Loved the video. I stayed in Brick Lane over last Christmas period (on holidays from Australia). Had no interest in Jack the Ripper however the area was nice. Lots of history, great food, lots happening. Loved the video and love the channel. Keep it up!
Yes, I don't like the topic much either. Kept having nightmares!
@@Joolzguides Joolz, I looked up Lil Lost Lou in several places but i can't find this version of the Ripper song with the accordion etc. Can you tell me where I can find it? It's just wonderful.
You should build a joolz london tour app !
@@Joolzguides hahaha awww
Loved the video my mum & have been on a Jack The Ripper tour when a police car pulled up beside us on Goulston Street and announced ' We're still looking for him "
Good to seem them not giving up!
Cops. Doing the work of two men. Abbott and Costello. Since 1800
Seeing as how the case was officially closed in 1892, then no, no they are not. And to the very best of my knowledge the police have never again opened the case. So once again, the police are lying ....yeah, I know - how surprising(!)
@@verystupidbusinessquestion593 Went right over your head, didn't it?
Well im right here
Sleeping on a rope is where the term hang over comes from , the drunks would spend all there money on booze so only have enough for the rope, so getting very drunk means you get a hang over.
I was wondering that. He literally said "hung over it", so I figured that's where it came from. But he never said so, and you'd think, if he knew, he'd add that info, since it's exactly the type of thing these guide types love to share. I guess he doesn't know.
@1878EFC2008 well I've heard the same thing from someone else so they both can't be wrong.
@@zaramariadixon39 ??? Of course they can both be wrong!
@@limpfishyes I respectfully disagree.
@@zaramariadixon39 Thats not how life works... out of the billions on this planet you're saying that you just need 2 people to say something to make it fact?.... Smurfs live in the bottom of my garden, there all we need is one more person to say that and it must be fact.
The thing I like about Joolz is whenever I feel the need to pause one of his videos, he patiently waits until I come back and resumes where he left off.
I was similar, although it was the music and singing that made me not just wanna pause it, but turn it off totally. NEXT
As a newcomer to London, I love seeing all these places I'm now familiar with, and learning their histories and associations from Joolz. This is why London is awesome.
Thank you for being Frank.
I did a Jack the Ripper tour in 1997. It was at night and quite a lot of fun too. The tour ended for all of us at that very pub in fact.
The row of terraced houses at 0:52 are on Varden Street or Walden Street just off the New Road (just south of the famous London Hospital).
The original residents were probably skilled members of the working class or the lower middle class (engineers, teachers, small shop keepers, clerks, police constables, etc) when they were first built, probably around 1800-1820.
They were later occupied by different families on each floor (cellar, ground floor and first floor and maybe attics in some of them), and in other similar streets in East London, they often had a different family living in each room (usually two rooms per floor).
Nowadays, they are very sought after houses, especially by people who work at the London Hospital and also by those who work in the financial area of the City (just to the west) and also at Canary Wharf and Docklands, located slightly east.
The original residents and also those who lived in them in the 1840's to the 1980's would be amazed by how much they are worth thesesdays.
I always wanted to live in England. The history is so vivid. Thank you for these tours Sir!
were full up
@@paulmcdonough1093 Please, full up of what/who?
@@LucaScarpellini3d people.
True am here already
Luca Scarpellini what do you think? People, of course. We are full. Housing is near impossible to find in London unless you have astronomical money for the rent. I know what you were angling for. Do that on another video.
It was the Jack the Ripper story that started my lifelong journey towards studying criminology... this is brilliant cheers
Your intelligence and effervescent personality makes you the perfect dinner guest. Thank you!!!!!
More like a pub buddy to me...
Unfortunately. This isn't t a dinner. It s the story of five women. Mothers and sisters. Getting cut to pieces and left in the street to traumatize passersby. Nothing funny. Nothing to smile about
New York had a similar neighborhood.. in the Five Points District...
Thank you so much for making this video, and giving information on the victims!! So many things like this focus on Jack the Ripper and totally ignore the victims!! This was the best video I have seen on the subject!! Thanks again!!!
