Mews: A group of buildings originally containing private stables, often converted into residential apartments. (The Free Dictionary) I've learned something new today.
Your visit to the old Middlesex Hospital site brought back memories to when I was a young patient there in 1949....We lived off Tottenham Court Road at the time & so did all my relatives & I went to my first school next door to the hospital in Langham Place..you may not realise it but this used to a totally unpretentious working class neighbourhood back then in the 1940/50/60's...
Matthew Flinders is still remembered in Sydney. We have Bass & Flinders Point, and outside the State Library there's statues of both Flinders and his cat Trim.
Wonderful. So many memories, we lived in Manchester Square until I was 12 in 1971. We would wait for my grandmother to fall asleep and then run across the Square and spend an hour in the Wallace Collection.
I agree and seeing this lady reminded me of the button makers that used to be in my home town. I would love to know more about this lady and her buttons.
It reminded me of a bead shop I discovered back in about 1970-71, somewhere in the West End. Amazing place. Small and dark and packed full of jars of brightly coloured beads of every imaginable size and hue, on floor to ceiling shelves... I wonder if it's still there...
Definitely he should! He's a very good at interviewing! Some of shop cheaper are probably getting old, but very interesting!! and needs interview them!
Many years ago, I had a real struggle to learn a Mozart piano sonata, K576 in D, before it became hidden again in the mists of time. Then I watch an interesting Jools vid, and up it pops again, and I'm transported right back to those hours slaving away at the piano again! It's a lovely piece, but a real pig.
Superb video. I worked in Fitzrovia for 27 years so there were a lot of familiar sights here. What is noticeable is how much the area has been spruced up in the last 40 years but still retains so much of its charm and quietness despite its proximity to Tottenham Court Road and the Euston Road.
3:15 - Flinders has a mountain range in South Australia and a university in Adelaide named after him, as well as a major street in Melbourne. There's a statue of Flinders outside the State Library of New South Wales in Sydney - and behind him on a ledge is a statue of his loyal cat, Trim, who was named after the character in 'Tristram Shandy'. The cafe at the State Library is named after Trim.
I had dinner in the Post Office (Telecoms Tower) restaurant in 1966/67 - We were visiting my Aunt and Uncle who lived in Virginia Water, Surrey. I was only 6 or 7 at the time, so didn't really appreciate it.
I was a similar age when we had a meal there and my father received a gold watch from a company he worked for.. I had to go to the loo halfway through and when I got back the restaurant had moved around and I got lost!! 🙈😂
Almost 200 000 subscribers! So so deserved! ❤️ Thanks for keeping London close while we have to stay away, and generally brilliant knowledge and entertainment 😊
Thanks Joolz, that was a great walk. I’m off to visit the chapel, the tobacconist, the button shop (I love buttons) and to say hello to Capt Matthew Flinders and have a bit of a yarn with him!
I worked and walked around London for 12 years, I've wandered through many of the areas that you feature, but never knew the history. I can't wait till you let us "Yankees" back in so that I can revisit them and see them in a different light. Thanks for the great tours! Cheers!
@@Joolzguides I bet you didn't know this , that the British actor Sean Bean (known for GoldenEye , Lord Of the Rings as Boromir and in Game Of throne ,) use to live in belsize park
Loving this walk Joolze. I lived on Charlotte Street for about 2 years back in the 80's before the area became known as Fitzrovia so this is bringing back many memories. I wish I could afford to live there now.
I love watching your vids....I had an ancestor live in Cleveland Street, and my ancestors (Jewish) were from the East End. Matthew Flinders is very well known here, well at least here in South Australia, and the Flinders Ranges are magnificent up in out northern outback region. My father was born up there, and my Kentish ancestors lived and worked up there in the 1850s onwards and did a lot of mining, carting etc as pioneers from 1836 (when SA was first proclaimed at colony, oops my Kentish family came out in 1839). Love all your videos walking about London, been there in 2008 but would love to go again. You rock. Thanks so much from South Oz.
Another very interesting video on London. Matthew Flinders has several places named after him around Australia. In Victoria where I live there is a town on the Mornington Peninsula aptly named Flinders. In suburban Melbourne there is the Matthew Flinders Hotel which back in the 1970's was one of the biggest Pub Rock venues around. AC/DC played there at some stage. And where I live in Mornington there is a plaque commemorating Matthew Flinders as he landed near here on 28th April 1802.
You do make wonderful videos, Julian. I used to love to wander around Londons's streets when I lived there, but the buildings weren't so smart & beautiful at that time. I lived in London, off & on, between 1975 & 1991. You are impressively knowledgeable about where you go walking. It is so nostalgic for me to to be able to go around your beautiful city on these video tours of yours, & to be able to realise the dates of the various buildings. Thanks for that.
When I was living in Australia my school house was named Flinders. Didn't know however that he had such a short life. You learn something new every day - lol
Thank you Joolz. Greetings from Leipzig. When my son was at Wycliffe College Junior School, the headmaster was Mr. Roger Outwin-Flinders, a distant relative of the explorer.
Around 1978 I sang in a small chamber choir that rehearsed in the chapel of the Middlesex Hospital. Most of the 12 singers were young medics, whilst I was a teacher. The acoustic was amazing. I'm glad the chapel has survived, but didn't realise it was called the Fitzroy Chapel.
That shop and that lady that sells buttons was amazing. It's fantastic that youve got that on record for posterity. Once again you show just how much of interest there is in London,not just in far off history but also in recent times and now.
