    I should point out that in England the law only requires us to wear masks when inside (in case you were wondering).

      Oh well, get over it people.... weigh it up; Joolz' videos bring us much needed distraction and entertainment during these depressing, unecessary and damaging times. I would pay his bond anytime for being out and about, with or with out a mask, as it would be money well spent 💜 just saying, like.

Some people got fed up with her music because she jumped around styles. whenever she was walking down Madison in these shoes thinking about the days or dreaming about a new England watching England win 2 - 0 against Colombia in Soho Square she was alway's interesting.

      ​@marcus price She was a talented singer, songwriter. Her death is not as some people think in Mexico the 41year-old daughter of folk singer Ewan MacColl was struck by a speedboat while swimming off the coast, she swam in front of a speedboat to save one of her children.
      *From Wikipedia.*
      The powerboat involved in the collision was controlled by Guillermo González Nova, multimillionaire president of the Comercial Mexicana supermarket chain, who was on board with members of his family. The boat was owned by Carlos González Nova, brother and founder of the chain. One employee of Guillermo González Nova, boathand José Cen Yam, stated that he was in control of the boat at the time of the incident. Eyewitnesses said that Cen Yam was not at the controls and that the boat was travelling much faster than the speed of one knot that González Nova said.
      Cen Yam was found guilty of culpable homicide and was sentenced to 2 years 10 months in prison. He was allowed under Mexican law to pay a punitive fine of 1,034 pesos (about €63, £61 or US$90) in lieu of the prison sentence. He was also ordered to pay approximately US$2,150 in restitution to MacColl's family, an amount based on his wages. People who said they spoke to Cen Yam after the killing said he received money for taking the blame.

    I just wanted to offer our deepest thanks to you Jools, you have been a lifeline to my partner and I during this horrible year. Your guides have allowed us to wander with you around our beloved London, whilst stuck isolated at home.
    Both being old enough that the lack of public toilets has curtailed our freedom to explore, we love to follow you around familiar and new places, as though with a knowlegable friend.
    Thanks again and please keep posting.
    Ps a guide to toilets would be a welcome addition.

He was chairman of the Finchley Society and intervened when Barnet Council decided they were going to demolish a beautiful 18th century building, to make some dough on luxury flats. The old place is still there in Nether St and looks like it could have come straight out of a fairy tale. Think it's called the Gate House. Thanks, Spike and Joolz.

    Didn't know about the Kirsty MacColl bench, I shall check it out one day... many fond memories of Soho Square, used to chill out there before gigs at the much missed Astoria with a couple of beers and maybe, ahem, a 'funny cigarette' or two! These days, at my age, it's more of a place to sit with a lunchtime sandwich...

    I looked up the story of Roberto Calvi, the swinging fellow found underneath Blackfriars Bridge and it’s quite intriguing. Good lead for the macabre!

    • @Nog311

      I would recommend that Joolz does a story on the Masons and asks about Roberto Calvi and Propaganda Due. Now that would be worth a watch.

    Great video as always! Helps me get my London fix from afar. Just wanted to mention that in a Charles Dickens biography I read( by Clare Tomlinson I think) It mentions that Charles worked as a young man in boot blacking factory, which you have also mention in a previous film, but here he met a good friend called Fagan. Maybe this is the Fagan mentioned in the plaque?! The ‘real’ one.
    Thanks again Jools. I’d like to meet your taylor!

    I love your videos, I would love to go to London but am not in a position where I ever think I could afford to travel overseas. When I saw the title of your video it bought a big smile to my face because videos made by people leave out the little details, the things you notice walking around a new place that are really cool but you wouldn't go only to the location for
