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 😍👋
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 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’
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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!
@@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 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.
@@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.
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!
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 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 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 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!
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
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.
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.
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 🇬🇧
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!
Thank you so much! This is brilliant! I wish you could gone on longer. I have lived in the area for the past five years but have had connections to it since 1992. I love it but, as I am a walker and thought that I look around as I walk, I am amazed at just how much I have not noticed. As soon as I am no longer having to self isolate, I will explore more closely! I will now play your other London videos while exercising on my stepper but no area will be as meaningful as this one was. Thanks again!
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.
@@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.
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!
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
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 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!
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!
In 1973 I went to a music venue called Under The Arches and saw Spencer Davis group. Very good show. Then entering out in the early hours onto the Embankment was something special.
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!
I remember seeing A Flea in Her Ear at the Old Vic. I often went there when I was at school - it was the National Theatre at the Old Vic then. I used to buy restricted view seats for 2/6. Among other things I saw Othello a few times with Olivier and Maggie Smith. I once waited at the stage door to get a an autograph from Olivier but he just swept out into a taxi looking more like a bank manager than a famous thespian.
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.
Great stuff. Liked your comment about "old-style" pubs in London. The White Horse, off High Holborn was one like that. I once commented to the landlord about his unusual linoleum, only to be informed that the floor was carpeted. It was black, and shiny. If you spilt beer on it, it formed a puddle. Amazing what decades of beer and cigarette ash can do.
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.
The best thing about these vids is that it gives me an idea of places to go in London when I'm at a loose end. I live in Harlington (Hayes) and need to get out in the summer now I'm getting older.
Yes it is, he had a ridiculously oversized bouquet of flowers.... It was later in the episode that she arrived in the Nags Head as a strip-a-gram. Hey Jules - How about putting together some of the locations for Only Fools and Horses and doing a vid ? Altho there might not be many left.
Great vid as usual-lots of memories from staying near there. Now a few facts:fire dogs=andirons(thing in fireplace to put logs on). Steeple holds the bell-spire pointy part on steeple. Thanks again for the great memories
Thx Joolz. Was there all last year love. I’m pissed that I can’t be there now😡 But I shall return.......One of these days😌😕😉😷 Stay safe please darling. We need you 👍👍👍
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!
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.

@@kb4777 That's right about the strip-a-gram 😆
Such a good idea having a Joolz OFAH episode.
Joolz Guides - London History Walks - Travel Films yes. Del Boy met raquel under the clock with a big bunch of flowers
@@kb4777 That's a good idea. Or a film theme such as 'Up The Junction' locations
Great vid as usual-lots of memories from staying near there. Now a few facts:fire dogs=andirons(thing in fireplace to put logs on). Steeple holds the bell-spire pointy part on steeple. Thanks again for the great memories
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 :(
Excellent as usual! Thanks for the tour.
Watching in Dec 2020! lol
Merry Christmas to all!
Another excellent video.Always ejoy watching them.Entertaining and informative.
Thx Joolz. Was there all last year love. I’m pissed that I can’t be there now😡 But I shall return.......One of these days😌😕😉😷 Stay safe please darling. We need you 👍👍👍
I followed a walk in Joolz's book that included the route in this video. The video is very good, following the route with the guide was even better.
Hi Joolz..as always another fascinating video..gonna book you soon whenever we get back to normal!
Hurrah, another splendid video to watch. Fine work, old chap.
Thanks for the walk - I enjoyed it very much.
Joolz, this was wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed the walk. Thanks!
I really enjoy watching your guides!!! Great stuff
Surprised you didn’t mention Waterloo sunset by the kinks
I was thinking the same as the video ended. Classic song.
Thanks Joolz. I hope for you and your family to stay well, I love your videos.
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!
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.
