A Queens Park Paradise by Way of Kensal Green - London Walk

[@SaucyJack88]

The London government should be paying this man for advertising their city so well. Every time I see a Joolz Guides video I feel that itch to visit London again.

On this extremely windy Storm Bert Sunday, it is lovely to spend time inside being guided around London by Joolz and co!

[@kevins2875]

I love when you stop in the local businesses. The pies looked fantastic.

[@johnhoward2402]

My mum came from Kensal Town, and my dad from Kilburn Lane. I was brought up in nearby Barlby Road What an absolute treat that was. Thank you Joolz!

[@barrybyrne6478]

Used to live in Queen's Park know it well. Great history didn't know half of it and the pie shop looks great.

Oh that Kensal Green Cemetery...I have the dubious honors of being locked in with my mate as we stayed beyond the opening hours.

[@Mike_Spilligan]

Congratulations to the young married couple🥂🍾

[@lotuselise4432]

At 27:09 I had a mate back in the day that owned one of those houses, jeez they where small.

Kensal Rise Cemetery is an amazing place, actually pre-Victorian by some years, opened during the reign of William IV (1830-37) I think its the largest of 'The Seven'

[@jono1006363]

Thank you for getting me through covid. I’m from Australia and I’ve been to London in 2006 and 2014. I love English history and it’s my dream to return again but watching your videos has got me by.

[@jemc4276]

Wonderful episode Julian & Simon. I lived in Queens Park on Chevening Road in my first flat when I moved to London (from Australia) in 1997. Very happy and fond memories of that area. I absolutely love that park, it's where I saw my first ever squirrel.... 🥰

[@richardrosen6453]

Seriously !!

[@ffrancrogowski6263]

Another lovely part of London, Joolz. The architecture of the buildings in the area is great. Grand visits particularly to the cemetary, the wine outlet, the pie shop and crystal emporium. Many thanks for the showing.

[@dudafigueiredo5832]

Hello Joolz! How are u? I Hope all nice... I am Brazilian and I've discovered your Channel few days ago , me and my mother watch and we love to see the borough in UK, love your clothes, hat and your smile, you are elegant. GodBless. ThankYou.

[@heatherstephens9295]

Those pies look AMAZING 🤤🤤 Great to see Mr Stuart being recognised, his exploration of the middle of Australia on horseback is legendary 🤩🤩

[@gavinhughes5399]

Another very poignant trip around my former stomping grounds. As a QPR fan it was lovely to see the references to where the team originated and as my Dad had been a guide at Kensal Green cemetery the walk around the monuments and gravestones bought back many happy memories. Shame you didn't have time to mention the Dissenter's Chapel but being so big KGC could get an entire Jules show of its own.

[@howdan1985]

Joolz, Simon : Thank you for another fascinating London adventure - Perfect rainy Sunday viewing. Love it.

[@casbalond7676]

I lived around that area for 6 years back in the 90s loved it

This is INSANE! NO WAY! I stayed in Queens Park last month while in London. Can you imagine how thrilled I am? I was only a block away from the Queens Park station. AWESOME! I would have loved his last month. Thanks Joolz. One day I hope I see you and thank you for all these videos.

Just remembered the very underrated actress/singer Julie Covington was brought up in this area of London. Shame I don't or anyone I know could tell her about this lovely tribute to her part of "home".

[@albert21able]

I lived in Salusbury Road from the age of 0 from 1954, I went to Salisbury Road school, and Mum would take me to Queens Park Grand Stand to watch the Majic man, and Punch and Judy show, I still walk in Queens Park with my dog aged 70.

[@hackertime5125]

hi Joolz, i lived in queens park from 1978 to 1990. went to school there, grew up there, made life long friends there.

