My dad and I watched this video today and smiled. We visited London last weekend and this is the last pub we stopped in after visiting the mummies in the British Museum, our farewell drink before making our way back to the airport. Small world...
Not only Londoners love London. The concept that London - or any other place in the world , at that- belongs just to the people born there , that really is ANCIENT. London ows its prosperity to everyone's work and efforts, and love & care, and that includes of non- Londoners. British made fortunes, as still does today thanks to all the countries and peoples it colonized Stay safe. 😚😷😷
Southern California here and first time seeing a video of yours. I like the idea of looking at the smaller points of interest in major cities so great idea here! The smaller museums are really interesting and it's fun to see parts of a large city that are not all traffic and crowds.
I really love the content of this channel, it has also made me improve my listening comprehension. Listening to authentic British people really makes a difference.
Yay you did Bloomsbury thank you thank you so much Julian. It means so much to me as I cannot travel there myself. What a fantastic channel. I enjoy every video.
We went to London for the first time last year and the museum circuit in Kensington was the highlight of our trip. Simply incredible. We're going to have to come back and see all these other ones you've shown us today :) THX !
Love and enjoy all your videos, but this one, for some reason, I found very informative and entertaining, you seem to have covered alot! As usual your commentary is really well done! 💖 Thank you Julian...take care!
Thk you so much for your videos. I Love your laughs, jokes, songs, and all the info. you share. It has been years since I was all over London. I long to return.
You're amazingly knowledgeable. Very entertaining and captivating. You'd make a superb presenter, delivering historical London stories. Great advertising for places of great interest. Thank you. Enjoyed.
Love watching you. You have a Great personality, you are serious and respectful when you should be and then add humor to other things and at certain times when needed. And love the songs you add.
Strewth Joolz, that was one of your best! I'm staying in Bloomsbury this weekend so I'll be rambling round those places. There are so many hidden gems in Bloomsbury, you could do loads of vids there. Thanks shedloads.
Another great video! I'd love to see you creating a video series about London Unis in your channel: their history, famous alumni, facts about their buildings and their previous use, etc. London Unis are part of what makes this city great and I believe it will be very interesting. Cheers!
What a wonderful and educating via fun video. Your Pip Pip Tally ho is such a remarkable opening line. Many thanks for presenting many jewels of London. People may living in the area but has no time for this rich history. Thanks Julian. You have ipened my eyes.
oh my gosh incredible, better than any tv programmes. You live and breath this. I hope someday i can get to be as good as you are at what you do via youtube. How lucky i am to stumble into your channel.
Fantastic video, so many gems in this one! Those 2 small museums are definitely going to be on my list to visit when COVID eventually ends. For now, overseas travel is just a faraway dream for we Aussies, sigh.
My family and my self are from the Midlands and love visiting London as often as we can and since finding joolz guides have learnt so much I'm working my way through each video this man should have his own TV series it's compulsive watching
Joolz dear, please don’t assume we ‘don’t care’ to hear your little historic facts/anecdotes on this most wonderful city of London.... we LOVE to hear them!
Very educational once again Joolz. Picked up alot from that. Cant wait for this horrible period to end and Bloomsbury will be one of the first places I will explore. Thanks
This is so fun!!! Love the history the tour if all the areas if the city...I'm from Maine and my travel dream is the UK and Ireland...Someday ...but fir now this is great..Thanks...very enjoyable...
I discovered these videos by accident really. I was reading about London's water gates and one click leads to another and I saw these. I was born in London, moved away then went back and lived there for about 20 years. I did a couple of the walks, including a Charles Dickens one and visited quite alot of places but I could kick myself now for not appreciating and taking more time to look at the lesser known historical parts of London. Joolz said he had 150 of these videos...so must crack on! They are brilliant by the way!
Julian Im new to your channel. Your positivity and joy in the city you love is keeping my spirits up! Its a glimpse of life as it was before this madness happened. Thank you for this and all your other films, when I feel low I just dip into your tours and its enough to keep me going. x
I moved house and only just got my TH-cam account back, great to find yours was the first account to open in the recommended slot. Great film Joolz I enjoyed it very much, nice to be back online.
Just stumbled upon this channel, very cool! This is the neat thing about the UK and continental Europe... you can see things that are centuries old. Here in Florida, you're lucky to see something 100 years old unless you go to St. Augustine.
