Joolz Guides - London History Walks - Travel Films Another classic!! Joolz? Have you ever thought about putting your walks into some kind of app or booklet that interested viewers could purchase so as to follow in your very footsteps? But only if they’re wearing a bowler hat.
Hi jules loved the guided tour of trafalgar square so much information your a star and yes i have a cd copy of carradins cockney singalong which i play when im feeling down stay safe and kerp well god bless
I’m so grateful to this channel, I was born and raised in London, as were my parents grand parents, great grandparents and so on... you get the picture. I’ve traced family tree back to mid 1800’s all London, apart from a great grandmother from Ireland. I live in Hampshire and miss London dreadfully, especially in lockdown. Never thought I’d miss it this much, but this channel helps me feel close to my hometown of London... Stay safe, be well, keep the videos coming. And thank you...
London is the most stunning city (in my opinion as an English lady) in the world!! ...or at least it might be again in 2022 when they pull-down the bloody ice cream cone, with fly & drone, celebrating “the demise of western civilisation” that’s been stuck in prime position, Trafalgar Square!! 🤯🤬🤯
@ lau pak fatt and Denise S. It's fairly straightforward. There are plenty of reliable source materials on the history of London and its development since the year of its foundation by the Romans in AD 43. Just conduct your own research and you will find it a rewarding experience. I'm sure your local library or online research will provide all the information. What you will find if you do this is the magnitude of London's history. It is multi layered and the more you dig the more you will find!
Thanks joolz, been tuned in for a while now and your channel brings back fond memories of a place I love to me! Perhaps when the world returns to normal I can buy you a pint! 👍
Although I’ve not been into London for a few months I have been walking around London most weekends for the best part of 20 plus years and I never tire of it , still get the same buzz now as when I first went in the late 1990s
Have you ever thought of doing a series on London Pub Signs ?? There always seems to be a story behind them and they look so wonderful. Just a thought. Cheer and stay safe
Cool idea. Is it true that the Lamb and Flag is like the oldest continuing pub in London? Have had many a pint there 10 yrs ago. Although i read somewhere new owners since then that have kind of ruined that pub. Hope it’s not true.
3 years on, it's so good to have lockdowns in the past. I hope we don't have it again any time soon. And I wish I could go back and say that things turn out OK. I mean things aren't great, but we can travel again!
@@paullewis2413 it is generally still like this in the City of London early on a Sunday morning. I do agree though recent mass tourism has gone out of hand. I seriously believe the GLA and central government need to look at this after lock down.
My trip to the UK, has been cancelled by the powers that be. These wonderful tours make the news easier to take. Thank you for taking me along Joolz. Best to you and yours.
Tamara Carter Great list! I would complete "Central England" with the "Cotswolds". I went there last year as well as Oxford, Oxfordshire, Blenheim Palace and so on. I made a video of it on my channel. You should check it out!
There is something always comforting about watching a Joolz Guides video on a Sunday evening with a tea in hand before starting the work week. Keep up the good work!
Wonderful, Joolz-- when I was in London last summer, it was the hottest day on record and so naturally I wandered 'round in a sweaty, jet-lagged haze around all of these very iconic streets and sights. Strange to see it all so deserted. The Crypt in St. Martin's is a marvellous place in which to escape crowds, and the food is very good and reasonable priced for central London, and I sat around back of Gordon's Wine Bar and had a break in the shade before strolling through those very gardens. Believe it or not, I concluded my rambling with a pint at the Nell Gwynne. When I lived there a million years ago, I used to work at a now-defunct restaurant on Northumberland Avenue and drink at the Sherlock Holmes. Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane-- both recent and distant. London-- I shall return!!!
London, under lockdown gave us a unique opportunity to actually see the beautiful buildings and street furniture without distraction. Thanks for this video, really enjoyed it.
I noticed that statue of King George III on my trip to London! We made sure to take a picture of it because of all the statues one can find in London, he's someone that would be relevant to my mates and relations back home in the USA. Glad to see you're still out and about. Making sure to get sunshine, exercise, and fresh air is so beneficial as opposed to staying cooped up inside - and thank you so much for taking the opportunity to share this amazing city that is so dear to many, especially since we definitely can't travel there right now... not to mention commemorating this strange, unprecedented time when the streets are so empty! Take care and stay safe, everyone!
