Albermarle Street to Belgravia - Conspiracy Murder and Scandal all in one of London's most interesting walks with Julian McDonnell from Joolz Guides. Starting in Mayfair.
Albemarle Street -
Royal Institute - Michael Farday gave the first of the famous Christmas lectures in the famous auditorium in 1825.
Faraday discovered electromagnetic rotation here leading to the electric motor too.
1876 - Along the street at Brown’s Hotel, Alexander Graham-Bell made the first long distance phone call. Rudyard Kipling finished The Jungle Book here too.
Other famous patrons included Conan Doyle, Oscar Wilde, JM Barrie, Agatha Christie, Theodore and FD Roosevelt.
No. 13 was The Albemarle Club where Oscar Wilde was accused of Posing as a Sodomite by the Marquis of Queensbury. Father of Lord Alfred Douglas.
50 Albemarle Street - Scandal
Publishers have been based here through ten generations all called John Murray from 1762 - 2002
They were also Lord Byron’s publisher. He became famous with his poem “Child Harold’s Pilgrimage"
Byron died in Greece in 1824 having become hugely famous but in his latter years became associated with scandal, sodomy, bigamy, incest and a tangled love life making him a romantic hero.
Fighting against the Ottomans in the Greek war of independence.
His life too immoral to be buried at Westminster Abbey
Byron entrusted his memoirs to Thomas Moore his poet mate.
But John Murray ii was so shocked by the diaries he thought they were too scandalous to be published and burned them here in the fireplace!
Berkeley Square
The plane trees were planted in 1789 oldest in London
1747 - no 44 William Kent House - Clermont Club where Lord "Lucky" Lucan was due to meet friends in 1974
Beau Brummel entertained there too.
The Lansdowne Club was where Harry Gordon Selfridge lived.
Curzon Street
Half Moon Street was where Jeeves lives for access to clubs of Pall Mall and Mayfair in P.G. Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster.
Shepherd’s Market was the location of the original May Fair. Riotous fairs took place every May but banned in 1764 because of complaints from residents.
Beau Brummel lived at no.4
Trumpers - Hair dresser George Trumper opened it in the late 19th Century, and it retains the original mahogany cubicles and glass display cabinets.. for the discerning gentleman.
Perfumes like Astor, Wellington Curzon Spanish Leather
Selection of canes, umbrellas, cuff links gentleman’s goods
Hyse Park Corner
Byron statue - Somewhat abandoned much like he was by the British. Used to be visible before all the streets were built.
The pink pedestal was donated by the Greek Government in 1888 as gratitude for his help in the war.
His dog by his side called Boatswain died of rabies
It was designed by Richard Claude Belt who won a libel case for not sculpting his own work
Achilles statue
First nude statue in London erected in 1822 - dedicated to Wellington and cast from guns captured at Waterloo.
Fig leaf put there to spare he blushes of ladies
Apsley House
Apsley House was built in 1770s for Lord Apsley
Home of Duke of Wellington who defeated Napoleon at Waterloo and after whom we get Wellington boots.
It's called Number 1 London because it was the first house on entering through Knightsbridge tollgate
Inside is a nude statue of Napoleon which Napoleon didn’t like and it was purchased by the British Government from the French as a gift to Wellington.
46 Lwr Belgrave Street - Conspiracy and murder in Belgravia
Scene of a bloody murder which sparked one of the most famous man-hunts in recent history.
Richard John Bingham, 7th Earl of Lucan was an aristocrat and professional gambler and playboy who liked fast cars champagne and women.
1963 he married Veronica Duncan and had 3 children.
Marriage broke down in 1972 he moved out of the family home. Then one night the nanny was found murdered in the basement.
Lucan’s wife was also attacked and she claimed it was Lord Lucan.
Lucan borrowed a friend’s car and drove to Sussex to see a friend
Later it was found abandoned in Newhaven with the bloody lead piping in the boot.
Lucan was never seen again. It’s fascinated the British public for years.
People still claim to have had sightings of him but the police maintain that he’s missing presumed dead..
The star tavern - Belgravia
Where the great train robbery was planned
Ronald Biggs was thee most famous and escaped to Brasil...

