Westminster Abbey, Parliament, St James Park - Jolly Spiffing London Walk
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- In this jolly spiffing London walk Joolz shows you around the St James Park, Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament. There is the usual irreverent chat and banter with quips and anecdotes.
Learn all about the invention of champagne, the many fires that burnt down the Palace of Westminster and the pelicans in St James Park.
Joolz Guides is a fun, charming and informative way to see London. Hopefully you will discover lots of things you might have missed by just seeing the main tourist attractions in the area.

As a working class lad from Sheffield, the son of a Steelworker and the Grandson of a Miner. I joined the British Army at 16 years old as a way out of my locality. I’ve gained a decent education in electrical and electronic engineering and have been working on the railway game for the last 6 years. My most recent project has brought me to Battersea. However, I’m residing in Vauxhall, just opposite MI6 in view of the Houses of Parliament. I find your videos (this one in particular) fascinating as they’re on my running route. From my Army days, I’m deeply patriotic and love to learn about the great and varied history of our country, even though me and my family are directly affected by the “class” system. Long love the Queen and God Bless these great isles of ours 🇬🇧
I used to run from Islington to houses of parliament over the river, Southbank, tower bridge back up to the Angel.
Amen
That's the Spirit ! God Bless you Son.
Top man !!!!
A boring cold dark sunday evening in Sweden turned in to a nice stroll round London. Thanks Joolz.
Did you have a pint to finish the day? ;)
@@constancemiller3753 but of course. .
@@SgtMcNasty you have middle east immigrant problems, send them back , start a mutiny, make Sweden great again
Splendid! Robbing Peter to pay Paul... who knew! Once again thank you for a great walk.
We Froggies use quite the same expresion: "déshabiller (undress) Pierre pour habiller (dress) Paul".
My two cents ;)
I have an Ancestor buried in Westminster Abbey, his name was Nicholas Ham born 1573 in Berkshire. He was buried there in 1641 in the north cloister and he was described as a Singer of Songs..
How lovely...........
He was probably the Justin Bieber of his day, imagine.... 😂
@@michw3755 That's why they Buried him---alive.
Glad to see you well and healthy.
Thanks Sue...hanging in there. You too I hope!
Your not worried about covid, aka the flu. Are you Sue?
@@edglue6138 Really? It's Sunday, Ed. Why don't you take the day off from being an ignorant, and quite frankly, boring and unoriginal troll.
@@bradleynoneofyourbizz5341 troll?

There's a good chap
I look forward to every Sunday morning, wandering if one of your new videos will pop up
Don't we all. In lockdown many miss the outside world. Love to all mothers this weekend.
@@scottwallace901 why love to all the mothers out there?
@@prepperjonpnw6482 Because it is Mother's Day
@@prepperjonpnw6482 On the day I left the comment it was Mothers day in the U.K.
Another great performance by the wonderful Joolz. Not forgetting Simon of course. Where would we be without the extra words of wisdom from the cameraman !
Good Morning Julian glad to see you have a new TH-cam vlog for us all this Sunday morning hope your Mum and Family are keeping alright 😊
Thank you! You too! Off to see her now.
I have a Richard Croft in my Family tree---1706.
That was brilliant. Makes me want to get back to London badly !
Thanks!
Me too DougieS!! I love London and hopefully 2022!🤞
Spent 5 magnificent years there 2000 - 2006.....still have a hankering for the place in 2021!!!
@@Joolzguides Do a walking guide to Croydon! It is Londons' largest borough in terms of population. And has got loads of history.
Dougie, this is exactly how I feel. So much history.
Another great review of London Jools; you're the best narrator of the Capital's history by far!
Congratulations to you sir!
I can enjoy sunday so nicely with a walk through London. Thanks and stay healthy.
Another beautiful walk. I am watching these a lot lately as I haven't been able to visit London for a year now! Your history knowledge is outstanding. When we are allowed out again I would love a walk with your voice over for real!
Champagne, a brilliant English invention! I learn something every time with this channel.
LOVERLY JUBBERLY. Thanks joolz, I love watching your great informative videos they take me right back to my teens in the seventies, when I was a Guardsman stationed at Chelsea barracks. if I had any free time,I used to wander around the historical sights.
Another excellent walk Joolz! I always feel like I’m actually along for the ride & it alleviates my homesickness for London. Can’t wait to get back to my old home town.
Can't describe how much I love Joolz Guides. I left London (temporarily) just before lockdown and discovered Joolz thereafter. Watching him trundle about my beloved is heartwarming and I can't wait to come back. I'll be booking a private tour, if only to prevent him from returning to peddling. Tour guidesence is his calling!
