The ancient village of Hackney has changed a lot since I was young, let alone in the last thousand years.
We take a walk from Hackney Central around the back streets and down to Broadway Market near London Fields where we also visit one of London's weirdest museums. Viktor Wynde's Museum of Curiosity is a treasure trove of weird and wonderful items which will freak you out.
Hackney Empire which has played host to many musical and comedy stars since 1901 including Marie Lloyd and Stand Laurel.
The churchyard with many fancy tombs and interesting people buried there.
Then there's the fabulous Umit & Son film shop where you can find many old classic cameras and even a cinema.
There's a Tudor house, Sutton House, the oldest in Hackney, a round church, the Burberry outlet store and more stink pipes and other random little discoveries.

Very nice to see you again of a Sunday morning! Thanks for the tour!
oh my sister lives on Hackney
Bought your book! You are a most excellent tour guide. (I had to comment on, ‘Anne Boleyn’d’ve gone better to stick with Henry Percy,’. Elizabeth I and England, though…?) 😅
@Joolzguides Here’s an interesting fact (I think). The James Hoyle and son web site has a PDF catalog and does indeed cast cole holes (page 79). You can own your very own cole hole.
Actually, these are videos. But that's OK. Everyone misuses the term, so I suppose it is what it is.
I was born in the Salvation Army Women's home in Hackney. My brother stayed in East End his whole life, died last year. We lived in Maynell Road from 1920's to 1960's as a whole family. Grand parents, parents and us kids. My family were Costamongers and Artisans, furniture makers back to 17th Centuary.
Interesting fact: That Burberry outlet store is there because that building is the old Burberry factory. They made trenches there from 1950’s-90’s (and now it’s luxury flats and retail. Classic.)
I was born in hackney in 1961. But didn't live there. So extremely interesting. I was bought up in the shires. Bedfordshire. Not far from St Alban's. Also a very interesting video by yourself. I do hope Simon was successful in selling his paintings?
I was born in hackney a war time baby . Live in Essex now . Lived in Welshpool Street off the Broadway London fields and bombed out houses was my play ground. So many memories .
It's always going to be a good Sunday, when it starts with Joolz.
Ooh, a new intro animation! Sundays are always better with a guided tour with Joolz and Co!
You have a great brand Joolz. Never mind TV (mainstream media), your brand is a strong one, so ignore negative people and know you are supported by tons of people. This video is excellent and informing. I have your excellent book. Well done.
There are negative comments?
Those must be pretty miserable people, jeez.
Thoroughly enjoyable Joolz, you stand head and shoulders above the crowd.🙏🙏👵🇦🇺👍👍👍👍
Literally. I’m 6’6” 😂
Well then, that answers that. 👍👵🇦🇺
Another enjoyable excursion around an area that I knew as a youngster, as my father's family lived in Bocking Street, London Fields - off Sheep Lane - and a short walk from the Cat & Mutton. My mother's parents had a tobacconists shop in Westgate Street, that backed onto my father's house - which may have helped their romance. The shop was opposite the Havelock pub, which I didn't realise had an 'H' at the start of its name until years later. My brother was four years older than me, and had bronchitis as a baby, so my father's doctor advised him to move away from the area and the ever-present overpowering smells from the nearby soap factory. 'They are building new houses in the country at Edmonton' he said, which was where my dad bought a house, and where I was born. Buying a house was a rare move for an East End lad in the late 1930's, and most of the - many - relatives thought he was getting a millstone around his neck. He did well, however, rising from box boy to the directorship of the Forbes Stuart company in Billingsgate fish market, so never regretted his decision - despite for years having to get up at four a.m. to get the trolleybus to work. We would often visit our family, and I remember going to the pie and eel shop in the Broadway, and being fascinated by the green gravy (made with Parsely I think) they served with their pies. As a teenager I sometimes went to Billingsgate on a Saturday morning, where I took the money for the fish purchased during the week by deals based just on the shake of a hand, and where I discovered that paper notes used in Billingsgate had their own very distinctive and pungent smell!. I also paid the porters their 'bobbin' for carrying the fish boxes in and out of the market on top of their large leather hats. On the way home, we would pop into the Havelock, and within about ten minutes the pub would fill with the Johnsons, as the local bush telegraph resounded with 'Alf's here!'. Thanks for triggering the memories!
