My grandmother was a lollipop lady on the Abbey Road zebra crossing just a few years before The Beatles made it famous. She had told me for years about her job as a lollipop lady in the 60's next to a recording studio in London and daily seeing many famous singers of that time on their way in to record albums. It wasn't until the early 90s when she was retelling the story I realised she was talking about Abbey Road crossing. And yes, she confirmed it was indeed Abbey Road crossing she worked on. She literally had no idea how famous the crossing had become and knew nothing about it featuring on the front cover of The Beatles album. I only wish I had a photo of her standing on that crossing, but sadly I don't. It's always worth listening carefully when grandparents tell you about the things they did before you were born!😂
Yay, a new Joolz Guide - I've watched all the rest of them at least two or three times already so it's great to have another (the Christmas song I've watched at least 20 times!) - Joolz and Simon are a hilarious double act, and Joolz could easily have a career singing as well - anyway, just spent 10 minutes trying to work out how to spell "mackerel" without the letter "a" - until I realised that "station" is not included in this game
You always do such a smashing job. There is a wonderful fello from Los Angeles who also does an informative walking tours of that city, but of course, nothing can compare to London. I wholeheartedly agree with Samuel Johnson who said “when a man is tired of London he is tired of life.”
I lived in LA from ‘57 until 2000. I remember “Ralph Story’s Los Angeles”. But that was way back when and not anything current. If interested, there are a few videos here on YT by Ralph Story. Gary, I too am interested to know of the “wonderful fellow”.
@@paulmcdonough1093 I would rather live in London than Liverpool, but I am from New York which makes it difficult to live anywhere else. It is one of the greatest cities in the world. Not the easiest place to live, but everything is here. Expensive.
An abundance of interest in this St.John's Wood film, Joolz. So much associated with the British music industry makes it a very desired area indeed. Most of the buildings are of exceedingly grand architecture. Many thanks indeed for this very well documented presentation.
It was only yesterday when I thought that it was about time that Hooks posted one of his excellent Guides.. Keep up the great work you're much appreciated by many.
A right musical video today! Absolutely thrilling to see, Joolz. I've never made it to Abbey Road or explored St John's Wood, I'll have to visit on my next visit to London.
In Australia, all post boxes are red and have "Australia Post" on the side. My first overseas trips were to Papua new Guinea and Canada. All post boxes are fred. Some time later I went to France and all post boxes are blue.
It was great seeing my old home in this video!!! Lived in St. Johns Wood for four years! I lived down the road from Drunch, my best friend lived on Acacia Road, and I crossed Abbey Road every day to get to school on Abercorn Place!!
Fantastic Joolz I've lived and worked in this area for many years - but of course I didn't have a clue about the existence more than of half of these facts. Great stuff 👍👍
Hi! Another lovely video! It’s funny as my Townshend ancestors in South Carolina live in Blenheim ( a tiny town) and in Marlborough county…. I notice on the map of St. John’s Wood there are street names of Blenheim and Marlborough…. I love seeing the Townshend Estate 😉💕 I plan to take a cruise on the canal to Camden and check out the view you showed of Primrose Hill in mid - January 2023😊
I was sauntering the streets of Hammersmith last week visiting the Dr The Rik Mayall memorial bench Didn’t get to see the man the myth the legend Joolz though 😂👍🏻
Thanks for reminding of Primrose Hill, it could be starting point for our London Saturday roam in three weeks time. 🧐 Thanks for the video, great as always. 👍
Some day I hope to take a trip to London. Until then, I do always appreciate your perspective, Joolz. You have a way of looking at life with an open mind.
St Johns Wood High Street is one of my favourite roads in London. The only issue is that I feel very class conscious when I walk past the very wealthy patrons sipping Cappuccinos outside trendy cafes and boutiques.
I saw SuperTed live in the 1980’s at the Brighton Dome! All I can remember was that Victor Spinetti who played Texas Pete was in it! Brilliant videos as ever Joolz ❤
50 years of spending time with close family in SJW all so familiar will be visiting next week.I have to say learned so many other things watching this.I didnt know that chapel was behind the hospital will need to go and have a look.Great video.
Hello Julian how have u been?. Is great to see u doing well. It is 11.45 pm Sunday now in Singapore instead of sleeping i am watching u 🤣 thank u so much for sharing with us your wonderful experience there in Saint John's Wood. Keep the videos coming in. I be patiently waiting.
Marvellous. The best video about Saint John's wood I have ever seen. You manage to find funny stories...so it is not only watching a video. We do have a great time. Congratulation. There is another reason for me to like it so much. When I spent a time in London I used to go to Saint John's Wood almost every day. So nice to see again these beautiful streets.
Just looked up the SuperTed intro on YT. (far fetched much - but love it! 😂) "This is a story about an ordinary teddy bear... When he was made, they found something wrong with him... And threw him away like a piece of rubbish into an old dark storeroom... Then, from outer space, a spotty man, brought him to life with his cosmic dust! He took him to a magic cloud where Mother Nature gave him special powers... That bear became SUPERTED!"
e gad, this brought back some long memories from me, i used to live with my mum and dad in Townsend estate in the 1970-1990's, was back their last month and it's all changed...
Joolz great as usual, but you missed the fact at the bottom of St. John’s high street, is Hanover house, this house was the house of Jeff Randall in Randall and hopkirk deceased!
I've never seen a red London postbox in NZ - but I live in Auckland, so maybe they're in the provinces. Though, all things British have become politically unfashionable in these fair isles... which is why I love it when a new Joolz Guides vid pops up in my feed!

