You should be the official storyteller of London, your videos are so informative and absolutely entertaining...
He is the official storyteller of London. On top of that he is a born and bred Londoner.

My father in law Arthur William “Billy” Watson was a survivor of the 1928 Fulham flood. His rescuer was Madge Franckeiss who later received a citation from the Royal Humane Society. Sadly his sister Irene Watson and cousin Dorothy Watson both perished in the flood.
They were living in the basement flat at Hurlingham Court. The flood waters burst the bank at the Hurlingham Club. Thank you for bringing this walking view of the neighborhood all the way to Cape Cod.
Thank you John for you kind words.
I just saw Joolz bowling around Trafalgar Square talking to a small group of people
I always said I knew this mess would be over once Joolz started tours again.
Thank you from the whole world.
The lovely dog at about 22:00 is worth being interviewed, as he looks as if he's been around some time in the neighborhood.
he would be hard to Collar
Brave man to use the zip line thing in white pants.
There's another pottery kiln near Notting Hill.
Used to be a pottery kiln where I am in harringay green lames but got demolished a century ago
Is it still there? I can't find it on Google Maps.
Thank you for all your videos. They bring back many memories of my teen years. I was born in NW London in 1939 and lived there till 1956 when my patents moved out of London. My teenage years were spent working in London, Warwick Lane. Weekends were spent with my mates waling or biking around the west end. I had many trips back there till 1968 when I left for Western Australia. I remember vividly the view from Hampstead Heath of an unspoilt St. Paul's dominating the skyline. Sadly London has been spoilt by incongruous architecture.
another amazing video. I watch so much dross on RUclips that leaves me feeling deflated or sad or angry, but your videos always make me smile. It is simply the best most positive and life-affirming channel on YT.
Me too, really cheered me up
Absolutely
I love his interactions with the public. Always funny.
22:29 Joolz groupies?
There is one topic that I have been waiting for for years and nothing. So here's the idea for a million views - Jolly London Football Tour! And taking the opportunity, thanks for your work. :)
Brilliant Bring it on !
That would be good I work at Fulham West ham Millwall and Tottenham as well as Wembley would probably take more then one episode could do north south east and west maybe
Not more football, please!
@@resnonverba137 you would find it interesting I'm sure he could do the areas around them as well so not all football
@@markbarker6739 Not any football would always be preferable. More areas of London I am of course all in favour of.
Hello everyone From Dublin . ☘️☀️
A family I nanny’d for were members for the hurlingham club and they took me there with the children...it is really lovely and so idyllic. The kids play area is insane. It’s like entering a another world.
I was born and grew up in the shadow of the Hurlingham Club, but I visited East Germany (when it was still under the Communists) before I ever set foot there! (It was an open day, circa 2002, when I was already in my 40s.) It really is like entering another world!
I was nervous for the seat of Jool’s trousers today!
Thank you for keeping us entertained.
This channel should be well over one million subs!
thanks for making me love my city again
@Simon Simon oh dear then don’t watch
@@mikedwards8077 Then he would have nothing to complain about. People like that are only happy when they're pissing in your cheerios.
Please do not stop your travels around London, I am a Londoner, but live in Sydney, I Love London history. Thank you JOOLZ.
I worked at Parsons Green for years and all over Fulham. It was a trip down memory lane. Thanks mate 😎👍
Joolz! In 1975, I moved to London for work and desperate for 'digs'. I ended up living @ The Vineyard, thanks to Kirstie A. I stayed in Lady Beaverbrooks room! Best time ever!....thanks for filming! 😘👏🏻🥂
As always, an absolute treat of a Sunday morning. I don't mind admitting I poured a glass of grapes in anticipation, I dare say I'll follow up with another at lunch. Keep up the superlative work, old bean.
I used to live in one of those flats in Sulivan Court. They were built in 1951/2 on a polo field which had been bombed in WW2. Walked down Studdridge Road to work, had forgotten about the lions. The park with the zip line is where Monty Python filmed The Upper Class Twit of the Year sketch for the TV series.
Oh that's terrific! I wish I knew that at the time!
@@Joolzguides Yeah, I used to work in Fulham Town Hall opposite the tube station, I ...oh, you mean the Monty Python bit don’t you..? Bugger.