Absolutely love your videos Joolz mate. I'm London through and through, but been trapped in France for the last couple of years due to bad health and your videos have been great to combat the bouts of homesickness I've had. Thanks
Can someone tell me the last time they saw a sky as blue as that in London??? By the way - Joolz, your videos literally... literally improve my mental health. Your videos are like meditation and mindfulness to me. I can't thank you enough!
@@chrisomeara5795 But it's the low pollution that's making the sky so blue. Vehicle emissions are down and there are much fewer airplanes leaving vapour trails. So you actually have clear air in London. And you see what pollution you live in normally
Dan Ellis-Jones Yes the traffic pollution is less than normal at the moment, that’s certainly true. London looks so much better without all the traffic don’t you think? But blue skies like this are not uncommon in London.
Ya, London definitely does. + Around this time you could really take your time to look at things in London. Normally you should pay more attention to traffic, pickpockets etc. I made on my channel a video of my trip to England last year.
How beautiful London looks on such a sunny day. It's surreal that there are no people about. Better days will come. Thanks for being the trooper you are, you are a true entertainer and font of knowledge.
The Nell Gwynne Tavern is the first destination I've been to where Joolz has been there after me - usually I'm following in his footsteps after watching a terrific video.
It's funny as that area round the back of the Savoy I know pretty well having delivered there many times but I had no idea about the gas lamp, where it came from and the Bob Dylan video, nice one.
We have 12 of the bells from St Martin In The Fields church here in Perth, Western Australia. They are located in our Bell Tower on the banks of the Swan River. I think they are 600-700 years old.
This video popped up in my feed a few days ago. How delightful a discovery! It's been close to 30 years when I was first in London. I lived in Ealing for 3 months and did lots of sightseeing. This brought back memories. It seems no matter how long you live somewhere, there is always some interesting bit you missed! I look forward to watching more of your videos. Cheers, mate, from across the Pond! 😁
Love your guides, I've read English literature, since I was a kid, and I used to feel guilty about it till I realized I could only read and talk English, till much later I tried to learn other languag re s. What is di amusing to me, about your guide walks , is there is always something, or someone, I've read of, or about, in a book. Anyway, always enjoy your humor, and song, and walks.
Thanks for this Joolz. Once the pubs open hope you can go back to the Ship and Shovell and attempt to say its name three times fast after 5 pints. Auld Lang Syne’s means ‘Old long since’, or ‘For the sake of old times’ so says Classic FM
This has been my favourite video, even more than the Brixton one. I grew up in Brixton but worked on the strand for almost ten years ending in 2009 so it was a blast from the past recognising everywhere in the video.
All the streets in the game are actual streets in Atlantic City New Jersey. It was originally called the Landlord Game and was quite socialist in nature. It’s got quite an interesting history.
Thanks for the walking tours of London, especially during the lockdown. Never had a boring day walking the streets of London when I was there. Looking forward to coming back to your magnificent city.
Joolz, I am in love with your walking tours! First, you are an impossibly charming man, second, your knowledge of London and the stream of conscious way you tell your stories is so interesting and third - and most importantly - you are getting me through the pandemic lockdown! I adore London and was there in October. I was supposed to be there now for the Chelsea Garden show and so to be able to take little day trips of London though you has been fantastic. Also saw you documentary on Petcairn Island and loved that as well. Shouldn't you have your own talk show or something. The BBC is missing out on a real jewel...or Jool! Keep it up!
I really enjoy your videos, Joolz. Spreads some lovely sunshine on cloudy days! And your camera man sounds like Blackadders' servant! Beautiful! Keep up the good work, for God's and all of your fans' sake.
Thanks so much for these recent updates. Love all the videos but these last few have been just what I needed while we have been stuck in. I'm living in London and missing it a lot at the moment. I've been using your videos to help me reminisce about all the places I have lived in London over the last 18 years and it's been a lot of fun. Love the work sir!