@donjohnson24
Thank you for the trip down memory lane!😀
Your dad knew a brand spanking new 1930s house was a priority move for the health of his family and did what he had to do!
Do you know whatever became of the soap factory? Demolished or converted?
Did you enjoy avin yer drinks in the Avalock on the the way Ome?
When I was a kid I used to be fascinated by the eels squiggling around in the pie and mash shop.
Wow..interesting story
The box on the side of the post box is for the next bag in a postman/woman's walk. They start their "walk" (not "round") with one full bag and the driver will drop the second bag in one of those boxes
Well,,hello, great to see you back. You’ve been missed. I’ll look forward to this now. 🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
Your latest perambulation was a nostalgic one for me, as my first job back in the 60s found me working next to the town hall, in a building now replaced by the library and museum. In fact, we used the staff restaurant in the basement of the town hall for lunch. Twiggy has a connection to Mare Street, and she visited during a Who Do You Think You Are tv episode which traced her family history. Well worth watching if you can track it down.
My late father, film producer Roy Baird , tried to make a film about Marie Lloyd, who was also known to have tipped the police off about Dr Hawley Crippen. Lloyd was probably the first ever British Pop star!
Crippen was innocent.
@@adamfrankowski2768 So it's often been said. Poor bloke just wanted to clear off with his lover Ethel.
I lived on Clapton Square. I left Hackney 45 years ago, and really enjoyed this video.
As a Greek in love with London and everything english, I thank you soooo much for your witty personality, your humor, your knowledge and your style 🌸You are one of a kind ❣️
He truly is.
Thanks for giving tribute to the “Pooh-man”; makes me appreciate the jobs I’ve had in my lifetime😂
Classic Joolz to visit Beaufort's tomb on a windy day. It's the little things that make these walks so fun.
Love your walks Joolz. I used to live in London b4 the working class was removed by corrupt politics and insane inflation. Try Ham across river from Chiswick. Also, Petersham a little past Richmond, is a splendid little treasure.
The flag had a red and white eight pointed Maltese cross in the center of the shield. Very likely the tower you pointed out was built by the knights of Malta.
My God, that Museum of Curiosities is seriously macabre. I would be having nightmares for weeks after a visit to it. I remember as a child we had a mummified, Egyptian hand in a glass case in our home and it really gave me the heebie-jeebies. My mother eventually buried it next to the local cemetery. I think it came down to her from a great, great uncle who was an Egyptologist.
Brilliant Joolz. One-of your best. I had no idea Hackney was so interesting.
And that’s only a small part of Hackney! There is a lot of interesting history, buildings and places in Hackney.
Joolz! Perfect start to a Sunday and me sitting here with a steaming Joolz mug of coffee. Thank you. Wonderful walk and great editing.
Thankyou for showing England is not completely stuffed,still some lovely places,also I love all the history that you point out things an places people would not know about,
I was born in Lower Clapton Road many, many years ago and lived in Hackney for 30 years. Great video Joolz brought back many memories.
Seal, lived in Sutton house when it was a squat. I went in there for an after pub party. It was a bit spooky but nice people
I was born in Hackney and have so many ancestors who lived there. It was lovely to see places they would have known.
⭐️🎩Bear in mind, that new Joolz Guides intro is one of a kind!💫👞👞
My family are all from Hackney but most mainly died out now. I lived there myself through the late 90s to mid 2000s Amhurst Rd and later in Dalston. I cannot believe how much it has been gentrfied. Not always a good thing.
Pip Pip Tally-Ho… such a brilliant catchphrase Joolz.❤
[also the singer sounds like/reminds me of Linda Smith on ISIHAC]😂🎉
Enjoy hearing the great English language of yester year 😊 very jolly & uplifting 😊 keep it alive by keeping & saying these little quotes .
Love Joolz natural man with character of life . 😊
Fascinating, as ever. Thank you, Joolz and Simon. You always entertain - your sister, too, of course.
Your sister's songs are great. Hope she performs in some London theatres..