What a pleasant surprise. I had lunch and a pint or two at the Museum Tavern last summer while I was in London. Didn’t know of its historical significance until now thanks to you. Thank you for another enjoyable video.
Measuring happiness by how many people it reaches........this is what you are doing 200 years later. Cecelia Street is quite magnificent. This is where I would live if I were a millionaire. The woman who curate theses museums are just lovely.......I think you made their day Joolz. Lol! I think was makes your videos so charming is that you go off on your tangents......as if I was there and you are talking to us in person. You bring history alive and make it interesting. Those tailors trousers look like they came from Orvis. They too are tailored trousers made to ones measurements. They also are the last to make large cord Corduroy trousers. $198.oo a pair. Very cozy old fashioned large tailored pants. You have some good commercials on here. I hope you’re doing well with this and you are saving your money. Getting old is a bitch. Save your money Joolz. Buy a flat in Italy. There are towns they are selling stone houses for one dollar. You don’t want to be selling kits at 80.
Great video as always. This is one of my fav areas of London. I would also stick the wellcome collection over by Euston in here too as it’s free and also excellent
I enjoyed this very much! Especially considering I walked around that area, going from russell square station to the british museum. Which I couldn't find (took me some time to figure out google maps, haha) so I asked, twice, a couple of policemen on the streets, and none of them knew where the museum was. Interesting. Eventually I found it but I got in from the back entrance. Don't remember going through much security controls. Not even a queue. Oh, 2015, how naive we were... Gorgeous area of London and very informative video! Need to go see that Woburn walk. Looks beautiful! Thanks, Jools! Have a great week.
Thank you SO much for the guided tour! I am moving to London next month to work at UCL and now, after seeing this video, I am really looking forward to immersing myself in this charming area of London!
Whenever I hear the song _"Daisy Bell"_ (Harry Dacre, 1892), I always hear it in the 'voice' of the IBM 704... The *IBM 704* was a very early example (in 1962) of a computer capable of voice synthesis, and the song _"Daisy Bell"_ was used to demonstrate that it could not only talk, but sing! Present at this demonstration was a science-fiction writer you nay have heard of named *Arthur C. Clarke,* and this marvel of the transistor age stayed with him until he was writing a screenplay for a pretty-successful film with a chap named *Stanley Kubrick.* This is why the computer HAL sings _"Daisy Bell"_ in its last moments in the movie *"2001: A Space Odyssey"* when Dave Bowman unplugs his core computer chips - it represents HAL's memory being disassembled to the point where it can only remember the earliest remnants of its programming, the software being built upon the legacy of that powerful IBM 704 computer Clarke had seen demonstrated. I believe there are some TH-cam clips of the actual IBM 704 voice synthesis demonstration floating about if you search for them... if anything it actually sounds even more eerie than HAL's "death" in the movie!
Love the videos!! I like that you show stuff off the beaten path. I do wish some of the stuff (like the world's oldest garment were given back to Egypt but I understand that times were different then. It was still need to see though,
I'm praying to get into UCL (I'm a mature student) so I've been unconsciously watching videos about the area. I can't tell you how much I screamed when you started playing Daisy Daisy. ITS A SIGN FROM THE UNIVERSE. (my name is Daisy by the way 😅)
Yes. I finally found the video that is in vicinity of where I will be staying next month, Bedford Hotel area. Thanks Jules ! I've highlighted some stops. 🙂
This brings back memories of UCL... that said, because you presented it in such a brilliant way, I forgot about the never ending stress so hats off to you sir!
I've just been introduced to Joolz's videos. Well done, that man! He does get about a bit! Very entertaining and informative. An extra bit of trivia on Russell Square: On the Brunei Gallery building of SOAS (NW corner of Russell Square) there is a plaque apologising to the Bedford Estates, whose land this is, for not consulting them before building it in 1995. Somebody slipped up! (I used to work at SOAS, but nothing to do with building works!)).
Hi Joolz Thank you for your Videos, as i can't walk well but would have loved to book a tour with you so your videos give me a great insight into London thanks again
Hi Joolz! Love your videos. I used to live in Wales and have visited London quite a few times. Your videos bring back lots of lovely memories of my time there. I especially love the background music, reminds me of long ago, times, Is it you singing or some other artist? Thanks for the beautifully filmed videos. Great quality and you’re a splendid guide. 👍👍👍
I love your videos! I haven't been to England since 1976. I love the history of it all! I especially liked the hat shop. You should do the other hat shop too sometime. Thanks!