Great video as ever Joolz, thank you. I was brought up in outer London (no longer there) and will forever love London and think of it as home. Your videos always remind me that it's not all doom and gloom back home as it often comes across in the media.
It's was great to chat to you earlier! After I returning to my home on Abbey Rd, I straight away came to watch this episode. It is very informative and fun as always! 👏👏👏
I remember when the milkman had horse drawn floats that we rode on, the horse didn't need to be told when to stop it followed the milkman stopping at the houses that needed milk.
Excellent content as usual Joolz but sad not to see a mention of the former Portland Arms pub now masquerading as a French Cafe called Soutine. I was resident there in the early 1970's when it was used to accomodate both England and visiting cricket team whilst playing Test Matches down the road at Lords. Later when new fire regulations prohibited the pubs use as a hotel for paying guests it became accommodation for senior management of Bass Charringtons Brewery whilst working in London. Regular visitors to the pub included Dennis Waterman who played darts there on Saturday lunchtime (Ham sandwiches and a pint of Light & Bitter), Joe Gormley from the NUM whilst doing battle with the Government, many well known actors and occasional visitors from Abbey Road studios. Has since been a wine bar, a Carluccios amongst others.
No mention of two of the most beautiful and largest synagogues in London, both of which Joolz walks by numerous times during the walking tour. The older New London Synagogue, the original St Johns Wood synagogue , on Abbey Road which dates back to the early 20th century, or the newer synagogue, built in the 1960's, in Grove End Road, opposite the Hospital of St. John and Elizabeth (where he shows the chapel), London's largest synagogue, where British Chief Rabbis are inducted, and which just recently hosted the formal UK Jewish memorial service to Her Majesty the Queen. This synagogue has over 100 David Hillman stain glass windows, one of the most amazing collections of stain glass windows - especially synagogue windows, anywhere in London, let aone the world - and which are one of Londons most secret architectural heritages.
Surprised that you didn't visit the old St John's Wood Police Station at twenty and a half Newcourt Street. One of only a handful of places to have a half in its address.
Good stuff Jules some great stories. St Marylebone Borough stole the southern bit of Kilburn and called it St Johns Wood/ Maida Vale 😜. Current Westminster/ Camden border is Boundary Rd/ Greville Place (Gilbert Bayes) - he designed the relief wall at Lord's. Check your facts on old Marlborough Rd Met station it became part of the Underground with the formation of London Transport in the 1930s and was never part of the TUBE. It was part of the old Met line or railway that ran to the Stanmore branch. The Bakerloo line tube was dug in the late 1930s from Baker St to Finchley Rd and became the Stanmore branch of the Bakerloo line , with your fav new station at St John's Wood and another at Swiss Cottage. John Betjeman used to stop at Marlborough Rd station to visit his fiancée. See his film Metroland with his take on St Johns Wood😜. From 'One Kilburn' , Brent , Camden and Westminster councils . One stream ( Kilbourne or Westbourne) , divided by 3 boroughs, 2 MPs and 3 London Assembly Members 😔
@@guymorris6596 it’s benson and hedges cigarettes. They were popular in the past when smoking was more common. Some consider them to be quite low classy or “chavvy”, you could say, so this phrase sounds funny to some and also brings back memories for others.
You never talk about when Mars invaded and cause such a lot of damage. I know the first craft landed in Horsell Commons, but they did reach London I believe.
Love the history and lovely old homes and greenery. Wonder if there's any new looking suburban neighborhoods like we have in LA strip malls and fast food joints and Wal-Mart's with big parking lots.
Cricket Rules (by Joolz Guides): There is two teams: one’s in and one’s out. Then the team that’s out has to get the team in out, and then after you’ve got all the people in out then the team that was out has to go in and get the team that was out now in out. It’s simple, and then you do that for five days and in the end the Aussies win basically.
Keith richards had flat in the block on the corner of carlton hill and marlborough hill opposite kynaston school ,i know because i went to school there and saw the stones and entourage turn up there more than once .😂😂
3:34 I know that I'm just a commoner from the Colonies but I used to watch BananaMan in my youth, as I believe the local public access tele channel had been given some of the content in the mid-80s. I didn't watch it when it debuted, but a few years after 16:43 in at least one of the modern episodes of Dr Who, as was a one of the Bond movies, this exact little milk lorry is used. I'm sure they've been used in countless other British shows. But being from the Colonies I didn't get as much British tele as you blokes
Julian, you're such a creative and superb commentator, I think you should start a new channel where you comment on anything, any place on earth - food, inventions, clothes, cars, different countries... You can get sponsors to sponsor your trips. Eg. France Tourism Board, airlines, hotels, theme parks, restaurants etc. Seriously. I want to watch you comment on anything. You've got an amazing talent.
The '70s were my St Johns Wood days. A lot has changed. No more Red House on the roundabout. No more Portland Arms on the High St... I expect The New Inn has gone (I still have a low bar stool of theirs). No more Bedford College with a Students Union bar to play in and sometimes drink in and a hall where proper bands that you'd heard of played.
The sand of the desert is sodden red Red with the wreck of a square that broke The Gatlings jammed and the Colonel dead, And the regiment blind with dust and smoke The river of death has brimmed his banks, And Englands far, and Honour a name, But the voice of a schoolboy rallies the ranks: Play up! Play up! And play the game! The poem of empire don’t you think? And the stories a true one. “Form a square” was often the refrain when far from home and outnumbered. Is was at Waterloo as well as Sudan. My great grandfather fought in Sudan, The Boer war, and lost his life in WW1 on The Somme, he was a highland piper.