Hi Joolz, your wonderful videos have been entertaining us during this rather strange time. My dad is especially a fan because he was born and raised in London. They’re so fascinating and quirky but we learn a lot from you. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Can you please consider hopping on a train for a day trip down to Brighton when the lockdown is over? Perhaps even a weekend by the seaside, spent wandering around Brighton and Hove. I'm an Aussie, but spent a fondly remembered 5 years residing there back in the 80's/90's. Would dearly love to see some of my old haunts get the Joolz' treatment. If you could finish with a pint of Harvey's Best for me... well that would probably bring a tear to my eye.
I am seriously missing my trips to London. This is the next best thing! Just dying of thirst looking at those closed pubs. The Farting Lane is perfect exit when leaving the stalls of the Savoy theatre instead of climbing all the stairs in there to get out! Plus you can slip into The Coal House for an after theatre drink!!
Again, you've made my day. It is quite amazing, every time I watch a video with places I've been to a lot there are many things I've always overlooked. Your knowledge of London and research is tremendous.
London looks more loveable and liveable without mass tourism and traffic... so many hidden gems alleys, alleyways, sculptures and PUBS with history what a tourist cannot see in the crowded street. Thanks.🌸
Thank You Jules & Simon for my Sunday video. I had to cancel a trip to London back in March; I needed a "fix." I love walking the Strand! So many interesting things to see. I know Northumberland St! The SH Pub is great and actually has good food too. Craven Passage is fun too; I had a drink outside the Shovell. As an American I thought I should do Franklin's house; Boring! Absolutely love Embankment Gardens! I'm hoping I can come visit again in October, we will see ... Take Care 😊
Always love watching your films. BTW, we enjoy having a bit of lunch in the crypt. We even attended some jazz concerts in there. 👨🦳 We miss visiting London.
I was in London on business a few years ago--we had an office on The Strand and I stayed at the Charing Cross hotel. Thinking back on it, I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't have the chance to explore the area a bit more. Perhaps I'll find a way to have a leisurely visit again.
Love your videos. I’m a yankee who worked on the strand in the Shell building for 3 mos 10 yrs ago. Recognize a lot of the land marks you showed here. I’ve had many a pints at the Coal Hole. Good memories. Hope I can get back to central London soon.

Hi jules loved the guided tour of trafalgar square so much information your a star and yes i have a cd copy of carradins cockney singalong which i play when im feeling down stay safe and kerp well god bless
I enjoy a good Crabbie's myself. 😁
You are a star.
I’m so grateful to this channel, I was born and raised in London, as were my parents grand parents, great grandparents and so on... you get the picture.

I don't have family or history like you but I do miss London as well.
Mark Lewis You're quite lucky that it's still relatively close. You could have emigrated to Australia!
I was born and raised in London .So much to learn.
Yes
I have ancestors in London but their descendants are scattered everywhere. Good for you.
How beautiful is this city!🇬🇧
Especially when yin’s empty
True true true, i’d love to go to London right now and just enjoy quiet London. I made a video on my channel of my trip last year!
London is the most stunning city (in my opinion as an English lady) in the world!!
...or at least it might be again in 2022 when they pull-down the bloody ice cream cone, with fly & drone, celebrating “the demise of western civilisation” that’s been stuck in prime position, Trafalgar Square!! 🤯🤬🤯
Lovely to see you back again Julian, the perfect lift for a Sunday!
Can I ask you a question. How in the world can you remember so much historical facts and communicate it so well .I salute you.
Lau Pak Fatt yeah I’d like to know that too! 😁
@ lau pak fatt and Denise S. It's fairly straightforward. There are plenty of reliable source materials on the history of London and its development since the year of its foundation by the Romans in AD 43.

What you will find if you do this is the magnitude of London's history. It is multi layered and the more you dig the more you will find!
I'm the same. I think that if you are really interested in something, it's easier to remember facts about it.
Uranus was discovered while he was on the throne🤣😂 great ! I’m just out of hospital and hurting but that lifted my spirts! Thank you👍👏🏻
I'm sure he constructed that comment deliberately.
smirk bigly yes I think so! 😂🤣 lightened my day tho👍👏🏻
I seem to be perpetually stuck in my juvenile spirit. Must be the school I went to.