I am not stalking you, I have visited England 5 times , in London I did manage to take a bus tour and visit the inside of Buckingham Palace , as well as going north to Liverpool. My problem is that I had to sacrifice visiting the many places in London and the rest of England ,to tour Europe.Being Canadian we were raised to acknowledge Britain, The Queen being the head of our government and her image was on most Canadian currency. We also watched British television The Avengers , On the Buses, also The Carry on Movies etc and don't forget The Beatles. I want to return with my girl spend 6 weeks , meet you etc.

I was the neighbor of Lady Lucan for two years when I lived at 5 Eaton Square. The entrance to my ground floor flat was from Eaton Mews, just opposite St Peters, and her house door was next to my garden door. I saw that she died quite recently committing suicide wrongly believing she was terminally ill. Very tragic. She was nice but reserved.

Love your videos and have been binge watching over the last couple of weeks. I was in London (from Canada) with my mom in 1967 and we had a wonderful time. Being only 11 I can't remember all the places we visited but Buckingham palace, Windsor Castle, the museum and that big toy store where I purchased a then new Spirograph which I sitll have. And since it is highly unlikely I will ever have the opportunity to return , your videos are near as good as being there BUt if I do I'll be calling for a tour. .I do have to make a correction to something you stated in this video about the first long distance call being made from the Browns Hotel in 1877. . That was in fact the first telephone call in the UK. The very first long distance phone call was made by Alexander Graham Bell from his home in Brantford Ont Canada , 13 kilometres , to the nearby town of Paris Ontario, on August 10th, 1876.

@@Joolzguides According to the routledge dictionary glimjack was mid 17 century London slang for "a thief operating at night". The song describes those boys lighting the way guiding the rich through the streets and taking their money.

Blackadder: I believe, sir, that the Doctor is trying to tell you that he is happy because he has finished his book. It has apparently taken him ten years. Prince George: Yes, well, I'm a slow reader myself.

May I correct one comment....Brown's hotel was not the site of the "first long distance phone call." The first overseas phone call perhaps,..??.. but the first long distance was made on Feb. 12 1877 when Bell from Salem MA, called Watson in Boston.

In a documentary on what happened that night, he's on the boat, saying that he'll go back and confess, but his companions on the boat, now involved, didn't want him to. Lucan insisted on turning himself in, so one of the men on the boat, to protect their own reputations now, shot him dead. So it's thought he was murdered, which is why his body hasn't been found. If he had committed suicide, his body would have been discovered, as you can't hide your own body once you're dead.

FYI: Lord Lucan was officially declared dead in 2016 by the court and his son can now inherit the title as the new Lord Lucan. He's never been found, dead or alive, but it has been over 40 years so he's probably not watching this video.

Ha ha! Yes, I actually mentioned something about that when filming but edited it out because I wasn't certain. I knew there was something to do with his son inheriting. .... but you just never know! I like to think he's a massive fan of Joolz Guides sitting on a beach in Brazil.

Apparently he's known as Lord Bingham. He went to court to get his dad declared dead so he could inherit the title, but I wonder if he's really going to use it much? Maybe in another 10 or 20 years the title won't be so notorious and his family can start using it again. www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-35481376

@Joolzguides 6 жыл бұрын
Yes..Clumsy. I know.... I wanted to fade it into the real shot of the building but I filmed it from the wrong angle so rather than going back and filming again I thought I'd just reverse the print and no one would notice.... BUT THAT WASN'T ACCOUNTING FOR JOHN USHER!!! Yes...it looks like a mistake.. I think the writing gives it away.

I edited my high school yearbook, back in the pre-digital day when we used film, and we would always have these gits who didn't notice they'd reversed photos of people wearing t-shirts with big lettering all over the front... backwards. :)
