I forgot to tell you that your Christmas video from 2 years ago is now something my family watches during the holidays each year. Is it possible to purchase any of your videos? There are several that I would like to have in case they disappear from TH-cam I know perish the thought lol. From a Brit trapped in America Cheers!
Dear Gods.... what a blast from the past. I grew up in Peckham in the 60's/ 70's and I remember going into that Sainsburys when they still served you at the counter, counters which ran up and down the sides of the shop. Next to C&A was a Woolies, and Christmas wasn't complete without a visit to Santa's grotto in Jones and Higgins' basement! There was also Pelican House which was a school for the blind. Just down from there was a shop where we used to buy bags of broken biscuits, opposite Oliver Goldsmith where I went to school. I lived in Dalwood Street, opposite the pub and Udens Undertakers :D Spent many happy hours in Peckham Rye park too, and I think I spotted a shot of the rose gardens in the video :)
I was brought up highshore Road, opposite rye Lane Chapel. And do u remember that sainsburys as there used to be a counter that went right round it and u had to ask the lady's behind the till for ur goods... 70s ,80s,90s... and went to bellenden school..... Good days...
So cool!!!!! Finally did Peckham. I grew up in Peckham and its so good to hear a little more history than I already knew. I went to Jones & Higgins on a regular basis especially at Christmas to see Santa. A little story I was told, not sure how accurate but.... When Jones & Higgins closed down the shop sat empty for many years because it was a listed building and restricted any modernisation. Then someone discovered it was only the Clock that was listed, so they knocked the building down and built a new shopping centre. In the 1970's the odeon was a few doors along from Wilson's bike shop. Saturday morning pictures were followed up by staring in Wilson's window at the bikes. But you didn't mention the Peckham lido. Open air pool opposite where the totem pole is. There was a blue fountain/cascade at the end and is the only thing that survived. The pool was filled in and the buildings removed, but the blue fountain is still there.
Jones & Higgins store became the 'Houndstich' shopping centre for a couple of years and then it was demolished. The Peckham conservative club was based in the clock tower for a few years after the rest of the building was demolished.
@@Joolzguides your videos are never too long Joolz! lol If anything I enjoy the longer videos more than the shorter ones lol Please keep making the longer videos for those of us that never get tired of your jaunts around town lol Cheers
My favourite youtube channel by a stretch. Lil lost Lou's music has become so integral to the vibe of your vids. I cant imagine them without her. Thank you.
As usual a top tour professionally produced. I seriously think you need to be discovered for TV. You’re so much more interesting and charismatic than most modern TV stars/presenters. Hey what do I know though…..
My thoughts exactly, though some of them (Michael Portillo, I'm looking at you) do overexpose themselves a bit. He must have been on every train in the world by now.
I was born and bred in this area in the 50’s and 60’s. Brought back a lot of happy memories growing up there. Can still recall the high street shops that are no longer present. Brilliant video, thank you.
I still watch 4 black British TV sitcoms out of England called 1. The Fosters (1976-1977) Norman Beaton 2. Desmond (1989-1994) Norman Beaton 3. Black Joy Norman Beaton 4. The Frontline (1984-1985) Alan Igbon These shows are based out of Peckhem Rye. Bob Marley used to live in Peckhem Rye also.
I'm so glad that you haven't changed despite our current state of affairs in this world. I don't know if I'll ever get to England, but I can guarantee you're more thoughtful than most other tour guides. Truly a gem.
I remember going into Jones and Higgins as a boy. Also remember the sainsbury's food hall in rye lane,which would rival fortnum and Mason. It was a long hall with counters either side and beautiful tiles everywhere.
@@jonlen100 I'm not sure.I lived around there as a kid during the 70s and till the mid eighties and can only remember it as sainsbury's,but it may have been C H Cullen before my time.
I remember my Dad talking about Peckham. I believe he worked their as well as Brixton, Stratum . He was a Journeyman Carpenter and worked on many special jobs. He built a stage for the Lupino family so they could rehearse at home.
@@annother3350 He was a family man and always got home by 5pm so we ate together, had time to play games and never felt alone. He worked hard but enjoyed holidays in Devon, where his family came from. Good memories.
Great Video for a rainy Sunday in the states. Love the music, guess it’s your sister, she’s great. Must have been something good in the water your mom drank. God knows what my mom must have been fed.
