- London in the snow - Coldest March on record.
London is a city of change and contrast and resilience against foreign invaders.
Londoner’s are a welcoming people but this Spring one uninvited guest presumed to test their resolve.
Snow.
Piccadilly Circus, the stone village green of London, take your girl out to buy a handbag or an enormous limousine you start from here
Pussycat pussycat where have you been, I’ve been to London to see the queen.
Sentries present arms and visitors present cameras
But it’s too cold for her majesty to go out to day, the royal ensign indicates that the queen is at home.
Monuments and stone heroes, like Nelson, museums and galleries, and tall erections, buildings at the heart of a nation get the thumbs up from us.
Ships, towers, domes theatres and temples lie
Open onto the fields and to the sky
The Duke of Wellington unflustered by the snow on his private parts. That’s why they called him the iron duke.
The ancient river, ever changing running like a noble theme through London, past the houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey. Even Big Ben is wearing his overcoat as Churchill looks on, helpless this time against the beast from the east as this weather is being called, but Ghandi resolute as ever who so often ruffled the feathers of Parliament.
Now is the winter of our discontent, as Shakespeare’s globe is covered in snow and peanut sellers keep warm over their barrows, which is more than can be said for this girl.
On the majestic steps of st pauls, Londoners have an hour for lunch and can relieve themselves in one of the many public lavatories provided, as the snow Queen Anne, who united England and Scotland looks on beneath the proud domes sailing in the sky
But kids…if you see a yellow snowman, don’t play with it!
The river once wide and marshy is disciplined by the stone embankment.
The river Thames reflects the brooding centuries of history and the bright swirl of today,
The excitements and pleasures of a great capital.

Fun London Guides - Julian McDonnell Films I am a kid and I love your videos
Loved the commentary during this video, you had me laughing. 😁
...i...ostolea...samson...wll...i...bap...london...
...ale...oimona
...neo...u....home....london...
This guy is unreal. Binge watching all his videos. Very interesting, and full of fun facts. I love travel videos and he may be the best . Rick Steves is good too
Good God a tumbler full of sherry.! Make sure you don’t lose your footing on the way home Joolz. I have to let you know I’ve become addicted to your videos, keep them coming.
Russell Hogben So good to hear I’m not the only Joolz Guides addict.
Oh, thanks folks. That's lovely to hear. Yes, indeed...the sherry was crazily large! But I did need it!!!
Looks good to me, though Id usually go for a port
@@annother3350 Ditto!
Hilarious newsreel bits. I loved this one. I wish somebody would fund a series of you covering the city in-depth. This is the best made content on this kind of topic I have found.
And the Oscar goes to .... Joolz Guides for “London in the snow - Coldest March Day Ever.”
...and I wasn't even nominated. Maybe I missed the deadline.
Really accurate old fashioned RP accent there Joolz esp the word ensign.
You are, hands down, the very best video travel series on the web in regards to my very, very favorite city on earth, London! Please keep making these amazing videos.
Terence who says howdy from Dallas
I love the snow ⛄❄😆
Thank you for another great video, Julian! I love the quirky newsreel interjections. Too funny! Beautiful scenes of London in snow.
I love those old newsreels.
Lindybeige!! Great job Jules! I'm such a romantic that I must see London in snow like this at some point in person!
I love that your videos always finish with lovely pint of beer or wine :)
Thanks Rosie. How are you? You should join me for one when (and if) you come back to London. Are you still in Melbourne?
Gem of a Video ............showing proper British winters ...............London looks fantastic wit snow....................Well Done Jules
These are always so interesting,I dont know how he remembers so many facts!!! Its amazing
I have two brains!
People are friendlier in the snow and very willing to help each other. It was amusing to see everyone out and about off of school but I'm from Canada and normally it's business as usual in worse conditions. The bar looked nice and cozy and I liked the newsreel commentary. If I were ever to come to London I'd want you to show me around. Great job!
This is one of my favorite episodes! You are awesome!
Thanks Kathy, that's very kind of you. Do you like London? Ever visited?
Those are gems of witty, comic newsreel sendups. Your voice even had me fooled at first. I hope you've shopped them around to all the appropriate channels. Or are there even any appropriate channels for this kind of genius? Dunno.
You are simply AMAZING :)
And you are too kind, Sir.