The song in this clip is eery
I love people like you and your friends that love to tell stories. Going on tours like these are the best. Thanks for posting
Me being a ex-Broadway pianist, you are adding to my January itinerary way too quickly, Joolz. Every time I watch a video, I end up adding to my list - Mr. Fogg’s, the Todd/Lovett site, Nell Gwynn’s house and the pub, now the Royal Hospital Museum!
Great to hear! If only the London tourist board appreciated me as much! Thanks...see you in January!
Raised the bar again, Joolz! Excellent piece.
Yes...how can i keep up the standard?
Joolz Guides - London History Walks - Travel Films can you do a film on Ruth Elllis?! That’s a fascinating story! Excellent videos!
Joolz Guides - London History Walks - Travel Films the great fire of London is an interesting one, love to know more about it, Pudding Lane etc...
This is sad. I hadn’t understood the history of Jack the Ripper. Thank you for making this video. I appreciate how respectfully you told this story.
Thanks. Yes, I feel it's rather sad about these poor women. It isn't all that long ago!
@@Joolzguides if you re sad. Why are you smiling and laughing and making jokes throughout the whole video. When you re doing a video about YOUR MOTHER getting cut to pieces by the Greenwich ripper. We ll see how funny you think that is. Look up empathy in the dictionary and tell me why NONE OF YOU KIDS KNOW WHAT IT IS. All in all you re just another brick in the wall
yes all the jokes and the restaurant guide were very respectful. Like Ricky gervais
3:25 "but back in 1888 it was all like slums." Looks like it still is! Great videos--great history--love London.
I just saw the body of Mary Jane Kelly and it is the most gruesome thing I’ve ever seen. This man was the devil’s spawn.
Even the devil himself would have vomited 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Wow! That part of London still seems so very run down and sad. It seems abandoned.
Always has been.
It's the east end.. Always was like that compared to nearby towns
But it will cost an arm and a leg to live there, whether renting or buying, he actually named famous people who live there.
Maggie McGonigle Yeah its right next door to Shoreditch and has experienced significant gentrification. I mean sure at night around Brick Lane and the markets the pubs and clubs are a bit seedy but there are lots of vegan joints that have sprung up and loads of art galleries and vintage stores. It's a very hip and arty neighbourhood now with lots of the old buildings and warehouses turned into apartments and very expensive housing as well as commercial sites.
Wow nothing about this video gives me that vibe of this neighborhood. You must not be from/visited any big city. Plenty neighborhoods look like this!
Excellent and the Ten Bells at the end. I clinked glasses and made pub chat in there many years ago whilst they shot a telly documentary... Apparently they wanted atmosphere. Great vlog and interesting tour. Thx!
Great video Joolz, love learning about London's many stories from the past & present.
Thanks Ben. Glad I can help!
I love these vidoes... the only (a bit) sad thing is that quite often every building you talk about does't exist anymore... we have to imagine so much unfortunately.
I'm convinced it was H.H. Holmes, The murders stopped in London when he left and the same type of murders began in Chicago as soon as he arrived there and he is known as America's first serial killer. Great Video by the way!
Steve Reynolds Methodology was totally different though, Holmes had elaborate planning, the Ripper was in fits and starts.
Love the theory either way!
Thanks. Yes, search me guv! I'm no expert but it was creepy seeing the locations.
Steve Reynolds Holmes was born and raised in the US. What makes you think he was in London?
America's first serial killers were the harpe brothers.
I love this video and how its presented. So fascinating.. I miss London soo much, cant wait to come back and learn more. Most fascinating city in the world
Your videos are amazing...I’m a mancunian living in America and returning to Blighty soon. Loving the videos and I’m looking forward to booking a tour
Great. I look forward!
Just found your channel. Brilliant stuff, you really should have a TV deal 😉👍 100% better than the pish on council telly.
Raymond McDonald Don’t you guys in the U.K. have cable? Not being mean...
Samuel Hayden satellite, cables a thing of the past here...