I lived on Bellenden road in 1999. Away from Bellenden village as they call it now, past the school where you read the plaques, on the right was Desmond’s barbers 💈 where the 80’s soap was based, though I’m sure most of it was filmed in a studio. My sister met her husband at car maintenance class in the school whilst working on her Austin Maxi. The superintendent on the Original cast of the tv show The Bill lives on Choumert Grove.
Without doubt, the best and most satisfying Joolz Guide in yonks (a technical term meaning bleedin' ages!). Shows that London is much more than just interesting places and buildings - it's about people - of every colour, creed, race, religion and trade imaginable. Morre of this kind of great stuff please!
Hi Joolz.. I come from a very large family, mom is 14 of 14 and dad was 12 of 13 so I have cousins up the wazoo that even I do not know of yet but Jessie is your second cousin or if the age bracket is wide then she can call you Uncle. Believe me I have my sister's son's cousin from her ex-husband and her husband was a old co-worker from years past and now he is my nephew from marriage so the family is expanding so fast now I cannot keep track but on a spreadsheet. Thanks for the video and be safe and healthy.
Just watched this with my 97 year old dad who used to live in Daneville Road, Camberwell Green. He loved it and spoke about the Italians on Camberwell Green. Thank you so much
This is literally one of my favorite episodes you have ever done. I love the free advertising you have done for these small businesses and artisans. Do more of these if you can!!!
@@Joolzguides it’s the same here in the states I have a friend that does food reviews in AZ and it amazes me when people don’t want her in their establishment.
Another Sunday morning in America, and another lovely area of London with Julian 😊 I might have missed it in the past, how and why do you know Farsi? I think the ladies were impressed! Three things to do next time I'm in town: Persian market for take-away, Brewery, Vegan restaurant. Thank You!
Absolutely love your videos. I'm a Bristolian and we're quite proud that😊 Del & Rodneys estate was filmed in Bedminster Bristol, or at least some of it was along with other scenes across the city. (Bonus point) The opening shot of 'Minder' with Terry & Arthur walking down the steps of Bridewell police station Bristol, which is now an arts space. All the best 👍👍
Im Australian but 30 years ago I lived in Astbury Rd Peckham near the Queens Rd Station. It was a somewhat dodgy area back then but I loved the 2 years I spent there. Really enjoyed seeing how much its changed ....Is Pinky our her family still trading in the area...........cheers
Yet another most excellent Joolz Guides video. Please never change the way you put these together and I particularly loved the visit to the little workshops under the arches. Sadly I concur with the ceramics lady re the rents becoming unaffordable. I run a tiny company from our garden and some old cow sheds with my partner building, repairing and making parts for vintage motorcycles amongst other things. I do the machining and my partner the welding and fabrication. If you ever pop up to Shropshire you must visit us and I'll show you around 😊
Terrific as always. Loved the walk around Peckham. 1000 years of ever changing history. I so enjoy the “ real” London, not just the official tourist highlights. 👍👍👍
❤️🌹for Vegan s restaurant And 🙄😲😊For C@A in Bgd (I am from Bgd, Serb🤭😎) Thank you again Joolz - you made my Sunday shinner,🌞cause is very cloudly and cold. Best wishes from Fashion centre Belgrade,Serbia, Europe
Your videos remind me that although I moved away long ago and I rarely visit these days, I love London dearly and will always be a Londoner in my heart.
Thank you for this. I have been a subscriber for years, and have been hoping you'll do this. I live opposite Peckham Rye Common - it fact I can see where those Italian POW huts used to be from my front door (almost) Really interesting. I was hoping you'd end in the Clockhouse, though. That's my local. 🙂
Little Lost Lou's song about seeing an angel, in this episode, is one of my favorites from her and we got to see here face. She stood out to me in this one. That's a good thing, God bless her.
One of my favourite boroughs. Doesn't look like much from the surface, but when on street level there's so many little gems turns and corners to be found
I used to love frequenting peckham, especially when I worked for Southwark council. Now I'm up north and love watching these videos and reminiscing on days gone by. I remember the days of East street market and the ice cream shop right on the corner of East street market joining onto Walworth road. It's interesting to see how things have changed now.
Spiffing episode by our one and only London Guidemaster! One additional detail about Peckham is the legend that it has its very own T1000! There used to be a videoclip of the Peckham Terminator, but I doubt it's still there.
That blazing hot saturday before last me and The Missus enjoyed a pie and liquor at the Bermondsey M Manzes on Tower Bridge Road. That one is their oldest surviving eel and pie shop in London (1892) and stone me they're very reasonably priced aren't they? So glad we visited and would definitely recommend to anyone visiting London! We'll be going back for sure :)
The first I ever heard of Peckham (in Australia) was Alexei Sayle''s 'Ullo John! Gotta New Motor?': 'Is there life on Mars? (x2), Is there life in Peckham? (x2)' I didn't understand it at first, but now I think it's a Northerner's view of London.