In my home town of Aylesbury there are several pubs that claim to be where the Great Train Robbers met after doing a recce. What is certain is that when they were arrested they were taken to Aylesbury police station where my Dad stood in a identity parade with some of the gang. His office was directly opposite the nick!
Love your videos. Came across them while researching places in London that my family lived during Victorian times. My great grand aunt actually lived on Cleveland street. Believe number 66. Rest of my family lived around Holborn/St Giles/Chadwick St (where the channel 4 building is).
Extraordinary seeing that button maker....my dad who was a tailor in Charlotte St used to visit a lady in Cleveland St who was a felling hand who would prepare holes in suites where buttons would fit into...I reckon that my dad must have known this shop personally 70 years ago...gobsmacked!!
This is a warm and interesting introduction of your father's story and occupation at Morse school into the history of the city, I was touched 😆 And we hope to know one day more about your club 🎩
Hi Joolz's, I'm glad to see you in a Pub having a pint at the end of your video. It's like your trademark learning about Pub's history and where the name's came from. Thanks for another great video.
Despite living in London for over 20 years , this is an area I wasn’t that familiar with other than sitting in traffic on the Euston Rd…..love your videos for both reminiscing from my London days and also learning heap
No Sunday is complete without a Joolz guide video. I used to visit the RAF Central Medical establishment when I was a Medic in the RAF. The strangest group of medical personnel you could ever find!
Great informative walk as always, thank you!!!When I get back to London someday(hopefully) I'm going to visit some of these lovely small streets!!!I just ADORE London!!!I spent 2 of the best years of my life in this blessed city and country!!!Greetings from Athens-Greece!!!
Joolz, your videos are always enjoyable. They're fun, full of facts and your narration is spot-on. Really enjoyed meeting the "Button Lady" I never knew that about the American Pie song, now I got to listen to it..... Great video.......
Thanks for the little jaunt, Julian. It amazes me that no matter how many times I've been to London over years, there are still hundreds of interesting places like this that I've not been to.
London is stunning, but like all cities it has parts you really don’t need to visit, ever, & well, it has people who you really don’t need to visit ever 😉 London needs to be walked, best way if are a tourist…
It might’ve been when your dad lived there. It’s clean and modern now. I was born and raised there, left for 15 years and went back for a visit a couple of years ago and was pleasantly surprised!
I really enjoy the bits you share about the people mentioned on the landmarks. Like Henry Fitzroy who married a 5 year old! This throws up red flags. However, Henry was only a 9 year old at the time. I guess it was really all about land ownership and expanding your wealth as soon as possible.
Another wonderful trip across town with you Joolz. Always entertaining and I always learn something new about my incredible city. The button lady and her shop is a gem. Thanks.
I used to work for a pub company that owned the Northumberland Arms on Warren St. The 1st floor of the pub had a "Being John Malkovich", 7 1/2 floor with a really low ceiling height, you can see it from the street. I always wondered why.
another Very enjoyable video ...everytime I see the telecom tower it always reminds me of that classic " goodies" episode " kitten Kong" from the 70s !
Evertime I see you show the po tower...i think of the white cat( aka' the goodies').....on it...as a northerner I love these walks so informative of london..
I went to university in Cleveland Street from 2009 and took the area for granted. A few year later (about 8) I started to read books about London and some of the amazing histories attached to it. This eventually pulled me into the rather splendid world of Joolz Guides and some exquisite videos. I also do a lot of walking around Highbury, Holloway, Crouch End, Tottenham and also Fitzrovia plus lots of other places. But i took the history for granted and now have a new perspective on how to walk in and around Londinium. So having watched lots of the videos I thought I should purchase the Rather Splendid book. I will have this book tomorrow and I will be drooling with excitement as to where it will guide me. Thanks for research and sharing.
This is an amazing post to me as I was literally walking down Cleveland Street last week and saying to myself Joolz needs to revisit Fitzrovia. Incredible! Anyway, good stuff as always. Fitzroy Square is always being used as a filming location. Reynolds Woodcock's home in Phantom Thread was there near The Indian YMCA. Massive kudos for shining some light on the button lady, Mrs. Rose. I've always found that shop fascinating and fully expect every time I walk by it for it to be permanently closed but I love how it's still there and she keeps going. It should be granted a special status at this point like your tailors to allow these places to stay open in London, particularly in central London. It can't all be massive chain stores and international corporations.
Flinders ranges it is. Also it's not far from Spencer's gulf. Named after Lady Diana Spencer's family. South Australia. Edit to add, there is also Flinders street in Adelaide city, which is the capital city of south Australia. Named after Matthew Flinders.
Flinders: there are the Flinders Ranges in South Australia, various streets and roads named after him and a town. Darn, there’s even a huge pub in Melbourne called : The Matthew Flinders. One of the main streets in the Melbourne CBD is named Flinders St and indirectly so is our major City terminus station which is called Finders St Station.
As usual a wealth of knowledge and information on London. I would say one of the most knowledgeable people on the topic of London which is a confusing mess to the rest of us. That meal must have cost a small fortune.
Great to see those tailors and the “Button Lady” real characters. Years ago they’d have found they way into a Dickens book I’m sure.
I remember when the Middlesex hospital was there. I snuck out of work one day to see Princess Diana arriving for a visit.