He really puts love in it
He’s great but fuck tv
@zach morris It's that show where you never got to bang Kelly in the end, remember?
BBC are you watching? Give this man his own show!
*THANKZ JULES MUM*
My dad and I watched this video today and smiled. We visited London last weekend and this is the last pub we stopped in after visiting the mummies in the British Museum, our farewell drink before making our way back to the airport. Small world...
The city of London owes you an award for being a wonderful travel ambassador! UK Holiday 2021, Thank You Joolzy
Excellent tour, this is from an ancient Londoner who loves our history and London well done.

Im 78 and never been there---except via this transportation. which is the next bst thing
I hope you visit some day @@MrDaiseymay
The Best person on youtube for information and history of London, and I thought I knew London!!
I really love the content of this channel, it has also made me improve my listening comprehension. Listening to authentic British people really makes a difference.
I always get excited when I see another Joolz Guide video posted. It's really lovely to see how he loves London like an old friend.
Yay you did Bloomsbury thank you thank you so much Julian. It means so much to me as I cannot travel there myself. What a fantastic channel. I enjoy every video.
We went to London for the first time last year and the museum circuit in Kensington was the highlight of our trip. Simply incredible. We're going to have to come back and see all these other ones you've shown us today :) THX !
I'm looking forward to your videos! You show us such interesting places, things, houses and people. Greetings from Germany
Another brilliantly interesting video from the best. I love seeing and hearing about all the little hidden gems of London. Thank you.
Love and enjoy all your videos, but this one, for some reason, I found very informative and entertaining, you seem to have covered alot! As usual your commentary is really well done! 💖 Thank you Julian...take care!
Thk you so much for your videos. I Love your laughs, jokes, songs, and all the info. you share. It has been years since I was all over London. I long to return.
These videos are so lovely. Especially at the moment when we cannot visit all the fascinating places.
You're amazingly knowledgeable. Very entertaining and captivating. You'd make a superb presenter, delivering historical London stories. Great advertising for places of great interest. Thank you. Enjoyed.
Love watching you. You have a Great personality, you are serious and respectful when you should be and then add humor to other things and at certain times when needed. And love the songs you add.

Your videos are great! Thank you for taking us to all these interesting places!
Fantastic video, so many gems in this one! Those 2 small museums are definitely going to be on my list to visit when COVID eventually ends. For now, overseas travel is just a faraway dream for we Aussies, sigh.
My family and my self are from the Midlands and love visiting London as often as we can and since finding joolz guides have learnt so much I'm working my way through each video this man should have his own TV series it's compulsive watching
My first work experience in high school year 10 was selling paintings in a small gallery on Woburn Walk, Thank you for the nostalgia.
That was maahvelously eccentric tour and you do it so well!!
Love all your vids and congrats on your new career as Wolverine!
Nice. Worked close to Tavistock Square many years ago. Bloomsbury is a lovely part of the city.
Brilliant as usual so far! Keep it up - Can't wait to visit some of these magnificent museum for myself! :D
Thanks ! I'm French & I Love LONDON - U.K
fabrice duchenne I always thought Anglophiles in France were a myth! 😉❤️🌹✌🏻🇬🇧
Joolz dear, please don’t assume we ‘don’t care’ to hear your little historic facts/anecdotes on this most wonderful city of London.... we LOVE to hear them!
omg, the Museum tavern, that was my first pub when I first visited back in 1985! Cheers!
Very educational once again Joolz. Picked up alot from that. Cant wait for this horrible period to end and Bloomsbury will be one of the first places I will explore. Thanks
So glad I chanced upon this! Fantastic can’t wait to see more of your fabby work x
This is so fun!!! Love the history the tour if all the areas if the city...I'm from Maine and my travel dream is the UK and Ireland...Someday ...but fir now this is great..Thanks...very enjoyable...