Love your videos--they are so much fun! I seem to "accidentally" learn stuff I never knew about London and its history. My daughter took us (that is, my husband and me) on a quick tour of London back in 2012, when she was studying abroad (we're Americans). So now, my daughter and I watch you as you show us the stuff we missed during that hurried, hot July trip nine years ago. We love your theatrical flair, and the anecdotal songs you include (Oh! Say "hi" to your sis, as well!). Have you ever done a series based on the lost seven gates in the Roman Wall (Aldgate, Bishopsgate, Moorgate, Cripplegate, Aldergate, Newgate, and Ludgate)? I recently saw a map of those locations, along with the more-or-less-semi-circle of the Roman wall that was connected at each of its ends to the Thames, and I think it would help "foreigners" like myself get their bearings as you walk through London. Just a suggestion. I'm not even sure it would make any sense to do it that way, but it seemed reasonable from here. ;)
An epic walk around the greatest city in the world! Thank you for the video!
Happy St Patrick's day Joolz..I'm drowning my shamrock and watching your fascinating videos..cheers from Ireland.
Magnificent, Joolz, you're a national treasure
All of your videos are excellent but this is one is superb as you point out so many hidden gems - both entertaining and informative. Thank you very much!!
"But you don't care about that.." But I DO! I do care, with all my heart! It's these anecdotes, these facts and myths, that make the blood of history pump in the veins!
I did care about rob peter to pay Paul.. that was very interesting!!! Thanks!!
It fills me with so much happiness when a video of yours pops up
Amen to that!
Me too x
Me too guys 🔥🔥🔥
As like I do but I’m in Hampshire ☄️☄️☄️
I'm quite new but I love this channel as I'm learning a lot of things about London (and your videos also help me to improve my English ☺️). Hope to visit again London very soon!!
Greeting from Rome!!
I hope you get to visit soon! London is beautiful. But so is your home city - Rome. Rome is my most favourite city in the world. Have been fortunate enough to visit there twice 😊
Thank you JOOLZ I love all your Walks, Memories. 🙏🙏🦘🐨🇦🇺
You made my Mother's Day Joolz! I learn so much in your videos about London. Thank you x
You've just inspired me to take a walk down to Westminster Abbey this afternoon - going to hunt out some of those shelter signs! Fascinating. Thanks Julian, and Simon!
That was me that made the pine cone comment. Thanks for the shout out Joolz! Excellent video as usual and you are looking particularly spiffing today!
These are wonderful programs, love hearing about your lovely mum, bless her. ❤
That’s one way to make my Sunday!
Hopefully when the travel restrictions end I might be able to visit London.
Do you know when that is 1973?
When we all grow a set. Take the muzzles off. And stop this nonsense
@@edglue6138 Yeah, if everyone here hadn't been social distancing and wearing masks when indoors where I live maybe I wouldn't have to worry about when I can go to London because I would probably be dead like 5.5 million Americans in the past year.
@@emjayay turn MSM off em
Woo hoo! Great to see you all back. As usual, I've been out to the pub (we're still lucky here in Brisbane), and I arrived home to find a Joolz. However, given my sobriety status, or lack there-of, I'll watch tomorrow. Had to say g'day though. Party on guys and thrilled to see you are back :-)
Joolz, we do care so much all the great information you give to us-WE DO REALLY CARE-it is so nice to learn why we have all these sayings and love the history. We love you and all your crew too!!
Yay, new Jools guide! These always pep me up! 💗🌹
Glad you like them! Thanks!
Thanks for another great video. I particularly enjoyed the shout out to the Westminster Methodist Central Hall.
What I love about London is every building and every corner of the city has its own history. Many historical figures have lived and worked in London
I live in Northern Ontario Canada.....loved LONDON, absolutely loved it. The history, the culture, its unreal compared to where I live
It amazes me how old London is.
In 1972 I spent several days in London. It's so big I never did get my bearings. I love your 'virtual tours' and now feel I know where I am most of the time. Pip pip, cheerio, and thanks ever-so. Smash that button and ring the bell! Joolz your a wonder.
Hi beautiful westminster from Dominican Republic!!
The universe was showing off when you were made. I adore your boater.
Australia.
Thanks. Hard to find one that fits.
I love St James’ park, worked at the MOD building across the road from Lizzie’s gaff for a while. Spent 80% of my lunch breaks giving directions to tourists.
Thank you for your videos. I have been to London a few times while living in Oxfordshire. Watching brings back memories.
You are lovely, thank you for the wonderful Sunday walk. 😊
Always good to see Joolz.
A great way to wake up and take a nice walk thru the park.
Thxs for this new video. Greetings from Cancún, México.
Very interesting. Thank you! Спасибо!
Always something new to see and learn thanks Joolz. Stay Safe
I absolutely love your videos. I am amazed at the amount of history that you know! You should be a history teacher, I’d love to take classes with you, I learn a lot of things when I watch your videos, thank you Joolz!
Your videos are most enjoyable! Thank you!
Love your videos Joolz. I been to London loads of times and these videos wants me to go more and see lots of interesting places. Keep up the good work and stay safe
I love the knowledge I gain not just from watching your videos, but on the adventures I’m sent onto. Further research leading down a wandering path of knowledge.
Excellent sartorial style sir.
Just the thing to send up to sleep (in Australia), dreaming of our next walkabout in London Town.
I always look forward to your videos. They make me smile😊
It’s nice to have this man as a guide of yours walking about the city!!! Enormous knowledge of history, historical facts and a great sense of humour!