I think the first time I heard about Jack the Ripper was when I was a kid when I saw the movie "Time After Time" which was about Jack the Ripper stealing HG Wells time machine and escaping to the present day New York, back when the present day was 1979. I remember being in a bit of Jack the Ripper curiousity fit after that, going to the library to research and stuff - because seeing the movie I was like, maybe that was why they never caught him, he used a time machine and went to the future
I think this is the most likely explanation.
Maybe he did and is now Ted bundy?
After all Ted pretend to be poorly or injured. Get sympathy from women.
I can’t believe the timing of this video. In two weeks we’re moving to London and staying right here when we arrive. Thanks for the video.
Watch your back. He's still alive they say!!
5:10 - Never heard that one before, Unbelievable! .... and don't give Ryan air ideas!
Martin it’s where the term hung over, comes from. Drunks would pay to hang over the rope.
Your videos are really amazing ...I want to live in london ...now after watching your vids....i think you deserve more love and subscribers or even a show on tlc ...
Thanks Selena. I agree. And I'm glad you watched this one. My sister's song is very good! What do you do?
Julian you never disappoint. Look forward to your vids. Keep them coming.
BTW, Author Donald Rumbelow also gives a good Ripper walking tour
It's all a bit grizzly for me to be honest!
Been to all the ripper sites with Donald Rumbelow. You have to do the separate Whitechapel tour with him to go to buck row, that was the first one I went to, on a Sunday afternoon with 5 of us. Then went on a Friday night ripper tour with him with about 70 of us lol. Ripper your was interesting but Whitechapel tour had more points of interest and history
Excellent video! Have been on a tour around Whitechapel myself and would definitely recommend :)
Well done! Great style with exceptional music. I have always enjoyed your videos. And they are definitely in the professional arena! I binge watched all of your videos last year, before my trip to London. And was hoping to run into you filming somewhere (but alas, no). You are one of the best! Can't wait for the next one!
Thanks Linda. It's amazing how many people say this and yet how few want me on their TV shows. Oh well...build your dream before someone hires you to build theirs I say!
Fun London Guides - Julian McDonnell Films Well, I'm still rooting for you all the same. You did make an award winning film, which in itself; is quite amazing. Keep up the good work!
5:15 - Sleeping on a Rope - Hungover
Enjoyed the tour. My ancestor Charles Lechmere/cross is the best suspect out there...and the only one found with a freshly killed victim 🎩🔪
That hearty laugh at 5:27 gave me a fit of giggles as well. Great video Joolz!
For anyone willing to do so, I urge you to read "The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper." It focuses on the five canonical women, their lives, and how they ended up as victims of the murderer. It is vital in understanding the human stories behind the myth of Jack the Ripper.
Thank you for bringing this up. I've not read the book yet but an aware of it. I understand it focuses on the victims and reveals a lot more about their lives,. i believe it caused a bit of a stir as it shattered a few myths that the ripper tour guides like to perpetuate. I did one of the tours some years back and it was very interesting as the guide offered a wider picture of the history of the area which I found fascinating. I knew a lot about the murders anyway so i ended up having a good chat with him.
To add, I also made a point of visiting the graves of some of the victims to pay respect. Seemed the right thing to do.
Read it , the author has done great justice to the women
In 2006, this Yank, did one of those Ripper tours at the end of which, we were invited to wonder a bit. Our guide suggested not mentioning Jack within Ten Bells as the owner was quite full of it. I did have a half and then walked around the block in the dark. What I remember quite well was our first stop. Our guide pointed out how Ripper tours, and there must be a dozen or more, were among the most popular London tours. Having said that we watched as the tour groups began arriving and vying for space at the location of the first murder.
A new and fresh look at "The Ripper" walks. Really enjoyed it.
Thanks!
Superb guide, on this grim but fascinating puzzle. One of your best. Thanks Joolz!
Yes, I like this one although I didn't enjoy making it!!
Classic pint in a pub finish there Joolz. Given the subject matter, I do find the ripper legend intriguing due to the macabre atmosphere of olde landan town. Music by your sister suited the piece very well
Thanks Dave.. Seemed a good place to finish. She'll be pleased you liked the song.