@@Joolzguides all boys school I'm guessing, like me.

"Uranus was found while he was on the throne". Glad to hear it.
Have you ever thought of doing a series on London Pub Signs ?? There always seems to be a story behind them and they look so wonderful. Just a thought. Cheer and stay safe
He should, including Wetherspoons signs
Make that an all UK series ;)
Gosh, it would take a lot of walking. It's an interesting idea though.
Cool idea. Is it true that the Lamb and Flag is like the oldest continuing pub in London? Have had many a pint there 10 yrs ago. Although i read somewhere new owners since then that have kind of ruined that pub. Hope it’s not true.
Good idea you could make a whole TV series on that and get pissed before the end of each episode.
3 years on, it's so good to have lockdowns in the past. I hope we don't have it again any time soon. And I wish I could go back and say that things turn out OK. I mean things aren't great, but we can travel again!
Miserable day, cold and wet but what’s this? A Joolz guide video. Hurrah!
It was a lovely day yesterday in Ireland and today also It makes a change for this neck of the woods
Yay, great video Jules. London looks lovely without all the traffic and people.
Absolutely - more like I remember it on a Sunday (most shops closed) morning and before the onslaught of mass tourism.
@@paullewis2413 it is generally still like this in the City of London early on a Sunday morning. I do agree though recent mass tourism has gone out of hand. I seriously believe the GLA and central government need to look at this after lock down.
I love your walks especially now, when I'm stuck at home. Loving your new look facial hair as well, very handsome.
Thanks, although i just shaved it off. How do people eat soup with those things?
@@Joolzguides Very carefully? 😅
It's a soup filter.
The bit caught in your mow are for Ron......lateR on.
As ever Jooles , spirits lifted. Thank you
Was just about to start my Sunday lunch when i noticed a NEW Joolz video. Needless to say, lunch can wait for 20 mins. Keep em coming!!!
My trip to the UK, has been cancelled by the powers that be. These wonderful tours make the news easier to take. Thank you for taking me along Joolz. Best to you and yours.

@Marcelo Firpo Yes I certainly do. Although I also enjoy exploring other parts of the UK/ Europe and the rest of the World.
@@nadine5011 Thank you so much for the recommendation - I’ll go watch your video!
London has so many gems! I love your walks, stay safe.
Great Video Joolz. Hope you and all the people in England are doing well and staying safe. Your friend, Steve Bonds from Bay City, Michigan USA
That memoir needs to be found and published!
Love your tours, Joolz. I hope to get to London someday!
There is something always comforting about watching a Joolz Guides video on a Sunday evening with a tea in hand before starting the work week. Keep up the good work!
Please add American sub titles and play at half speed
Wonderful, Joolz-- when I was in London last summer, it was the hottest day on record and so naturally I wandered 'round in a sweaty, jet-lagged haze around all of these very iconic streets and sights. Strange to see it all so deserted. The Crypt in St. Martin's is a marvellous place in which to escape crowds, and the food is very good and reasonable priced for central London, and I sat around back of Gordon's Wine Bar and had a break in the shade before strolling through those very gardens. Believe it or not, I concluded my rambling with a pint at the Nell Gwynne. When I lived there a million years ago, I used to work at a now-defunct restaurant on Northumberland Avenue and drink at the Sherlock Holmes. Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane-- both recent and distant. London-- I shall return!!!

Yay! New Joolz Guide 😁👍
Always good to hear something positive and have some fun. Always great to watch your videos. Thanks, Joolz
Joolz, I love your videos., and get excited whenever I see a new one posted. Thank you for continuing to make videos even during lockdown.
Will be putting a lamp in my window tonight for Florence and all nurses . Great vid as always J👀LZ.
OMG! You do such a fabulous job! I have watched many of your tours over & over! Super thanks!
As an Australian who has visited London a few times, these videos make it all REAL. Thanks
Another great video Joolz. I thought I knew everything about this area, but no learnt something new. Brilliant.
Thank you Julian - knowledgeable and entertaining. Top chap!
It’s early July 2021! I’m rewatching all of Joolz videos for the 5th time!
