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.
Professional scalliwag
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 love his interactions with the public. Always funny.
22:29 Joolz groupies?
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.
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.
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.
Absolutely
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
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.
I worked at Parsons Green for years and all over Fulham. It was a trip down memory lane. Thanks mate 😎👍
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.
This channel should be well over one million subs!
Another Sunday morning gem from Joolz!
I was nervous for the seat of Jool’s trousers today!
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.
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.
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!
Thank goodness your back! Yay xx
Thank you for keeping us entertained.
Hello everyone From Dublin . ☘️☀️
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'm Fulham born and bred, but this brilliant video has tod me things I never knew! Superb! And humorous too.
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! 😘👏🏻🥂
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
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!
Please do not stop your travels around London, I am a Londoner, but live in Sydney, I Love London history. Thank you JOOLZ.
4:30 “Down My Endz” always knew you was man dem Joolz Guides 🤣
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!
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.
I like Joolz’s videos first THEN I watch. They’re always good! Thank you Joolz!
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.
You continue at your peak! I can never get enough of your commentary!
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.
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
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.
Joolz Guides please come and do a Joolz Guides of Richmond and Twickenham. Their is some much hidden history hear
Brilliant, your walks just keep getting better...hope you keep heading south west through Barnes, Sheen, Kew & Richmond...so much history there.
"Don't tell him Pike" - still makes me laugh.
❤🇬🇧 👍😁
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.
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!
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.
You missed your calling Simon 😎. That was an Oscar worthy performance 😉
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 love the format of your videos . So informative with humour too. Thank you. Really enjoyable.
Well Done! Thank you so very much for another fascinating and excellent presentation of a walk through the environs of London. More please!
oh thanks Joolz you made my day. I think this is my favourite tour so far. You always make me smile and feel happy, and I really needed some comfort and joy this year. ❤
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 :)
Looking extremely smart today Joolz definite improvement.
Absolutely love watching your vlogs. Pure joy!
All the best!🤗
Joolz, you are such an enjoyable host. I love getting notifications of your new postings!
Love your walks, and sense of humour. Keep on keeping on. Love your bags.
We do enjoy your guides Joolz excellent work Sir well done .
So excited to see a new video from you! I had the pleasure of vacationing in London 2015 and planning another trip in 2022. Your videos have given me some wonderful ideas for my next visit. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much man! I’ve been waiting for this since January!!! After I decided that I want to represent clients as a personal property agent and advisor for buying and selling their homes in the area. I love a good back story to tell them about the area that they are going to live I and I couldn’t find anything suitable. Until I came across your channel.
After searching and checking each week there you go finally!
Thanks so much!
I just love the way you find all the hidden knowledge on you videos! And your style of presenting. 💕💕💕
I love watching you Joolz and I can't wait for your next video!
I thrill to see a new Joolz guide post!
Brilliant Joolz boosts your moral in these tense times
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.
So glad this popped up in my recommended feed, great channel and very interesting!
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.

Another brilliant video, Joolz! Looking like quite the toff in this one (tie instead of your usual ascot). As usual, you make my Sunday mornings the best part of my weekend. Keep up the good work, Joolz & Simon!
Thank you Joolz for another very enjoyable London adventure!
Thanks Joolz & Simon. Very entertaining as usual xx
Man, I love London... and that's also because of you and your walks!!! ;) CHEERS from Greece

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.
FANTASTIC JOOLZ, ONE OF YOUR BEST. LOVED IT.
Wow, so informative, interesting and engrossing. I felt as if I were rigt there, walking down beautiful London streets.
Thank you !!
Another great view into London , thanks Joolz 🙏
These videos are quite brilliant. So entertaining and informative.
Another excellent show with soothing music!
Absolutely splendid Joolz..Thanks 👍
Love this! And thanks for the lovely note to Patreon patrons. We support you feeling sunny and not stressed!
I love watching these videos. So much information about places that people have no idea about. Keep up the great content.
Excellent as always!
A sunny Sunday made even sunnier. Probably is Royal Dalton, pretty impressive 🌞
Brilliant Joolz....keep em coming
Nicely done as always Joolz!
He has managed to create his own brand with his RUclips channel.
Morning Joolzie! Love waking up to you on Sundays. 🥰 Also, love those trousers. Cheers! 🌹❤️
Love your videos! Thank you for sharing London with us. A fan from Wisconsin USA 🇺🇸 ❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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 .
Wonderful tour as always, Joolz! I especially appreciated this because this is where I lived back in ‘82 when I studied in London. Scores of times, I’d walk past Bishop’s Palace en route from Putney Bridge tube station to Cloncurry Street never realizing how grisly it’s history was. After attending a game at Fulham FC I realized why the area for the fans is called ‘The Stands’, having never been to a stadium without seating for fans before.
Great as always, Julian. Lovely Spring greenery!
thank you for another fantastic video Joolz (& team).

Looking dapper today - thanks for lovely walk!
Love it love it love it 💕❤️ Thanks Joolzie🥰
lOVE YOUR SHOWS...SO DARN POSITIVE.
So enjoy your videos Joolz, we have a growing list of places we must visit 😊
You are terrifically entertaining an informative about a City I love and thought I also knew well.
Keep up the good work!
You are the most dashing chuckletalker. I was very low until I saw the notification of a new video and your dapper duds are on POINT! just lovely.
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! 👍👍
Just stumbled across this channel and am delighted! Splendiferous!
Love your guides Joolz. I also love your Quintessentially English style, fabulous!
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 😊
fantastic vid joolz as usual