Do drone on, I love it. Makes me miss London, fabulous city...

So enjoying your videos, and the music too.
Thank you Joolz! I just love the places you take us. What gorgeous buildings. I think this video is one of your best. BTW I love the face hair!
This was quite an aesthetically-pleasing video.
Do you mean architecture or the Mutton chops ? Lol.
Wonderful video again, very nice walk, great museums, and I love the fact that you use your dady's hat.
I moved house and only just got my TH-cam account back, great to find yours was the first account to open in the recommended slot. Great film Joolz I enjoyed it very much, nice to be back online.

"Daisy, Daisy give me your answer true..." One of the songs my Grandma taught me. Dang it, now my eyes are leaking. *sigh*.
Great video as always. This is one of my fav areas of London. I would also stick the wellcome collection over by Euston in here too as it’s free and also excellent
Great video! I used to work in the building just across the street from Tavistock Square...it's a nice part of town!
I really want to visit this Egypt museum!!!
I enjoyed this very much! Especially considering I walked around that area, going from russell square station to the british museum. Which I couldn't find (took me some time to figure out google maps, haha) so I asked, twice, a couple of policemen on the streets, and none of them knew where the museum was. Interesting.

My friend & I were regular visitors to the Museum Tavern, brilliant pub!!
I've learnt a lot of expressions and english watching these videos, many thanks. From chile.
I love your videos, I learn a lot with them and find new place out of the main guides. Regards from Spain

EXCELLENT INFORMATION, THANK YOU.
I’ve just found you site and want to say thank you for a very entertaining and interesting show ...X
Love the videos!! I like that you show stuff off the beaten path. I do wish some of the stuff (like the world's oldest garment were given back to Egypt but I understand that times were different then. It was still need to see though,
your vlog tours get fascinating by the moment!!
Brilliant as always!
So enjoyable. Thank you.
I'm praying to get into UCL (I'm a mature student) so I've been unconsciously watching videos about the area. I can't tell you how much I screamed when you started playing Daisy Daisy. ITS A SIGN FROM THE UNIVERSE.
(my name is Daisy by the way 😅)
Hi Joolz. Looking good with the chops. C from the little haunted cottage in Ireland 🍀🍀🍀👻👻👻
Museum and art gallery staff are very grateful. When someone visits them.
New subscriber, love historical collection, awesome video, thanks for sharing.
Another great post
"Wot the Dickens" is such a great cafe name!
Absolutely brilliant!!
Yes. I finally found the video that is in vicinity of where I will be staying next month, Bedford Hotel area. Thanks Jules ! I've highlighted some stops. 🙂

Hi Joolz Thank you for your Videos, as i can't walk well but would have loved to book a tour with you so your videos give me a great insight into London thanks again
really enjoyed your time....thanks for the tour: a bostonian across the pond. !
I study at UCL and watch your videos all the time... gutted I didn’t see you that day!!
Liking the Pat Mustard sideburns (RIP). Interesting story about John Hurt, blimey.
Fascinating video - thanks very much! I wish I had access to something like this the last time I was in London - sadly that was pre-internet...
Thanks, I really enjoyed this video.
Lord have mercy we love you!!! Excellent work!!!
Really fascinating atmosphere....🌞🌞🌞
As always, an interesting enjoyable video.
Hi Joolz! Love your videos. I used to live in Wales and have visited London quite a few times. Your videos bring back lots of lovely memories of my time there.
