Lovely. I wish I could follow you around these London areas. I adore all types of history, and love to think about everything that happened in these parks and neighborhoods. It’s amazing how much there is to learn, and how much most of us have forgotten. Thank you, from Colorado!💙💙

[@paddyj7690]

aaah back in the days when you could venture out and go to pubs...

[@kellishero]

A lovely walk through time, it brings back memories of my time as a young policeman patrolling the area in the early 80s.

Thanks, Joolz, for brightening a rainy Sunday in New Jersey USA. Cheers!

Hi Mr Guides, I can personally recommend Pentonville prison I spent 14 happy weeks on B wing for some thing I never did and had my day in court, cor blimey honest guv, I ate from the excellent Kosher menu at great expense to the crown and I recommend the Cinnamon Chicken 10 out of 10. Avoid the showers at all costs B wing has a north easterly exposure over looking the Caledonian road excellent shops but sadly on release I got a funny look when I asked for a Daily Telegraph and was told "not round here mate" and the staff were so nice they let me keep the grey track suit and blue boxers and its that personal touch that makes nick in the smoke so much better than anywhere in the U.K.......Great film again Mr G.

He had the shop next door Steve really nice guy,brought the old pub his original shop was the Victoria sandwich bar,good breakfast in there decent sausages and bacon,joolz my dad would walk the cows up from kings cross when a kid up york way into market road then he would acquire bread from the abc bakery in Camden road then to fireman’s hill to meet the barges in the canal and grab the cream soda lol that canal fed my dad he said and his brothers lol very enjoyable joolz thank you sir

[@edwardgriffin8092]

Brilliant Joolz. I live in Romford, North East London (bourne here 63 years ago), and get a lot of inspiration for day trips with my grandchildren from your videos. We love sitting together, and watching your walks around London. So thank you Joolz from the bottom of our hearts :-) Please tell my Grandchildren that Grandad is allowed to have a pint on the way home, (as long as they get a Cola) ;-)

Thanks Joolz! My great-grandfather lived at the top of Rodney Street from 1880-1890, and moved afterwards to Claremont Square, so it was lovely to see what the place has got up to 130 years later!

[@thomasbarker6912]

As always, Joolz; very interesting and very entertaining. Long live Joolz!!!

[@Useaname]

My old stomping ground. I used to live in Milner Square. Stephen Fry lived around the corner and used to park his black cab outside his house. I was collecting jumble for a local charity one afternoon, I knocked on his door and he kindly gave me a Levis Red Tab demin jacket hanging in the hall. We auctioned it for £150.

[@maryannebrown2385]

I have always wondered about that word “jumble”. How did it come to mean items for a charity sale? Here in America the word is still used but we have totally lost connection with the origin. If something is a “jumble sale”, you just know it is second hand items with the proceeds meant for a charitable organization. We never use that word otherwise-for example, you said you were collecting jumble for a charity sale. We would say we were collecting donations (or donated items) for a jumble sale.

[@Useaname]

@@maryannebrown2385 its just one of those words that has grown to mean different things on either side of the pond. I guess collecting jumble, then selling said jumble just became "jumble sale". Although here people tend to use the word "jumble" less and less, when advertising a second hand goods sale for charity. They either use "pre-loved", or "second hand".

[@vilstef6988]

Stephen is a great person! I loved the documentary series he did taking his London Cab all around the US. One of the big hotels in my city has a London Cab which they use to pick up people from the airport. The primary driver showed me the cab when a group I belong to had an event at the hotel. I'm in the US midwest and I don't think most people here would know the charitable aspect of a jumble.

[@maryannebrown2385]

Gene Miller Really? I am also in the US Midwest (Chicago), and when I was little churches or other groups used to advertise they were holding a “jumble sale”. It didn’t mean jumble in the sense that everything was a disorganized mess, but that they were donated items to be sold for a program at the church or a charity. I have seen that that phrase has really pretty much fallen into disuse. I am in my mid 50’s, and I remember it from when I was little, but have not seen it used for many years.

[@vilstef6988]

@@maryannebrown2385 Hi! I'm in my 60s and grew up in NW Iowa. Never heard of jumble as a sale or for a charitable event until I was like in my 20s. I had family in Minnesota, and they had Used a bit shops where we called them Thrift shops. Lots of differences even regionally!

[@rose1971]

Good morning! Yes another fabulous video!!!!

[@frankbeesley5659]

Joolz! I was born in London (Brixton actually} during the war. Viewing your films, I now know more about London than I could ever imagine. I discovered "you" a couple of months ago and made it my mission to track down and view them all. I would dearly love to have a pint or three with you. I dont live in London these days, so it is very nostalgic.

[@Calcouk]

Most enjoyable video. Lots of interesting stuff, "even if yoo ain't fwom Landan". Good production, great relaxed vibe, and lovely autumn colours too.

[@cbarnett2112]

Brilliant! Another wonderful stroll with Joolz, Lou, and Simon! Thanks again for making my Sunday morning. Love the walk through Barnsbury! I followed you via my A-Z map and was able to find each place and street. looking forward to seeing some of it myself, someday soon. Love the OF&H references! Big fan of the Rodders and ole Del-Boy! Ta!

[@jaddae6357]

I discovered that movie about a year ago; it is without a doubt, my favorite of the year, and I don't care for alien monster movies, but "Attack the Block" is brilliant! That is so cool about the clown eggs...I recognize Emmett Kelly there. Thanks for all the interesting history...as per normal.😊

[@vilstef6988]

Attack on the Block is probably one of the best low budget SF movies I've ever seen. It had a good tone of humor and seriousness, and a cast who could carry it off.

[@renaissance6745]

Superb Julian this is a really fine episode most enjoyable just a couple of points on the Clowns I have been going to the clown convention every February for over 40 years at Holy Trinity Dalston , until a few years ago a dreadful woman priest took that church over and started interfering big time in the the Clowns convention she has now gone thank God [pun intended] , it then moved to a church in Haggerston and I have been to only one of those 5 years ago the area was deeply depressing and I just couldn't feel like going back there again, there was a small Museum at the Holy Trinity venue that housed the Eggheads of the various clowns as you described. The other point was my Favourite joke that you told of the clown with depression going to the Doctor, this was used in I believe one of the Hancock radio shows Hancock's Half Hour , and it was definitely not Grimaldi used in that joke it was Grock the Clown, that sounds so much better when telling the joke , but apart from that keep up the good work your offerings are so so full of deportment and interests and it's long overdue that you were on BBC television instead of those idiots on The One Show , you are more BBC4 material , I think everyone watching your efforts should to write to the BBC and tell them how superb you , until your next great offering all the best and regards, you know who I am

That's very kind. Yes, I wasn't sure about the clown joke but it worked all the same. Feel free to write to the BBC, that would be great!
