stay safe!
Honestly is 1.15 am friday now in singapore i should be sleeping but i feel bored so i watch joolz guide thank u
Yet another brilliant episode 👏
All those railway arches are the ones I examine. I've learnt a few new things and I've been examining them for 6 years....
Thanks Joolz!
I had no idea about the Dead Trains... brilliant!
Hi Joolz..as always another fascinating video..gonna book you soon whenever we get back to normal!
I'll be visiting London for the first time in April. I've been binge watching your videos for a month now. Thank you for all the insights, and tips
@@isaiasdelatorre I am. From my understanding the ban is traveling from the UK to the U.S.. But the ban is for 30 days. The ban will be lifted while I'm in the UK. Hopefully nothing happens to where they ban flights to the UK
@Nicky L I heard about the lockdown. Our state department is considering banning international travel. So I'm thinking of coming in June or Sept. I'll be visiting with of the police departments there as well as touristy things.
Hey Joolz! Re-watched the Pitcairn video yesterday and it is truly amazing! Congrats on the well over a million views! Well deserved to be sure. It's still shocking to see the difficulties that you experienced and survived. Wow!
Joolz, this was wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed the walk. Thanks!
Ahhhh pip pip tally ho old chap. Another splendid video from his Lordship Sir Joolz.
Hurrah, another splendid video to watch. Fine work, old chap.
I visit London once a month (sometimes twice if from work too) and it’s something I’ve really been missing. I had a trip planned for last Saturday which was cancelled. These videos are amazing! I’ve learnt so much about the streets and buildings I’ve walked past numerous times. The Mayfair one in particular! Thanks Joolz.
So much history. great videos.
Many Thanks......
I love your walks! As a frequent visitor to London from Canada I explore all these areas when I’m there and I use your videos for research, keep them coming!
Brilliant! Another wonderful stroll with Joolz! So glad to see people are still getting outside in London. Here in the US, things are shutting down to avoid the virus. Not fun. Thanks again for another great vid! Made my Sunday! Take care and stay safe and healthy!
I adore your history walks and commentary! On my bucket list is a trip to the UK, not only to see all these wonderful sites you tell about and trace my ancestors, but to go to your pubs and have a pint of brew! Absolutely love your work! Cheers from the USA!
Just brilliant as usual, thanks so much.
Thank you Julian for the amazing video! When I got the notification that a new video was posted, cooking and housework had to be put on hold lol. I've actually been binge watching all of your videos and learning so many fascinating facts about London. I will be attending the University of Westminster in the Fall, and I'm looking forward to seeing all the historical places highlighted in your videos, especially Marylebone. Keep up the amazing work!
It's so astonishing how many items of interest there are in this Waterloo and local district, Joolz. Totally fascinating places that you uncover in this nineteen minute video. Incredible and many, many thanks for this.
Joolz, I love your videos! Thank you for sharing so much great information. ❤️
Great Vid ..............of Beautiful LONDON. Well Done Joolz
Wow ... you are just great ! I admire your historical knowledge of every single aspect of London and I really enjoy your videos 👍
I was due to fly NZ to London next week but alas not to be, will have to wait for another time, in the meantime it is good to have these videos to watch. I love London, have been there many times and explored many back streets and pubs, keep up the good work Joolz
Some slight confusion around the Necropolis Railway location there - Leake Street is the site of the *original* terminus, but it later moved to Westminster Bridge Road, where the funeral building shown is located. Bodies wouldn't have been stored at the former site by the time the latter was in use, there are more arches behind that building that served the same purpose after the move.
It's interesting to look at this site on Google Earth by the way, because when you find all the many tracks going into Waterloo Station, you'll see that there's a single line that branches off to the East shortly before the station, and ends right behind the Necropolis building. That of course is where the Necropolis Railway platform used to be, until it was damaged and fell out of use during WW2. It's still used as a siding, and I think there are some storage buildings there.
Thanks Joolz, you're always full of laughs!! Thank you for the interesting facts!
When you retire Joolz, we'll get you a blue plaque for your abode. Greatest tour guide ever seen by the City of London.
Hello Julian,
Thank you so much for your most interesting videos!
I had the pleasure of visiting London in May of 2018 and was astounded by it's beauty and history. My grandparents are from the UK, and I felt so at home when I came to visit.
Every time I watch your tours I begin to miss this beautiful city. Thanks again for all your amazing knowledge and humour! xo Lesly
Just found your tours. Love them. Remind me of my childhood. Born in Guys Hospital in Southwark and raised in a bed-sit in Hackney and then a tower block in Walthamstow. To this day the south bank is my favourite part of London.
Another brilliant tour Julian 👏
I really enjoy watching your guides!!! Great stuff
Great Video....."But Terry and Julie cross over the river, Where they feel safe and sound" Waterloo Sunset aahh
Excellent as usual! Thanks for the tour.
OMG, your videos are always amazing and delightful. I had to laugh at the exposition in the book about "The Cut" it was both horrifying and hilarious lol
Thanks for share it!. I really enjoyed. Greetings from Chile.🇨🇱
Thanks for the walk - I enjoyed it very much.
I came across your guides by chance.. love them & got to say your Pitcairn film is superb... so well done. Fantastic.
Thanks Joolz. I hope for you and your family to stay well, I love your videos.
Excellent work, fascinating.
Greetings from Norway. I love your videos! Hope you are well and safe in these troublesome times. 💕
Thanks for the tour.
Thanks, Joolz, for so lovingly educating us on Old Londinium :-))
I was born and brought up around lambeth bridge area. This brought back floods of memories from the first 30 yrs of my life. Excellent stuff . 😀
Another excellent video.Always ejoy watching them.Entertaining and informative.
Thanks very much. Your videos are the closet to London that I can get to right now. I just missed Dublin, London & Paris in April due to covid-19 :(
Another superb video ... thank you
Thanks Joolz. I work in Lambeth area and walk to there from Southwark station next to TfL building. I'm not local to area, but found your tour a real eye opener. Thoroughly enjoyable. Think I will be taking more lunch breaks outside to investigate the local area and its history.
I just realised that it was Trevor Howard in Brief Encounter, not Leslie Howard...Doh!!!
We forgive you, Sir! Lovely Job!
Least you didnt say Frankie Howard !
No mention of when cardboard city (I think Princess Di went there in the 80/90's to see the homeless) was there ? on the same site as the Imax Cinema.
You forgot 'only fools and horses' when del boy meets Raquel on a blind date. I a time of classic British tv.

Another fabulous episode x
Another slice of old London, cheers Joolz.
Another charming journey.. Thank You..
Lots of great information in this vid...thanks Joolz....never knew such a train existed as 'the coffin train' !!! Fascinating!! x
Thank you Joolz for another great video, yours faithfully, Mark, Bemidji, MN., USA
Yaeee another video. Love it ! 😀😀😀😀.
Your videos are so educational I've been to London a couple of times and I've never seen quarter of what I've seen on your videos
Thank you for video. Keep u safe there! Coming to April if everything goes well.
Great video. I used to stay near Southwark tube station whenever I was in London. Happy memories of The Cut and Lower Marsh. Very nice area too.
I worked on building Southwark Station in 1996 when I was 16.
The material store yard was where the TFL building is now.
Oh, I'd like to thank you for this video. My gf and I went to Britain in 2018 and we stayed at the Steam Engine Pub hostal. Glad to see you were near that places and around the places we walked everyday. We now consider Waterloo (and Lambeth) "our" neighborhood. Lovely place. Thanks.
Always enjoy your very informative videos