Got my English son-in-law and our daughter into your videos, Julian. BTW: He's from Portsmouth. Many thanks.
Oh great! I must go there....
It's amazing how much that area of London has changed, as I went on a Jack the Ripper walk for the centenary in 1988 and the building where the writing "jewes are the men..." was derelict and you could just walk in over the rubble beside it. Mitre Square still had the old cobblestones and The Ten Bells hadn't been done up, it was still very East End gritty with all the Victorian features and was very authentic.
I used to do a ripper walk in the late 1970s. There is a wonderful video on TH-cam called : " forgotten London with the late great James mason. He actually visits 29 Hanbury street in the back yard where the murder of Annie Chapman occurred . Not a nice place or way to end your life.
Cool. That would be amazing. I mean, it's all very grim and I don't like going around those spots. The locations don't look anything like how they did though these days.
@@Joolzguides
Most, if not all the ripper locations are gone. I here that miter square is going to be redeveloped. I think only the school in bucks row is still.standing and the wall in Goulston street is now a take away. Nice to see the 10 bells still on the go.
It's called "The London Nobody Knows" based on a book of the same name. Gilbert & George have lived and worked in Fournier Street for 50 years now (and saw the James Mason documentary being filmed). Tracey Emin's studio is sandwiched between Bell Lane and Tenter Ground just south of Spitalfields market.
@@Mathemagical55 That's a brilliant bit of info. Many thanks for that. I remember the documentary so well James visited a salvation Army hostel as well as Hanbury street before it was knocked down. What an awful place and way to end your life. I will definitely buy the book. Many thanks man.
This is one of his best videos I think. I wonder why it doesn't have much views???
Yes, I guess it might be a slow burner or maybe there are just so many other videos about this and they are actually more detailed. Mine does show the locations nicely though. I'm glad you liked it!
Yes i agree 1 of the best ved yet Cheers julian
I bore my family endlessly with regurgitated joolz facts of london whilst we wonder, they roll their eyes but really I can see a glint! Cheers joolz!
Another great video Joolz your a great entertainer in each video. London councils should pay you money for stimulating interest in London. Lil lost Lou is a great singer and beautiful she should go far. She has a distinct interesting sound which stands out.
Jack the Ripper would be a great name for a heavy metal guitarist.
I've been waiting for this video since you announced it on Facebook! I loved every second of it, all your videos are amazing, from the first one I saw the harry potter tour to this one, keep up the great work! Your channel makes me want to know more about London. ....love it!
Thanks. You must come!
Fun London Guides - Julian McDonnell Films I'm from London lol, its just I've never done the tourist thing, me and the wife are going to have a London day, all the tourist attractions 😁
There's a good documentary about Charles Cross being a prime suspect. He also went by Charles Allen Letchmere.
I brought him up as well, very interesting background he has. If he was Jack he is the most unlucky fellow there is, as all seems to point his way. Thanks for you bringing his name up as well Daniel!
What’s the documentary called on Charles Cross?
@@judithscobee8102 Found it-The Missing Evidence! It is on youtube Judith again cheers!
@@passionforlust Thank you!
Thank you Julian for this new interesting video! You're the best😉missing London so much💜
Thanks. You must come back!
Excellent work again Jules. I spend a lot of time around that area, know it well. Jack The Ripper - my favourite Morrissey track.
Oh...didn't know he has one...
amazing video so interesting .... thank you son much for unloading !! coming to london in August !!
Oh! Say hi if you see me!
My grandmother was alive in Whitechapel when the Ripper was at large and doing his dreadful murders. She was a child, but told me it was very frightening.
And my school was out at Leyton next to the RC cemetery where the grave of Mary Kelly is. Goodall Road School is no longer there. New housing was put on the site in the 80s... although they left the painted playground railings as a feature around the new houses.
Of course she was
Joolzie,I just watched this again and I just want to say You Are Amazing At What You Do! The way you did this vid was Excellent, Truly! Thank You So Much For your Research And Overall Diligent Work on these walking videos. Cheers!