Cheers all
This city is so beautiful and the magical facades. Thank you for excellent city tour.
Love it Joolz. Can't wait to get back to losing a few hours aimlessly wandering London streets...and ending up in a pub that's actually open!
Thank you a thousand times over for bringing light into our darkness - wonderful Joolz xx
People like you bring London alive! great work

As always, a mine of information! Taking advantage of the quietness of the area is such a coup. Thank you.
We have 12 of the bells from St Martin In The Fields church here in Perth, Western Australia. They are located in our Bell Tower on the banks of the Swan River. I think they are 600-700 years old.
HOw wonderful. Must be the church which was there before
@@Joolzguides Don't know but the story is in Wikipedia.
Hope you've got a receipt......imagine if someone pinched them and managed to smuggle them to Oz?
Love your show and always look forward to it! Love from California USA!
Joolz, you're ace. I love hearing your stories, it's so comforting. Thank you so much :-) Stay safe!
Hey Joolz - love your walking tours on RUclips. It is a real treat to see London with you.
The Sherlock Holmes is a great place to decompress after a visit to the national gallery or other touristy sightseeing.
This video popped up in my feed a few days ago. How delightful a discovery! It's been close to 30 years when I was first in London. I lived in Ealing for 3 months and did lots of sightseeing.

I love these videos during lockdown. Its like Joolz has the city to himself.
Thanks for this Joolz. Once the pubs open hope you can go back to the Ship and Shovell and attempt to say its name three times fast after 5 pints. Auld Lang Syne’s means ‘Old long since’, or ‘For the sake of old times’ so says Classic FM
This has been my favourite video, even more than the Brixton one. I grew up in Brixton but worked on the strand for almost ten years ending in 2009 so it was a blast from the past recognising everywhere in the video.
Thank you Julian for another wonderful video. These are always such a treat. Stay well my friend.
Thank you for these videos. We would have been in London this week before Covid-19. Can't wait until things open up. Seeing your videos helps!
Grew up in London the city is a great place to walk and discover a treasure chest of history!! 🚶♂️😇🙏
Absolutely amazingly awesome site, thank you
Thank you Joolz 👍 I’m a black cab driver and miss London so thanks for the sights
I was in London 20 years ago on my honeymoon. I loved it and am very glad to have discovered your channel. Cheers.
Just what my Sunday needed! Thanks, Jules, for another jolly splendid video.
Excellent as always Joolz, making me homesick watching these videos as I am currently stuck abroad!
Thanks Joolz I really enjoyed the walk. Always a pleasure to travel London with you.
Don't ever stop making vids Joolz.
We need more sharply dressed fine intelligent men like you in this world.
It's almost eerie to see the streets and sidewalks so empty! Wonderful tour Joolz, as always. Many thanks!
I for one never realized Monopoly sets have different streets in the states and Britain. Mind blown. Great to have a new video! London is beautiful.
Yes, I had no idea the original one was American!
All the streets in the game are actual streets in Atlantic City New Jersey. It was originally called the Landlord Game and was quite socialist in nature. It’s got quite an interesting history.
Thanks for the walking tours of London, especially during the lockdown. Never had a boring day walking the streets of London when I was there. Looking forward to coming back to your magnificent city.
Thanks for continuing to make these marvelous videos during the lockdown. Much appreciated!
So very entertaining and incredibly informative. I love the theatrical bits.
Joolz, I am in love with your walking tours! First, you are an impossibly charming man, second, your knowledge of London and the stream of conscious way you tell your stories is so interesting and third - and most importantly - you are getting me through the pandemic lockdown! I adore London and was there in October. I was supposed to be there now for the Chelsea Garden show and so to be able to take little day trips of London though you has been fantastic. Also saw you documentary on Petcairn Island and loved that as well. Shouldn't you have your own talk show or something. The BBC is missing out on a real jewel...or Jool! Keep it up!
Joolz, how do you remember all of this?! you've made my quarantine days better...
I loved the part with the doorknocker. Clever you!😃
Thank you Joolz for a spiffing adventure down the Strand! Enjoyed every minute, and therefore, I SHALL be back!