@@Joolzguides The park where you went on the zipwire still holds polo matches for three days every Summer......"Chestertons Polo In The Park"
I wasn’t aware either polo field was bombed. They were definitely donated to the council during the war to be used as ‘dig for victory’ allotments by locals. After the war the council declined to give them back to the Club and the flats were built and Hurlingham Club was created.
Well spotted re where Monty Python filmed.I was going to mention that! I lived in Sulivan Court too & it was voted best estate in London in 1976 I heard!
Joolz Guides please come and do a Joolz Guides of Richmond and Twickenham. Their is some much hidden history hear
Crikey - so close to the lovely Crabtree pub by FFC and you ended up going over the river to a Putney pub!.
Good job though - here's a few missed bits:
- The Elizabethan School (on the way to the Hurlingham) - but lovely external shot
- The old Ferry dock from the grounds of Bishop's park - still with the words "Ferry" on the sides of the stairs - ran up the 1950s
- The old Moat drain
- The memorial in the Bishop's Park rose garden to the Fulhamites who joined International Brigade during the Spanish civil war
- The curious story of the borough with two football clubs (Fulham & Chelsea). When the London Athletic Club moved out of their sports ground in Fulham near the station (Walham Green as it was), it was redeveloped by it's new owner as a football ground and was to be the new home to Fulham. Fulham couldn't afford it and stayed where they were and a new team was formed to play at the new ground in Fulham. Called Chelsea, in Fulham.
Ah, that was around about late 1904 when Fulham turned down Stamford Bridge. The founders of Chelsea FC , the Mears brothers, firm had built a lot of houses in SW London. I think they had also previously done some construction work at Craven Cottage too. They were also members of the London Athletic Club which had moved to Stamford Bridge in 1877. They wanted to turn the stadium into a multi-sports arena so the track remained. The famous Olympian, Harold Abrahams was also a member of LAC. The London Athletic Club didn't actually move out until 1933. This was after Speedway and then Greyhound Racing had been introduced there. J.T. Mears (one of the brothers) actually gets a mention at 6:25 of this particular walk. Joolz could do three or four walks around SW6.
Another Sunday morning gem from Joolz!
I'm Fulham born and bred, but this brilliant video has tod me things I never knew! Superb! And humorous too.
Thank goodness your back! Yay xx
Henry Vlll gave Catherine of Aragon the title of Dowager Princess of Wales, because she was previously married to Henry's elder brother Arthur, and therefore was Arthur's widow and not Henry's widow.
Oh thanks! Yes! Of course....doh! Stupid me. I'm not much of a historian. That makes sense now.
Good ol' Jooz. Another nice one. During the 1940s I was born in Fulham, (in Fulham Road, near the High Street). I often pop back there for wonder and saw all the lovely places you visited in your video. Believe it or not, you talked about things even I never knew about. Thanks for that!
Your way of saying blood in Swedish is spot on😂 Those two words probably rhymed in older English.
Shakespeare seemed fond of that sort of ryhming!
@@Joolzguides Anthony Burgess reminds us (particularly in books such as "Language Made Plain") that as far as sounds are concerned vowels are the least stable component of any language.
I like Joolz’s videos first THEN I watch. They’re always good! Thank you Joolz!
4:30 “Down My Endz” always knew you was man dem Joolz Guides 🤣
Good Sunday Morning Julian and Simon , so glad your nearly at 200 thousand Subscribers. I really hope that You, Your Mum and Family are keeping well. Thank you for another fantastic installment in "Joolz Guide"
Have you seen where he goes to Pitcairn island in the Pacific , to me he should have got an award for that one if you haven't seen it I recommend you check it out
I used to play Sunday league football many years ago in that park . I’m a pensioner now , where the hell did the time Go .
Thank you for the video sir! It was such a treat! You actually showed my former home at Hurlingham Court Mansions, Hurligham Road, SW6, right in front of Hurlingham Park where me and my little brother played. We attended Holman Hunt Primary School in the 70's at New Kings Road ( it is called by another name today). Parsons Green was our station and mom and I used to cross Putney Bridge to buy at M&S. My dad worked as a MD/PhD at Brompton Hospital. I miss London so much. I visited everything ten years ago, it changed, but not that much. Still feels like home to me. The post office is right there! 💗
I went to Holman hunt school in the 70s,I went recently and it’s called st Thomas academy.Still looks exactly the same.