Brilliant, very entertaining, love all the historic facts, simply the best, keep up the great work
6 minutes and change of smiles delivered! Perhaps that beverage at the end might make Steve Perry wistful..? Oh Sherrie!
I don't know that song...but I shall look him up!
London is quite beautiful in snow!
Splendid video as always Joolz! Hello again from Orange County 😃
Love your videos and knowledge of obscure historical information. Can’t wait to visit.
See you when you come!!!!
I remember the winter of 1974 when I was just a boy we would slide down the walkway in our old shoes that were worn down so as to have smooth soles lol. It was like ice skating in shoes lol. We played all day even though we were numb from the cold lol. Thank you for bringing back fond memories of my youth oh so long ago
Just stumbled upon your channel. Wow what a discovery ...Excellent ! Very entertaining ! Thank you
Nice touch with the ad written in snow, fantastic! Enjoying your videos in Chicago!!
That was awesome! Thank you for existing.
Oh thanks. I suppose one should thank my mum for that.... but I probably only complained about it when I was a teenager.
Funny vid,, ESP.. the newsreel bits! Your 'Jools black silhouette" POPS as it should, against the white snow. Txs for making me stay up past my bedtime again chief!
Great again Joolz
Cheers me up every time 😎👍
I hope you do a similar video for Christmas. The Snow, lights, Piccadilly....... HARRODS!
03:36...I lived in London near Croydon [actually Sutton] for all up about 12 years, but after twisting my knee, I came to loath the black ice that would turn a rough path into a skating rink... and now I live in Croydon, Victoria, and no black ice!
Make a video in Kensington about all the museums :) otherwise, great video!
They'd probably chuck me out for filming in there. I could try I guess.
Great video, again. I remember being in London in early 1986, what was called the "big freeze". A little snow and a few points below zero. People died, the trains couldnt drive. Brits are funny that way. Coming from Scandinavia it really is no big deal.
Noen briter fryser ihjel når det blir minusgrader. De mangler varmekilder i husene sine.
Det er simpelthen tragisk !
To be fair it only snows maybe once a year on average, lightly. People just don't know what to do with it. '86 was the Chernobyl effect I think, weather was poor all year, you probably had the same in Scandinavia then. I was an amateur racing cyclist and every race was cold and wet that summer it seemed.
That was fun. Thank you!
Cheers Danial. Not that fun to make but good to watch!!
YOU'RE A VERY WONDERFUL PERSON... MAY U HAVE A RESTFUL DAY &, GOOD FORTUNE 2U 💂♀️🇬🇧🎩🏰👨🏫🇬🇧💂♂️👍
Thank you. I love those emojis.
It’s going to snow this weekend so this pops up on my feed😂
Oh I love the snow it’s the only good thing about our grey miserable London winters!
Nice one Joolzy ! A frosty topper !
The cold reached my special place!
I'm stuck here in the arse end of nowhere but enjoy watching your videos so much! You do make me laugh!! Yellow snowman ha ha ha.
Oh dear....I've been to Nowhere but never its arse end!!
Hey Joolsie! Really Love This One! That's How It Is When It Snows In Baton Rouge, La here...They Throw Sand On The Bridges And Everyone Goes Home....Great Job! Love The Throw-Back Voice Over! Much Love And Respect! Cheers!
Wow you get snow down there?
The snow is almost 'deadly' in this country😂, even if it is half an inch thick
Yes. The people of Moscow, in an average year, would have to stop everything for most of the time from November to March if they thought like that.
Lmao
Excellent video, favourite channel on TH-cam. Deserve a lot more recognition.
Thanks Harry. That's what I say!! Oh well....maybe one day.
Fun London Guides - Julian McDonnell Films keep it up mate, you’re a natural.
I go to London every year in December for Christmas, but it NEVER snows! I would love to spend time in London under a snow
That's a massive glass of sherry ...I've watched this video in Zakynthos Greece in the bright warm sunshine which was around 20c, I even got a little tan, However I did enjoy seeing London in the snow and felt cozy. Keep up the Great Work Joolz.
I was surprised by its size too!
WOW!!! A W E S O M E ! ! ! London in the snow!!! I wish I was there to see it! Thanks Joolz for another great video. I might have to see you for a pint when I'm in town in August. :-)
Good idea!
Brilliant. Really enjoyed that.
Thanks. I really did freeze. That wind!!!
This video was perfection! Always exciting to see another Joolz production.
Thanks Mister Hardy. It was a bit rushed. I'm glad you liked it.