When I’m in London, I do believe, I’ll request for your assistance! 😌😅😀
Well done Joolz, all the little ditties of information are highly illuminating.
Happy Mothers Day to mothers everywhere. Thanks Joolz lovely lockdown walk.
Your videos are uplifting and I have to watch them a few times because of the interesting info. My jaw dropped at your Sean Connery imitation.
Yes! Brilliant.
just watched this from missouri USA. absolutely loved it. good to see. stunning how empty the streets are. really enjoyed the walk you did, filled with fascinating facts. i havnt been home to england since january 2020. so looking forward to being back. watching thais helped me feel a little closer. thank you joolz and co.
If you do a Google Maps streetview walk around the area the sidewalks (as we call them) are wall to wall with tourists.
@@emjayay amazing the difference per lockdowns.
Thanks!!! You took me back to the city I wish I had been born. I visited twice and I would like to do it again. Thank you very much indeed
My gran looked after Lawrence of Arabia when he stayed in Boynton (Yorkshire). He got killed shortly afterwards....my gran is still going strong at 103 and remembers it all.
Henry VIII may have spared Westminster Abbey as his parents are buried there
Glad to see Joolz is still out and about. Love his videos, thanks x
I love waking up on Sunday morning to Joolz. Lovely video of Westminster. I love Regents Park! I was hoping you'd show Cockpit Lane. Westminster Abbey is impressive. I can't wait to travel again and re-visit London. Cheers from across the Pond
Hello Joolz, As always thanks for sharing your wonderful videos and teaching us the history of London 🇬🇧 👍
Thanks Joolz for a lovely trip down memory lane. It must be 60 years since I have walked around Tottenham, so it was great to see how the area I grew up in has changed!
HEY GUYS HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY 💫🤗 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING US 💙💫🌎
Your walks are so fun, I enjoy them very much, thank you
Thanks Jules. I’ll have to save this url and watch it when I get out of the flat and wander through there... I’ll take my sketch book and a packed lunch 👍🏼
my 10x great grandfather is buried at St Margaret's churchyard in Westminster. He was born in 1600 so I can only imagine what life was like back then.
I can imagine viewers from overseas are wondering who the famous historical figure, Norman Stanley Fletcher is..🤔😉
Ha ha ! Yes, let them wonder. I like obscure references.
A man upon whom many "occupational hazards" did fall :D
wonderful video, the quality of this video has become better than the pregame. good video operator
Another great video as usual lol
I want to say a very gratitude filled
Thank you for posting these incredibly well done videos.
This world is filled with people that wish they could visit London but can’t for whatever reason and people who will actually come to London some day.
No matter which category a person is in they appreciate what you do.
Its fantastic how you always have loads of interesting factoids about the area you are wandering about in.
So again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so very much.
So enlightening and to think that I have walked around Westminster so many times and I didn’t know half the things that are there 👍👍
Fantastic 👏👏
London 💙👍🏻
Joolz, you make me remind me my life in London, I’ll be back one they there!
Great video. Westminster is beautiful and quiet.
Thanks! You made my Sunday night.
I'm glad! wow Smith square, my favorite place in Sw1. Many thanks for talking about it in this video
Great episode again with a nod to Evesham, the place of my birth. Good on yer Joolz!!
Thank you Joolz! Another great video. Really helps to keep the spirits up!!
Joolz, thank you. What you almost told us, was that when Westminster Abbey was first built, the land was an island called Thorney Island in the mouth of the River Tyburn which flowed down from what is now Marble Arch. Oxford Street was known as Tyburn Road and Park Lane was Tyburn Lane. And - Thank you once again.
Both jolly and spiffing.... 🇬🇧🙂
Interesting, informative and thoroughly entertaining. Once again, Joolz and his team have provided a feast of facts and fun. I agree with a comment that Eric Lindal made a few days ago - when will Joolz have his own show on tv? Thanks Joolz and team - you brighten my day on a regular basis. Much love and respect, from Bristol x
Another first-rate video, Joolz. Glad that the book is coming in useful...
Brilliant, brilliant videos. Joolz, please hurry back.
As enjoyable and informative as ever, keep up the good work
As always, excellent and very informative.
Lovely to get out and about! As such. Thanks ❤️. Happy Mothers Day 💐
I really enjoy how you tell us all those interest details and info to enjoy the spectacular s view
Jolly good walk Joolz. Stay well. Thanks.
Love all these videos. Hopefully we'll be able to visit London someday
1:57 Excellent impression of Sean Connery's voice as well!...My name izh Bond...Jamezh Bond!... 👏👏👏
Talking about previous videos, there’s one of one of those infamous pelicans eating a pigeon right in front of the kids feeding the assorted birds 😱 lol x
Pigeons are very nutritious and easy to catch. That’s why cats love them too.
@@kellydalstok8900 think it was more the screaming of the children, as the slaughter of the poor creature ensued 🤣🤣
Lovely shoes Joolz
Love your videos, been watching since the new year! Today was a birthday treat.