These videos are absolutely superb. They are very informative, but also highly personal and suitably quirky in just the right places. You also share your fondness for good, old-fashioned English eccentricity.
You are doing great work and deserve our support.
You continue at your peak! I can never get enough of your commentary!
The White Horse pub used to be ( or maybe still is ) the flagship pub for Pilsner Urquell, which is, of course, the absolutely best beer in the known universe.
pravdu díš!
London is much more of a beautiful, magical world unto itself than New York City is....
and I'm from New York.
How I wish I could live in London.

Brilliant, your walks just keep getting better...hope you keep heading south west through Barnes, Sheen, Kew & Richmond...so much history there.
Excellent as always. We have a small upmarket suburb in Nairobi called Hurlingham. Its good to know where it may have been named after.
So lovely how people all over the world are enjoying these videos and history! I'm from Holland myself :)
Absolutely spiffing walk 🇬🇧
Love it❤️ Another one very special for myself. The first place I used to live when I came to London 16 years ago, very close to Fullham Stadium, between beautiful Hammersmith Bridge and Putney Bridge. Thank you for the sentimental journey 🙏 Take care
One thing I would like to have heard about is the Putney Debates during the Civil War, held at a church just by Putney Bridge.
St Marys?
Its in Putney.
Man, I love London... and that's also because of you and your walks!!! ;) CHEERS from Greece

A sunny Sunday made even sunnier. Probably is Royal Dalton, pretty impressive 🌞
Thanks for the great video.JDS in AZ usa
My uncle pat owned the Peterborough cafe in the 70s and 80s And I was born on parsons green , nextdoor to the sloney pony in a special clinic/ hospital that used to be a hospital for the destitute ,at marks school in ackmar road is no longer ,my lower school and nor is the upper school by bishops park .
"Don't tell him Pike" - still makes me laugh.
❤🇬🇧 👍😁
Looking extremely smart today Joolz definite improvement.
I believe 'ham' as a suffix simply means 'place' or 'settlement.' Great video (as always) Joolz.
It just means 'Home' and Fulham's name is as likely to derive from 'Fugol Ham' (Fowl Home) as from any long forgotten personal name.
Lord Bulwer-Lytton was secretary for the colonies when British Columbia was formed in 1858 (later joined Canada in 1871). Lytton, BC is named after him.
Love your videos! Thank you for sharing London with us. A fan from Wisconsin USA 🇺🇸 ❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Joolzy, I love the two-tone shoes! Most debonair, old chap.
I used to go school in parson's Green
I got my father into your guides and he always asked why doesn't he do Fulham ( it's where we lived ) to which I'd say he can't be everywhere at once dad, sadly my dad is no longer here to see this episode showing Fulham.
Thanks Joolz for these great videos keep it up
Fabulous, but there is no tunnel under Fulham Palace which leads to a Pub! unfortunately a myth. However there are remains of a Medieval Chapel, Evidence of Roman, Saxon and Viking settlements, and much more, we Hope to re open the Museum and buildings in June. Come back and take a tour with Me. Fulham Palace Tour Guide. The day you filmed at the Palace was our Green Meet Day 2nd May, hope you enjoyed it, and thank you for this fun Video.
I was poking my head out of my window and saw Joolz filming by the pottery kiln 😁 and this has now popped up on my feed! 30 plus year Fulham resident here! Thanks for the amazing review x
I love Simon, he adds so much colour to this video.
The best football chant is about Andy Goram. He reported he had a mild form of schizophrenia.
So the chant went up, "there's only two Andy Gorams"
So glad this popped up in my recommended feed, great channel and very interesting!
Thanks 🙏 Julian... superb video as always and a finale surrounded by lovely lasses 😉... my best to your Sorella e la Mamma. Ciao 👋 S.
So lovely to watch this. I was born in Parsons Green, they used to have a maternity home there. Beautiful part of the world x
Jay B, I was born there too!
Thank you for that. I'm an avid Fulham fan. Its true about the M J Statue. When Al Fyed sold the club the new owners took it down and sent it to him as a present, and we loved Mr Khan for doing that.
Subscribed. Can't wait for an episode about Wimbledon and Merton.
ABSOLUTLEY BRILLIANT YOU ARE A WRAFT OF INFORMATION. WHO WERE THE YOUNG LADIES IN THE PUB AT THE END.??