Oh I love the button shop. So quaint and seemingly untouched by modern technology!
Matthew Flinders is still remembered in Sydney. We have Bass & Flinders Point, and outside the State Library there's statues of both Flinders and his cat Trim.
Isn't there a train station in Melbourne called 'Flinders' ?
@@MrRQBQ Flinders Street is one of the two main stations in Melbourne
@@matthewalker Thanks, I seem to remember watching a documentary about the train station.
Not to mention there's an island in Bass Strait named after him.
The Flinders Ranges that Jules mentioned in the video are in South Australia. Lots of very old rocks there.
Wonderful. So many memories, we lived in Manchester Square until I was 12 in 1971. We would wait for my grandmother to fall asleep and then run across the Square and spend an hour in the Wallace Collection.
A good friend of mine is a descendent of Captain Flinders. After seeing his portrair he looks like him too, crazy.
A great sunday. New edition of Joolz Guides have landed.
love the button lady - would be fascinated to see more of these specialized shops and special shop keepers
I thoroughly agree. Cheers
I agree and seeing this lady reminded me of the button makers that used to be in my home town. I would love to know more about this lady and her buttons.

He's a very good at interviewing! Some of shop cheaper are probably getting old, but very interesting!!

I found that so interesting as well! I really hope someone is able to take it over in the family

This was the best walking tour of London I have watched. I’ll make there, one day, because I want a button.

Yes Flinders was a prominent part of establishing Australia.
Had dinner in the tower around '78...some kind of set 3 courses for around 20 quid...yeh great view as you rotated at crawling speed.
Jolly nice ramble. Now I need a nap after all that excitement.
It was a great shame that Middlesex Hospital was demolished. I was born there on the 18th of December1959 and spent my first christmas there.