Jules you have the most amazing memory. You seem to know the words to so many songs, poems Shakespeare etc. wonderful!
I'm happy you finally did a mention of St Martin in the Fields. I love the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, such beautiful classical music.
I really enjoy your videos, Joolz. Spreads some lovely sunshine on cloudy days! And your camera man sounds like Blackadders' servant! Beautiful!
Keep up the good work, for God's and all of your fans' sake.
Thanks so much for these recent updates. Love all the videos but these last few have been just what I needed while we have been stuck in. I'm living in London and missing it a lot at the moment. I've been using your videos to help me reminisce about all the places I have lived in London over the last 18 years and it's been a lot of fun. Love the work sir!
Yay!! Another Joolzy video!! Your videos are so informative. Love them. Cannot wait to get back to exploring London again!
Always fascinating facts and figures to accompany your videos--and the music you find is wonderful, too!
Absolument fabuleux monsieur jools 🤹🏼♂️🎭😘🎩⚖️🏛🎬🍾🥂🇬🇧🏴❤️🕍🏰👣👣
A fabulous vlog!! I Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Great to see another quality video from you Joolz. It's nice to see all these wonderful places without the throngs of people around.
Hi Joolz, your wonderful videos have been entertaining us during this rather strange time. My dad is especially a fan because he was born and raised in London. They’re so fascinating and quirky but we learn a lot from you.
Thank you and keep up the great work!
Concerning Nelson - As I understand it he won the Battle of Trafalger single-handed.
I'll let myself out
And then got fired
Still laughing 🤣
👋clapping with one hand.
He who would would pick a pocket . . .
Can you please consider hopping on a train for a day trip down to Brighton when the lockdown is over? Perhaps even a weekend by the seaside, spent wandering around Brighton and Hove. I'm an Aussie, but spent a fondly remembered 5 years residing there back in the 80's/90's. Would dearly love to see some of my old haunts get the Joolz' treatment. If you could finish with a pint of Harvey's Best for me... well that would probably bring a tear to my eye.
I am seriously missing my trips to London. This is the next best thing! Just dying of thirst looking at those closed pubs. The Farting Lane is perfect exit when leaving the stalls of the Savoy theatre instead of climbing all the stairs in there to get out! Plus you can slip into The Coal House for an after theatre drink!!
It’s 6:45 am and time for Joolz Guides! Yeah!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'm an hour east of you. Cheers!
Again, you've made my day. It is quite amazing, every time I watch a video with places I've been to a lot there are many things I've always overlooked. Your knowledge of London and research is tremendous.
I’m London based and love looking out for these things
Love these extremely informative walking tours, along with Geoff Marshall and his tube series it has made me wish to visit London again.
Thanks for all the new material! Great to have it during lockdown--- I'm in New York and when I go out, have to wear a mask.
Thank you for bringing me outside the outdoors indoors
London looks more loveable and liveable without mass tourism and traffic... so many hidden gems alleys, alleyways, sculptures and PUBS with history what a tourist cannot see in the crowded street. Thanks.🌸
Thank You Jules & Simon for my Sunday video. I had to cancel a trip to London back in March; I needed a "fix." I love walking the Strand! So many interesting things to see. I know Northumberland St! The SH Pub is great and actually has good food too. Craven Passage is fun too; I had a drink outside the Shovell. As an American I thought I should do Franklin's house; Boring! Absolutely love Embankment Gardens! I'm hoping I can come visit again in October, we will see ... Take Care 😊
Nice to see you out and about, giving us a little joy during these funky times.
Always love watching your films. BTW, we enjoy having a bit of lunch in the crypt. We even attended some jazz concerts in there. 👨🦳 We miss visiting London.
I was in London on business a few years ago--we had an office on The Strand and I stayed at the Charing Cross hotel. Thinking back on it, I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't have the chance to explore the area a bit more. Perhaps I'll find a way to have a leisurely visit again.
Love your videos. I’m a yankee who worked on the strand in the Shell building for 3 mos 10 yrs ago. Recognize a lot of the land marks you showed here. I’ve had many a pints at the Coal Hole. Good memories. Hope I can get back to central London soon.