It's actually Mrs. Hardy but I'll answer to anything!😉
Oops! My mistake. I suppose I had Thomas Hardy in my head and falsely assumed.. As they say, to assume makes an "ass" out of "u' and "me".
To short to short...."please sir, I want more." Well done the Pathe news style...and showing the phone boxes when referring to potty breaks. Cute.
I knew you'd notice.🙂
Great vid as always. Noticed you walking backwards a few times and whilst talking! I slipped three times. Kids, stay away from yellow snow.
Hi Mohima, how are you doing? Yes, I almost sent my 85 year old mother flying arse over tit whilst supposedly offering her my arm to steady her!!
Just when my eyes were glazing over and boardom sought to coax drool down my chin; Joolz to the rescue with yet another brilliant ( if not chilling) video of my favorite city in the world. Now fortified, revived from tedium, I am well prepared to bungle on once again! I raise my glass to you sir.
That is very kind of you. I would hate to be boring.
Waahhh ! That was a great big glass of sherry. I follow you from sherry land in Jerez southern Spain. We usually have it in a small catavino which is a special cup for the occasion. No more than two or three otherwise it goes up your head and next morning you have a hangover... But I specially like you having the worldwide known wine produced in my homeland.
Even the snow couldn't keep a good man down! Nice job, my friend.
Takes more than a freezing cold day to keep me at home!!
Well done!!
Gorgeous.
OMG. beautiful
Thats what you call a glass of sherry!
Very enjoyable videos here!
Looks beautiful. This is Ontario Canada on any given day between December and April pretty much. Thanks for the video..cheers!!
I have relatives in Cambridge Ontario. I prefer your climate i.e. cold winters and hot summers. Our weather is usually dull, mild and boring.
Cambridge is a really nice town. I'm about 2 hours east of there. Yes we have really warm summers, I would have to say the sun shines way more often than overcast and rain here.
Thanks Lisa. When I was in Toronto the snow put us to shame and the place functioned perfectly. We just can't handle it over here.
I love how you can walk from one area into a completely different one so easily
I can’t wait to be there, hopefully with a bit less snow and ice! End of this month, will be exploring your city!
Yip...it's already all cleared up as we speak.
I lived in London for many years and I can say you are very good people would do well to book a tour with you.
Thanks
Tony...West Hills, California USA
Cheers Tony!
Luv it... London looks so wintry. Of all my trips to London incl in winter months I have not experience any snow there. This makes me so excited to see it.,
Sadly it's pretty rare. I'm glad I filmed it now.
Another cool video
Thanks for showing St. Michael’s Alley. My Great-Great-Grandfather (an engraver) had offices in the alley and on Cornhill from 1840 through 1877, and it’s somewhere I’ve always wanted to visit - snow or otherwise!
Oh wow! Maybe he had a pint with Dickens. He must have seen him!
I never knew he was called the Iron Duke because of that snow covering! 😎
LOVE THIS VIDEO
it's funny when the commentator announced "the public can relieve themselves at the many public lavatories provided" and then focused on the public telephone booths. LOL.
Loved it
We were there on our Spring Break during this....it was freaking crazy!! My husband and I had been there several times, but it was our 3 kids’ first time. I felt bad because there was so much we couldn’t do because of the weather and a lot of the touristy things were actually closed. Totally unexpected and so some of our vacation $$ was spent on buying warmer clothes.
I love your Slytherin scarf 😍
I can't always comment bc i watch mostly on roku, but I got on my phone to shout out at you. Lovely job on the videos👍
Cheers! What's Roku?

It's a thing? Program something, that let's me connect my TV to the internet and watch TH-cam without a laptop. If I want the description, I go on my phone.
Interesting to note is that the Frost Fairs only occurred within a window of a couple of decades during a period known as the Maunder Minimum. This was a period where solar activity tanked and northern Europe copped some severe winters as a result!
I can virtually visit London every other day with Joolz Guides...Keep up the good work. I will be really obliged if you could arrange for a walk of the prestigious universities of London and reveal the associated histories, please. Thanks in advance 🙂🙂
This facinates me with the uk. Abit snow and chaos and anarchy. But you are rigth. was -18 here the other day. Had to go to work anyway. Love from Norway :)
Oh dear. Yes, my friend lives in Tromso. That said, you do beat us in the Olympics!
Great video, lovely man, not embarrassed to speak properly. And eloquently.