I house sat for a year in blenheim grove around 2005. Back then it was still fairly middle class but as soon as you turned onto peckham rye and the high street it got pretty flippin' edgy!!
A brilliant video as always. Although the pie you ate in the pie & mash shop looked like the pastry needed a bit longer but perhaps that’s just my preference. Thank you again for being a guest on Episode 21 of our ‘Eddie’s Launchpad’ schools podcast, Joolz. 👍
Love your tours. My son in the USAF spent 5 years in England and as a voracious reader, some of my favorite authors are British, especially Anne Perry!
Another great Vlog👍! A trip to London would be worth it just to take a tour with you, see the sites, learn some history, learn some facts, and hear some things that may not be facts but should be! lol! A tour with Joolz is definitely a bucket 🪣 list item!
Love your visits south of the river, partly because I was brought up in Forest Hill and got a grant from the LCC to go to Alleyn’s in East Dulwich. I notice a few snarky remarks from people complaining about graffiti as if it’s a bad thing, when actually it’s part of the life and vitality of the area. They don’t know how lucky they are to live in London. Peckham looks absolutely bloody lovely to me now, from the other side of the world in New Zealand. If I ever win the Lotto I’ll be back in Sarf London like a shot.
Hi Joolz, I love the way you find beauty and historical gems hidden in what appear to be rather neglected area’s. Certainly most of the gems that you highlight have not been harnessed, packaged, or presented as such, as they certainly would be if they were on the tourist map. Could you do a similar video featuring Clapham Junction?
Really well done loved to see all those local independent businesses. But I can't believe you walked past The White Horse Pub, with narrow a word. The Forge was fantastic 👏🏾
I thoroughly enjoyed this video it was most interesting and kept me glued to my screen, I love how you use old and vintage photos to show what places were like and how places have changed over time. Thanks and to you and Simon and of course Little Lost Lou 😊
Have been hoping for ages that you would do a really interesting walk around Blackheath Village and the Heath itself that is loaded with history. 70 years since I lived there but still have vivid memories.
My old manner! I grew up on bellenden road, 221 bellenden road, peckham SE15 4DG late 60s up until 2000s i love peckham.😂😂😂 very interesting video! Impressive.👊🏿💯✨️🙏🏿✨️
Joolz's videos remain the most entertaining way to get to know London. The humour alone is worth the watch, but we also get a bonus of indepth info. And he seems like quite a lovely guy to have a pint with too. Will definately look him up when I get to London later this year.
Always superb but I think this one you have nailed it with this vlog! Including local characters and really nice people makes it so fun to watch... yep a film not just a vlog... well done you
I've lived in London for almost 10 years now and still never got myself down to Peckham. But this is possibly my favourite video of yours, so I'll have to make a journey down there some time soon! Wonderful production once again. Best wishes to you, Simon, Lou and everyone else in the Joolz Guides cinematic universe.
Another great video Jools (and Simon). I never envisaged Peckham looking like that with the Affleck buildings and big green spaces, I especially love the blacksmiths etc funded the arches. Great stuff guys.
I hope these tours of London never stop.I thoroughly enjoy watching them after a long week.Your wit and banter with the crew makes me smile and chuckle.😊
That was really good. I used to work in Peckham many years ago and thought I knew a lot about the place. Clearly I didn't because I learned a lot. Many thanks. And cheers!
Thank you Jools, I really enjoyed this. I was brought up in West London (Hammersmith) and only really knew that part of London other than the Central. I went to work in Peckham when I was about 18 in 1980/81 and it was very different back then, with many problems but a close community. I remember that Sainsbury's, it was beautiful, but I didn't appreciate things like that then. I certainly didn't notice all that fantastic Art Deco architecture which I love now! What a lovely surprise to see it now!

my mum used to speak of all what you spoke of, i always loved it
I used to go past and live in places you have covered and I had no idea of most of the history and stories of the places. Thanks very much
Very good. Thanks for upload.
Another great Vlog👍! A trip to London would be worth it just to take a tour with you, see the sites, learn some history, learn some facts, and hear some things that may not be facts but should be! lol! A tour with Joolz is definitely a bucket 🪣 list item!
Love your visits south of the river, partly because I was brought up in Forest Hill and got a grant from the LCC to go to Alleyn’s in East Dulwich.