Why thank you! Yes, this one really took a while and is one of my best I think. My sister's music helps.
Another amazing video! Thanks! Greetings from Germany
Bitte schon!
Fun London Guides - Julian McDonnell Films Gern geschehen!!!
Love the music!
These type videos, the tour ones are my favorite. I like when they're longer :) bc it makes me feel like im there.
The songs were so cheery, despite the words lol. I've watched it twice so far
Oh, my sister will be pleased you liked the music! Yes, this one is a good one. Took a long time to make.
Fun London Guides - Julian McDonnell Films she makes good music :)
That was really cool, and the longest one yet! I love the historical locations and theme, can't wait for the next one.
Well, not as long as my documentaries but yes, it had to be epic.
Brilliant! I'm grateful to have discovered your channel. Next time in London I know who to contact for a walking tour. Cheers!
Loved the Corrs singing about Mary Ann Nichol there now.
Excellent walking tour, my first proper look at all the locations in the London (in Spittafields wasn't it??) of the Ripper murders, in one [continuous] (in 2 parts for you, though!) showing. & you've done a smashingly good job of it, well done to everyone, presenter bloke (Julian?? good name too BTW! ;)) sounded very knowledgeable on the subject.
Looks LOIK (add accent) everyone had fun making it, & having the lovely old chap, RIPPER TOUR GUIDE fella in full costume, really added the authentic RIPPER-o-logical, London of the RIPPER TIMES tour feel. Brilliant
And OH MY WORD, omigoshhh, & oh my lord, his voice when reading that letter..... yowza, couldn't believe it when it was revealed it was him speaking!! It was sooo creepy, I mean chillifyiiingly so.... (LOL) REALLY GOOD, BRILLIANT. I was truly freaked out for a moment there!! And amazed, & surprised, pleasantly. Haah. (Trippy but good)
Ha ha! Well, as it happens he is a trained actor! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was very hard work!
Fun London Guides - Julian McDonnell Films
Hey how are you going, thanks for the reply! I never get replied back to except some twat kids who tell me what I can and cant say on youtube!! They dont like my dislike of their profanity when adressing me and think Im a granny! :P Oh but Excuse my british french there, if you catch my drift. Yes the english swear. We use it here too... pardon me.
Im from Australia, a long, long way away.....
& although I would love to see some sights & countries of both Europe and the UK... someday...... (??)
(Lots of places of interest there, from TV film literature etc)
...it's probably unlikely that I will ever have the opportunity (sighhh)
But, if I were ever able to, I would really love to take my mum along to check out a bit of Britain & the UK with me... like if we ever got to go for a trip together, which would ideally be on the way to Europe, as I have always wished to go few places & countries of interest, where she has been & has family, & of course including where my parents were born (where I have never yet been, except with my family when I was just a baby.)
Oh this is indeed an interesting new development...
I actually began writing this yesterday before seeing that you have already been to my parents homeland!! Which is awesome. Im gonna look at that one soon.
Im terrible at messages too and edited the above one, plus had more to say on it but didn't want to prattle on TOO MUCH! :P
Well have a good one, & look forward to seeing you soon at the "other" location...
(Yes being a little mysterious, but Im sure you've guessed...)
Bruce Robinson wrote an excellent book called They All Love Jack. Highly recommended.
Really enjoyed the Jack the Ripper episode!!
Yes, I think it's one of my better pieces although I didn't like making it!
I took the Free Tours by Foot tour of Ripper sites a couple of years ago. If I return to London soon, I shall try to take your version.
This was so interesting and informative Julian . Your guides are just the best. Well done again and keep up the great work. Always a pleasure to watch.
Thanks Andrew. Don't forget to tell the BBC!
Keep it up Julian, Meaning the videotapes of course.
So you haven't solved the mystery of who was Jack the Ripper, but you did manage to include another pint at the pub! Well done! Now, when are you available to go to Tristan da Cunha?
Well that's a good point... It's a bit further than east london!!!
