If you added a map at the beginning of each video of the streets that you walked during the video it would be so helpful for tourists.

[@eileendoherty5317]

Just do it yourself on Google Earth. Thats what I do if I'm not sure where he is.

[@cazadoo339]

Yes please

[@patricksanders858]

Yes please Joolz?! So helpfull to orient my old memories with your location!

I mentioned seeing the video when I visited the Pie and Mash shop. The lady was so thrilled to be a "You Tube Star" ....

Always a sterling job Jools! Nothing makes me want to wander around London town more than your vlogs!

[@velvetraptor8540]

Jules, you are just too much. London is the most fascinating city in the world. Just got back and had an amazing time. It's the kind of place where a perfect stranger can roam around Hyde Park not even knowing there's a palace on one end. Yes, a palace which was showing a GREAT and UNUSUAL exhibit of Victoria's clothes. That's what is great about London. You will find amazing stuff BY ACCIDENT. Just get out of the tube and walk around. Maybe next time we really will have Indian dinner together.

[@stevendaniel5649]

Joolzy! You look stunning in your summer costume. Great look !!!! If I were rich, you would be my guide to everything British. Thank you..........

[@prepperjonpnw6482]

Oh it’s not a costume lol It’s his summer attire or wardrobe lol I doubt he would be offended by his clothing being referred to as a “costume” but kindness and good manners dictates that we refer to his clothing as either his outfit or his attire. lol And yes I’m playing about with you lol. Your comment is wonderful and well meaning. Cheers mate

Loved the ladies at the end. Real London characters. Bless em!

I get so much enjoyment from your Vidios, I think I have seen nearly every one, but you have made so many, so I guess to be honest I am working through them. I am a Londoner and was born in St John's Wood in 1929 now living in Sydney Australia since 1966, I have a Son Anthony age 63 who lives in Perth, he is coming over Dec 12th for abought 8 weeks or longer. I have recommended that he watch your Videos. Keep up the good work. You passed the house we lived in from 1960 to 1966 at 12 Stafford Terrace Kensington,, Where my son was Born.

[@brainwaiver1]

Oh fer God's sake....after 20 years all over London, this Clactonian left and never looked back. That was fifty years ago. Wound up in good ol' USA. Your videos make me nostalgic and your sense of humor is full of tonic. Gin up and keep going.

[@atbailey]

Thoroughly enjoyable, Joolz. An absolute classic! As an EastEnder who left for the colonies many years ago (and misses it terribly), I love it when you meander to the East side of our fair city. Can't remember the last time yonder was uttered in an EC postcode, lol!

[@judywhittlesey4010]

I'm not sure,should I feel bad for you or call you a Nutter? LOL (I hope I understand the use of this word in 🇬🇧.) 🇺🇸👵 here, dreaming to see London East End, or any part of the UK! This is my first time viewing this channel. I love it!!! How about YOU?

Julian, thank you so much for putting in the historic old engravings of the sites we're looking at, then showing us the site now. It's really special to see what the site/building looked like, then to see it now! So thanks for thinking of doing that for us!! It's just amazing to see!

I absolutely love London, I have been many times, thank you Joolz! 😃

43 years ago , I cycled to work from Fortune Green in West Hampstead to Old Street for work . There weren't many of us cycling then . I don'r reconise the area surrounding Old Street station now . Even the 1960's building I worked in has made way for high rise . I'm glad to see the old shops have been preserved .

The gel is a byproduct of simmering the eel in a hot broth. When it cools, some of the mixture solidifies.

The Honourable Artillery Company behind Bunhill Fields cemetery is well worth a look and it does indeed have a huge playing field that you would not think could exist in the City.

Hi Joolz , the eels used to be delivered to these premises when they were still alive and kept out at the back of the premises. On rainy days they would often escape and be found wriggling off down Horton Street.

Great video Julzey - these are my favourite type of video that you do, where you immerse yourself in both the history and the 'character' of a pocket of London. It might be too late to do this year now, but an idea possibly for a future Summer video - a Joolz Summer Holiday Special, visiting one of the standard locations Londoners would have visited for their Summer holidays (Brighton / Blackpool / Southend etc.) come the boom of the railways, to "do the history", a la the London tours, of what thy would have done and what's there now. Stupid idea? ...Maybe.