I notice a few snarky remarks from people complaining about graffiti as if it’s a bad thing, when actually it’s part of the life and vitality of the area. They don’t know how lucky they are to live in London. Peckham looks absolutely bloody lovely to me now, from the other side of the world in New Zealand. If I ever win the Lotto I’ll be back in Sarf London like a shot.
Hi Joolz, I love the way you find beauty and historical gems hidden in what appear to be rather neglected area’s. Certainly most of the gems that you highlight have not been harnessed, packaged, or presented as such, as they certainly would be if they were on the tourist map. Could you do a similar video featuring Clapham Junction?
Really well done loved to see all those local independent businesses. But I can't believe you walked past The White Horse Pub, with narrow a word. The Forge was fantastic 👏🏾
Throughly, educational, entertaining, and enjoyable. Many thanks 😊.
Thanks for the great video. You can make anywhere interesting and bring its history to life. I love when you visit the local businesses and residents.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video it was most interesting and kept me glued to my screen, I love how you use old and vintage photos to show what places were like and how places have changed over time. Thanks and to you and Simon and of course Little Lost Lou 😊
Great video Joolz and I live right by the beach that has Anthony Gormleys another place
Great video Joolz, the Sweeney is the greatest TV show of all time! Very best wishes.
The exterior of what was used as Neslon Mandela house in Only Fools, was fimed in Bristol. Great video again Joolz. 🙌
Cracking video!! Well research and presented as always.
thanks.......great hidden finds for us today
Enjoyed watching your new video Joolz! Nice to see that you featured local businesses around South London. Cheers!
Have been hoping for ages that you would do a really interesting walk around Blackheath Village and the Heath itself that is loaded with history. 70 years since I lived there but still have vivid memories.
My old manner! I grew up on bellenden road, 221 bellenden road, peckham SE15 4DG late 60s up until 2000s i love peckham.😂😂😂 very interesting video! Impressive.👊🏿💯✨️🙏🏿✨️
I'm a vegan, UK expat. I'll be in London for two weeks in June and shall definitely visit the Omni Collective whilst I'm in the UK.
Joolz's videos remain the most entertaining way to get to know London. The humour alone is worth the watch, but we also get a bonus of indepth info. And he seems like quite a lovely guy to have a pint with too. Will definately look him up when I get to London later this year.
Always superb but I think this one you have nailed it with this vlog! Including local characters and really nice people makes it so fun to watch... yep a film not just a vlog... well done you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great and informative walk, thanks Jules
I cannot still believe you havn't been given your own TV show you are unique love your videos never stop
I've lived in London for almost 10 years now and still never got myself down to Peckham. But this is possibly my favourite video of yours, so I'll have to make a journey down there some time soon! Wonderful production once again. Best wishes to you, Simon, Lou and everyone else in the Joolz Guides cinematic universe.
Another great video Jools (and Simon). I never envisaged Peckham looking like that with the Affleck buildings and big green spaces, I especially love the blacksmiths etc funded the arches. Great stuff guys.
Our pleasure!
Great stuff Joolz, your films deserve a tv series.
I hope these tours of London never stop.I thoroughly enjoy watching them after a long week.Your wit and banter with the crew makes me smile and chuckle.😊
Nice tour of Peckham. My nan had a pie and mash shop in rathbone market Canning Town olleys pie and mash I'm her grandson I I now live in Somerset
That was really good. I used to work in Peckham many years ago and thought I knew a lot about the place. Clearly I didn't because I learned a lot. Many thanks. And cheers!
Brilliant Tour Joolz, we always enjoy them, you are so knowledgeable, always something new to see, hear about in London. Thank you so much.
Thank you Jools, I really enjoyed this. I was brought up in West London (Hammersmith) and only really knew that part of London other than the Central. I went to work in Peckham when I was about 18 in 1980/81 and it was very different back then, with many problems but a close community. I remember that Sainsbury's, it was beautiful, but I didn't appreciate things like that then. I certainly didn't notice all that fantastic Art Deco architecture which I love now! What a lovely surprise to see it now!
Thanks. Would have been great to see it in its heyday!
The area is much safer Mike as it has been gentrified and some of The "Five Estates" have been replaced by smaller, modern buildings, my friend.
Nice one again Jules! One of the best TH-camrs out there imo 👍
Still gritty, Peckham Rye. How long will it stay that way?
At least its a bit safer now. In the 80s there were estates even the police or postman wouldnt go to
Girdler's Cottages - absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for taking us along on another interesting tour.