I live in the area, thanks for some fascinating facts I didn't know
Hackney/Clapton/Dalston - we used to lock the car doors when we drove through in the 70's/80's! My dad's friend bought a big arse house there and from the 80's until he died, every week developers were begging him to sell. He used to move to one room, then after a few months get fed up and move to another. It was over three stories and he bought it for a song in the 60's - at least 8 rooms. He said he didn't want to sell it, his daughter and grandson could decided when he died. Places like this, were full of Windrush and other people, renting rooms, with a cooker for each room on the landing - they'd pay top dollar for that dirty little room then. When they had money to buy them, they didn't want to know, except Uncle Gerald who loved the area.
The old Metropolitan Electric Board building at Wood Green is now very nice boutique Hotel with bar and restaurant; I remember paying bills there with my mum when I was smaller..
Fabulous video I was born in hackney thank you so much brings it all back Paul
I was brought up at the Marsh end Hackney Wick Berkshire Road
A perfectly *Hackneyed* video if there ever was one, Joolz! You are the cornerstone of a round church.
Caught your "Pitcairn" cameo in the cinema. A cheeky bit of production wizardry!
Stayed in the Hackney Academy apartments in 99 2000; working in Jury's GT Russell Street and Clifton ford hotel near Harley Street,,also on Hackney Road is London charter off the Hells Angels,,☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland another smashing video the former cinema at the end of the street and a petting zoo up the road,,fond memories,,😊
Always great to start the day with a Joolz Guides video.
Another most interesting video of another most interesting part of London, Joolz. I never knew that there would be so many fabulous buildings like there are in this district. It's good to see that the Empire has reverted back to a theatre again. The Umit shop is most unique, with all the old films, that old projector and the mini cinema at the rear. 35 minutes of a treat of a film, and thank you for showing, with the period type of music and singing which accompanies many of your films. All the best.
I enjoyed the walk around hackney. Many memories I left in 1964 spent many hours in hackney baths
Lol. Thats where learned how to swim.
Used to live on Graham Rd back in 1998. Oh, memories! Thanking you both!
Thanks Joolz and Simon x
Wow -- the film shop was amazing!
James Hoyle (beehive Foundry) are still in business making, among many other things, coal hole covers. I suspect they have a thriving business supplying people who are renovating older homes and need thing like that or cast iron railings and lots of other stuff. They will even do reproductions if you have a sample.
Love you Joolz! Great new video❤
Ahh, memories, used to go swimming in the 90s as Ackney Baths the bus journey from Islington was lets say very colourful & sometimes very dangerous as it was full of junkies early in the morning 😅
Number 1 Broadway Market used to be the home of JTS Jah Tubbies Studio, where for about £30, you could get a test press (DUBPLATE) of a vinyl recording.
I was born in Hackney but didn't live there. However, my grandparents did, and I also spent a lot of time there during my teenage years attending Chats Place.
I'm glad you got around to doing Hackney
Keep them coming Joolz
Very entertaining as always.
Another great video tour. The detailed information you pack into these and your Rather Splendid London Walks book is remarkable.
Yes another guide, perfect for a Sunday viewing, just wish they didn’t end , I learn so much , ❤
Enjoy your videos soooo much! Give this man his own TV show finally !!
Hackney . Great historic history.
Another absolutely splendid walk! So interesting and fun. Much thanks Julian and Simon! Cheers xo
I knew I was in for a Great day when Joolz posted a new video. Thanks for always making my day!!! Keep up the brilliant work.
love these !! well done !!
A saunter with Joolz and co...how nice!
This was loads of fun, and the walk didn't tire me at all! Thank you for sharing with a "yank" :)
Great new video Joolz. Kind of miss Carradine's Cockney Sing Along as the musical backdrop for many of your vids. This new song and artist is definitely a great addition. Thanks for this lovely splendid walk through East London. You made the day all the more wonderful.
Thank you for the video, mate. I’ve really enjoyed it.
Fantastic viewing as always Joolz your knowledge is incredible, thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this.
A beautiful Sunday just made even more beautiful with the drop of a new lovely Joolzy! Thanks Julian, your videos always cheer me up. I hope one day I will get you meet you and buy you a beer at the pub. Cheers from the Netherlands.
Many thanks!
Thanks Jools another top video, been the the Round Chapel several times for the Pig's Ear Beer Festival.
Woohoo Diddly Dooo!! Another great video Joolz, nice one.