Re church at
St John's wood,
is the Church of the Poisoned Mind.
Not a lotta people known that.
His pronunciations is healthy to be reached and bought for the English learners undoubtedly.
I'm from Tooting and now live in New Zealand....
What would I do without the wonderfull Joolz guides.

Crossing is the operative word, not jay-walking, or obstructing the road.
I especially enjoy the bit where I'm having a beer with Julian and Simon. Thanks for sharing a table with me!
Are you banana man

Always fantastic to watch. Simon does a great job with the camera!
An excellent end to a Sunday! Thanks Jules, for the tour around this part of my beloved London!
Always glad to see a Joolz Guides. Mention of Banana man and super ted but no mention of Danger Mouse even though you talked about Penfold twice!
That's a good point!! He will have to wait until Bake Street!!
@@Joolzguides Thanks for the reply! And just realised their headquarters was a postbox!
Haven't seen you for ages, so it's lovely to see this. Thank you.
Maybe you need to hit the bell. Apparently TH-cam doesn't notify subscribers that I have a new video unless you hit the bell notification

Yes 1st thing I thought of, must of been named after him surely!
Danger Mouse ?

There is a very lovely little ballad on a Masters' Apprentices album that is called St. John's Wood

You can get sponsors to sponsor your trips. Eg. France Tourism Board, airlines, hotels, theme parks, restaurants etc. Seriously. I want to watch you comment on anything. You've got an amazing talent.
The '70s were my St Johns Wood days. A lot has changed. No more Red House on the roundabout. No more Portland Arms on the High St... I expect The New Inn has gone (I still have a low bar stool of theirs). No more Bedford College with a Students Union bar to play in and sometimes drink in and a hall where proper bands that you'd heard of played.
The sand of the desert is sodden red
Red with the wreck of a square that broke
The Gatlings jammed and the Colonel dead,
And the regiment blind with dust and smoke
The river of death has brimmed his banks,
And Englands far, and Honour a name,
But the voice of a schoolboy rallies the ranks:
Play up! Play up! And play the game!
The poem of empire don’t you think? And the stories a true one. “Form a square” was often the refrain when far from home and outnumbered. Is was at Waterloo as well as Sudan. My great grandfather fought in Sudan, The Boer war, and lost his life in WW1 on The Somme, he was a highland piper.
Jools I do love your videos, you make me want to come to London, I live down in deepest Dorset, please do a Halloween special
As we all use email, will there be any new post boxes? And if so will they have Charles 3rd marked on them?
They will, as old ones wear out.
Love your Dixieland Music, no offense to your sister Joolz hint hint.....!