Naff sherry glass, though. We have proper ones here in Frinton-On-Sea!
It was a ridiculous sized glass. I was quite amazed but frozen so I downed it!
What a trooper !
It certainly was a bit of a mission.
Ya, you guys really can't deal with the snow, here in Newfoundland we see meters of snow from the beginning of October and doesn't melt until late may. 1 inch and you guys go crazy. Really great video, I will be browsing other videos of yours.😃
Thanks Scott. Yes, the other videos are actually better. My documentary about Pitcairn won some awards! We are a bit useless with snow but then again, you always cane us in the Winter olympics!!!
beautiful london under the snow!
It becomes a different place altogether.
Lovely style as always. I liked the old news reel style (how do you do that?) and the quote from 'Composed Upon Westminster Bridge' one of my favourite poems. Thanks for braving the snowy elements and sharing. I've been tucking my camera into my jacket between clips. It's still Baltic out there!
I just added some effects to make it sound like it was coming out of an old TV. Yes, Wordsworth isn't it?
The very man!
I saw the weather forecast and rented a bed in a London Bridge hostel for two days, and had a great time being a tourist in the snow..went to the Riverside pub by the Golden Hinde, and that was quite a sight watching the snow over the Thames.
Oh...we must have just missed each other.
Watching in Dec 2020! lol
Merry Christmas to all!
HEY!.....check it out...good ole Camden Town and NW3!....my childhood stomping ground. Thanks for making this video. I wonder if that phone booth is still their at Primrose Hill and Adelaide I think....stupid question right? This video brought back some awesome memories. Plus that footage of the park, I think that was Primrose Park or Regents....anyway thats where we all ended up at the slightest amount ice or snow, with anything that had a slippery bottom to carry you down that hill.......in lieu of a tobaggon, LOL!
The phone box of which you speak is pretty vandalised and abandoned but it's shell is still there!!
your very kind for answering.....I even forgot they're called phone boxes.......last memory I had to share was playing conkers.....and looking for new ones around the area..........conkers on a shoe string and toffo.. HAHA...typical inventory of a every british boy's shorts pocket.......LOL!
Just watched as per usual quite entertaining. P.S just got into work driving past snow drifts about 6ft high either side of the rd. 😵
Thanks. Stay warm!!! I wouldn't want to drive in that.
Loves from Turkey.Verry nice 👍😍😍😍
Hi. I'm afraid I didn't have time to make a really good Istanbul video but I'll be back hopefully!
Wonderful re-use of the audio!
Thats a bloody large sherry!
I'm sure the years of the Frost Fairs probably coincided with the years of the Little Ice Age.
Joolz do a east London Krays tour.
Good idea. I need to learn a bit about them first. Maybe I should just watch the movie.
Used to frequent Gordon's Wine Bar for a few years, great choice.....
Best video by far. As a westerner/ Stoner i love watching uk tv /youtube programs before bed while smoking. I love all cultures and have always been fascinated with everything London especially the holidays. Great video will definitely rewatch again soon. Will you be doing Christmas videos this year? Only 165 days 19 hrs 39 mins left till Christmas.
Hopefully...I have a quite a lot of videos so plenty for you to watch whilst smoking!
-30 C means no school in Estonia? That doesn't happen in Sweden.The coldest I've been out in was -45 C, a bit nippy...
Super Joolzy. My favorite so far.
Amazing video ones again
Cheers!
Were i am in Canada,on the west coast in Vancouver BC. It is the same way here when you get a little bit of snow on the ground lol
Keep them coming very useful guides. Plans for Russell square any time soon ?.
Hmm....not really, although I do go past there in one of my films called Famous London Homes. Only briefly though but I still like that film.
Snow on the private parts, lol!
Snow brings everything to a stop
Colony dweller, Massachusetts here. Anything less than 6" of snow is business as usual. 6-12" slight delay. Anything over 1' and we start canceling stuff.
On the other hand down south, anything Virginia on down, it is just like London in response to a slight dusting.
Beautiful and rare
Cheers joolz another beautiful video. I hope you didn't freeze your bollocks off making it. The sun will come out tomorrow!
Actually I did!!! But I'm glad people are liking it.
‘One Of The Many Public Lavatories Provided’.. ;-)
Luv these vids
I was out there in that snow, quite lovely really, especially around St. Russell's Sq.
Amazing how quickly it disappeared.