Once again a fantastic video. Thanks so much for the upload, I love your work. Nice one . 😎
Thanks James. Yes, this one took me ages!
Another wonderful video. Great story from a great personality. Loved it!
Thank you Paul!
Your tours are great thank you for posting
Good job the best one yet.
I was waiting for this one. Thanks!
Great...got there eventually
Fantastic!
Great footage!! I enjoyed this and our Sunday tour!!! Happy 4th of July from USA!!
Thanks! No taxation without representation. Down with the British!
I loved the song!
Hubert Van Calenbergh I downloaded it. Great wee song.
I hated it. It sounded like nails down a chalkboard to me.
Every shop on brick lane is halal, every shop on petticoat lane is halal, every shop in spitalfields market is halal. This is why I love London...
This my favorite video. The music totally makes it!
Jack the Ripper is one of the True Crime subjects I revisit periodically to explore further.
I just found your channel and I think you're simply amazing! Me and my man are going to London in spetember and now I'm even more excited than before! - Is there any way to book you for a private tour? :D (kind of joking, but also kind of not ^^)
Ha ha...well....you can contact me on joolzguides.com
I've consistently found Brick Lane to sell some of the worst curries I've ever had.
That aside, great video!
charles allen lechmere aka jack the ripper
New subscriber, and a big thumbs up :-)
Nice video again Jules, have you seen the lovely house , 4 Princelet Street ?
Really interesting area :)
Cheers
Drew
Oh....That's where I filmed some of the black and white shots... Didn't know it was a film set!!
You walked straight past the Frying Pan public house when you were exploring Brick Lane. At least one of the mortuary buidings still survives as well. You might want to also check out the area round the George Yard buildings. At one time George Chapman rented out the cellar of the local pub The White Hart. It turns out he lived not twenty yards from the site of the Martha Tabram murder. It's a small world.
Top work Jools, as always 🇬🇧👍
Tally ho Joolz I love your videos please can you do a guide on Kingston Upon Thames/Hampton Court area? Lots of history there!
Good idea! One day I hope I will!
Haha, I am no longer a virgin, ask ur sister :/
Good show old bean, another cracking video. Nicely filmed and produced. Fun topic and interesting. Well done.
Thanks Simon!
I did this tour a few years ago and it was quite interesting.
I don’t think they would have cut the rope to wake up the sleeping people. That would have been an unnecessary expense. Untie the rope and it lasts indefinitely, cut the rope and it gets shorter, and eventually you need a new one. Rope wasn’t a cheap item to buy, so I don’t think they would have cut it. Just a point, love your video’s Joolz.
Do you have any tips for creepy/weird museums in London?💀
Took a tour guide of Jack the Ripper last December and it was soooo interesting!🤔
Love your channel btw!❤
Thanks! Well, yes, have you tried this museum? It's very weird and a bit creepy th-cam.com/video/74JZCHpdUvI/w-d-xo.html
piaka56 What about the Horniman? Not creepy, but certainly weird.
I smiled when he mentioned Charles Cross. His real name was Charles Lechmere. Cross was the false name he gave at the inquest. The reason he was discovered standing over the body is because he was Jack the ripper.
Apparently the police at the time knew it was Kosminski but they couldn't take him to trial.
It was common to have false names. Mary Kelly had several.
It wasn't a fake name, he was living with his mother and step-father and was known by his name (Cross). He'd hardly give a false name and his real address would he?
I love your videos they're very interesting and great fun you're so funny.
That's a nice campfire song for all to join in, rather catchy bit.
He was more of a twitter guy 😂😂 that guy was funny. He made me laugh 😂
Really enjoyed this one! It's so haunting! Thanks! :)
Yes, it was hard work but worth it in the end!
I think this was well done, except that the photo of Elizabeth Stride at the 6:48 mark is NOT her. There are no photographs, with the exception of Annie Chapman, of the victims taken while they were alive that are known to exist. The spot where Dutfield's Yard used to stand is also slightly further more to the left.
I love the video as well as the music. Please continue on.......Joe D.
Great video love watching carry on the great work