LOVE LOVE LOVE British Music Hall. Big Up Kate Garner. What, no Blue Plaque for Marc Bolan's Childhood Home? Born and Raised in Hackney, Actually.
I think he did an earlier vid that covered Stoke Newington where he points out Marc Bolans childhood home on the edge of Stokey commons.
The godfather of Glam was not forgotten.
I really appreciate you for the tour, very nice❤
Perfect video for Sunday lunch
Hello Joolz, thank you for sharing. I eagerly anticipate your new episodes every Sunday. Living in Canada, a part of my Sunday ritual is enjoying Joolz Guides with a cup of tea and toast.
A REALLY GREAT VIDIO AGAIN JOOLZ MATE !!
Had a lovely walk around Hackney when visiting England a few wks ago. My husband’s g grandfather was the town’s first town clerk. Thanks for this video.🇨🇦
This was a gem!!! Great tour, especially all these little detail about various odd features we all have seen not knowing what they were )) Enjoyed it slowly as a glass of good wine )). I used to live in Hackney in the 90s-00s and only now understand what a great place that was. Thank you Joolz for giving us a chance to walk by all these places I used to see every day.
Thank you Jools a rather splendid video
so enjoyed this!!
Jools rocks he make London history more interesting
Thank you for introducing me to various aspects of London! British gentleman!!
Fantastic brickwork (English Bond) with all the correct cement pointing so water drips off.
Lived there from early to late 2000s (my youth). Loved it. Has an edge but also great sense of community not found in suburbs
That old Gaumont projector reminded me of the 1957 film The Smallest Show on Earth. I thought such strange machines were just amusing film props.
Oh Joolzy! Your vlogs never fail to entertain us. Hubby & i have a drinking game for any mentions of the 'luftwaffe'! We are always entertained! Greetings from Canada!!
Cool Joolz! Missed you. Good to see you back showing us parts of London we'll never get to see in person. Hi from the USA...
Enjoyed today's video very much. My favorite part was the section on Umit and Son,
Cheers Simon and Joolz....Best nugget.
Another excellent production, Joolz! Love the new intro logo.
Hackney is very beautiful. I was there last year - thank you for the information about this nice place!
This is the only channel , I thumps up before I have even seen its latest offering.........
Just been visiting Hackney my son lives there he took us to the curve garden just beautiful to see what can be achieved with some effort it’s a delightful space to visit for a coffee and see the flowers 🌺 so nice enjoy your wandering around London ❤
Always a great Sunday when I see there is a Joolz Guides vid waiting for me to sit, enjoy, and learn.
And, "WOW!" Hackney! 'my ol' manor'! I was born in Hackney and lived in Upper Clapton (not show here, but referred to..."The Murder Mile".
About Joolz age, and to know Hackney then, and to see it now.. Wow. What a difference. Tho so much looks the same, but now apparently 'near-luxury flats and coffee shops'... lol.
I would never have imagined good ol' Hackney would become so trendy and appealing as a place people want to live as it has now.
Nice one Joolz! I've been living in Hackney for 12 years and it's nice to see spots I know. Cheers!
Joolz, your videos are a great substitute to museum visits, which I have an aversion to
That curiosities shop is amazing! I must go! 😁
Thank you for your standing up for the Horse Guards horses that were involved in the incident the other day. The horses are very well looked after and are sent out to the countryside if they have been involved in upsetting moments for the horses.😊
Love your vids!
Many theatrical types from this part of London, Jools, especially from its cockney Jewish days. Two of them who spring to mind are Steven Berkoff and Harold Pinter. As a teenager, Pinter, so they say, was as meticulous with his Yiddish as he was with his English.
I’m so low brow that my favourite performance is Berkoff in Berverly Hills Cop!
Thank you Joolz and Simon for taking me to Hackney and the interesting tour, my Great Great Grandad rented out his basement flat to Bernie Dillon the jockey who married Marie Lloyd she used to visit him there in Pimlico in London ,
I enjoy your walks.
Quality video with a Quality beverage to finish off proceedings
Wow. Classy logo animation. Cool Joolz. Thanks for another entertaining and informational video.
Thanks. Simon did the logo. He’s very good!
Excellent.
Quality son , quality !
Great video!
My parents were married in Hackney Town Hall in 1953. Somewhere I have a photo of them on the steps of the place too.