FYI - Katherine of Aragon was the Dowager Princess of Wales before she married Henry as she was the widow of his brother Arthur and was hence granted a dower house.
He has managed to create his own brand with his RUclips channel.
You missed your calling Simon 😎. That was an Oscar worthy performance 😉
Thanks Joolz One of your best ever. Splendid? Raather.
Chapeau !
Best vid yet .... does help that I’m a Fulham supporter !
Thank goodness someone still got something nice to say about London,stiil such beautiful places to see an live ,
Joules your storytelling is amazing and interaction skills are phenomenal too love all your walks they put a smile on my face .stay safe and the same to your family and keep up the vlogs cheers pal
Thanks! I'll keep trying my best!
Very nice one today. Thank you
Ooo, new video, so nice! Thumbs up 😘
Hurlingham club is for tennis today👍
Ooh Joolzy, it's like a present every time I see a new video of you. You truely bring some happiness into my life. Thank you so much!
Btw I like this classical/piano music far better then the songs you usually have playing in the background!
I also noticed how wonderful the music was in this video. I assumed it was because the neighborhood was so posh. Some areas in the other videos work well with Li'l Lost Lou's music or Tom Considine's jingle jangle tunes.
I hope he plays some Lil Wayne in the background next time.
I finally signed up on patreon. I will be donating to your Fabulous site. Cherio Mate
Thanks! That's very kind of you!
I do like the "Very Special Effects"
No expense spared!
Thank you. Great video
So glad to watch you . I like Fulham.
Your camera servant often sounds like Baldrick from Black Adder..
Catherine of Aragon was a widow when she married Henry, having previously been married to his brother Arthur, hence the Dower house.
We do enjoy your guides Joolz excellent work Sir well done .
Nice video but as an Fulamite, I was a bit disappointing that you neglected to mention the Castle Club building on Broomhouse Road. This was a wonderful example of Victorian neo-gothic architecture and was originally built as a convalescence home for patients from the old Brompton Hospital on the Fulham Road (built in the same style and lovingly converted into exclusive flats). I think that the castle club has also had the same fate.
I was born in Parsons Green clinic,lived on Fulham road number 658 for ten years,learned to ride a bike on fulham road and used to bomb over Putney bridge on my Raleigh commando.Great memories 😊
Love joolz guides. Hope to bump into him in Sept 21.
Ahh, Craven Cottage, the most beautiful little ground in the country.
London is very beautiful.
What a beautiful part of London
Wow, so informative, interesting and engrossing. I felt as if I were rigt there, walking down beautiful London streets.
Thank you !!
That was a blast from the past, I lived in Napier Avenue from 1961 to circa 69. My bedroom was on the top floor and my window overlooked the Council park And playing fields. We were members of the Hurlingham Club, and I used to walk our dog there most days. It has a lovely look over the river, I note the embankment has changed very little, and neither has Putney Station.
60 years ago.... what a memory blast, thank you. I was 10-16 years old then ....
I recently retraced your footsteps of this Fulham video, thoroughly enjoyable even ended the walk with a few pints in the Boathouse by Putney Bridge. Thanks Joolz!!!
I am Franco/British and love all Joolz videos and learnt a lot from them, and consequently discovered many places in London and interesting tales, such a the one of Duck island linked to a man called Charles de St Evremond, who was born very close to where I live in France. I live both in France and in Kingston upon Thames. I was delighted to see the street named after me in this walk. ...Thank you very much Joolz.
I thrill to see a new Joolz guide post!
fantastic vid joolz as usual
Nicely done as always Joolz!
22:23 bubble car alert.
If I ever get back to London I want to spend some days walking around and not going straight from an airport to work.
Awesome video as usual.
Cheers mate
Brilliant Joolz....keep em coming
Oooh 😲 Brilliant and fantastic! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊😊 I plan by August to be back in London to see some of the sights you gave shown us sooo genially! 👍👍
The boat race has been moved to Cambridge for a few years till Hammersmith bridge is repaired I work in Fulham football club the oldest club in London love the area very friendly people around there all of them are loaded.the roads leading to Stevenage road are all in alphabetical order starting from the letter b down to the letter m I think
Hence they are known as "The Alphabet Streets"