[@UnbelievableEricthegiraffe]

I lived just up the road in Harlesden in the early 1990s. I used to take the number 18 bus down Harrow Road to my job next to Marylebone Station. Queen's Park looks a bit better than it did then. Once, we visited a rundown-looking house in Kensal Green where Bob Marley lodged in the 1970s. Apparently, it's available to rent for £1000 a month. And one last observation: Lily Allen now lives in New York. I saw her in one of the so-called traditional delis earlier in the summer. Those types of delis that consider loud and ill-mannered staff and regulars all part of the ambiance. 😮

[@ianmckay1780]

Joolz, I love your video's. They remind me of the "good old days". I no longer live in London, so it is a treat to see some of the parts of London that I saw last in 1975. Thanks for all the work you do much appreciated!

Thanks Joolz for reviving 50 years of memories. I grew up in Kensal Rise, Buller Road actually. My American wife and I left the UK in '72 after moving to Watford for 4 years. Apart from the stores not much else seems to have changed. Most of it is still as I remember it. The beer is on me. :)

The shot of the mosque at 3mins, used to be our synagogue. The Ark Franklin school used to be Harvist Rd school. I was there from 1947 to 1952. I went back there this year, and had a good welcome and look around. Very little change physically. I was invited back to talk to the students to talk about school life in the old days. Highlight of my visit. Some years ago Chamberlayne Rd was voted by one of the top magazines as the hippest street in Europe. Thanks Joolz for a great tour. Barry Lennox

Those pies look absolutely delish!😋🤗 What a lovely area! It's so fascinating how so many London areas manage to keep a look and feel of a largish village even in in one of the most modern cities in the world! I really look forward to your offerings!😁👍

[@michaelaaylott1686]

I’ve never been to Kensal Green, but was curious about it after reading Middlesex by John Betjeman where he talks about Perivale and Greenford being full of hayfields and mayfields in the old days, and “cockney singers, cockney shooters, Murray Poshes, Lupin Pooters, long in Kensal Green and Highfield silent under soot and stone.” So thank you so much🥰

[@hopefulmelancholy7514]

Just seeing this now after the notification. I'm so glad to see you outside and about the green London trees. From what I can see in others comments this wasn't filmed recently I guess but that's okay. You are one of the best and most engaging guides I've ever seen. Also glad to hear the wonderful Tom Carradine singing again. Thank you to Joolz, Simon, Lou, etc for showing us all these parts of London. You are a treasure.

[@PurpleTT99]

Wonderful vid thanks Joolz. I particularly like it when you insert an old map or photo and give us the "then & now" comparison. Adds a lot, more of this please!

Me too. I filmed it in the summer and had to return for extra bits in the same outfit now it’s freezing!

[@darganx]

It's a shame the Masons Arms on Harrow Road has closed.. I'm not much of a pub goer but it was a great meeting spot with an eclectic mix of people. I hope it's revived soon and not knocked down for housing like everywhere else in London. That small stretch of Harrow Road is full of boundaries - in less than a mile between Willesden Junction station and the Kilburn Lane/Ladbroke Grove crossroad you can find yourself in the London Boroughs of Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham and Westminster. Also on Salusbury Road you missed the first house in NW London with electric lighting from the 1880s, just further up from the Library.

[@philipwhitty2838]

[@hanwellianben]

My legacy to Queen's Park is the CPZ around Queen's Park! The area surrounding the park is in CPZ Zone KQ (Kilburn, Queen's Park), which is made up of all the roads that lie in between Chevening Road in the North, Salusbury Road in the East, Harvist Road in the South and Chamberlayne Road in the West. Except there is one - and only one - road where there is an exception! In 1999, when the KQ CPZ went live, I was living in Winchester Avenue and was the local resident who coordinated with Brent Council on how and where to implement it. I knew that I certainly did not want any overspill from those pesky commuters, who would use Queen's Park Station to get into London, parking up all day long in Winchester Avenue! To overcome this, I strategically arranged for Winchester Avenue to be included in the KQ zone! Still today, it much amuses me that Winchester Avenue continues to be the only road that lies to the east of Salusbury Road to be eligible to park up in the KQ Zone!

If I’m not mistaken, that’s your buddy who owns the pub, right? I’m guessing this may have been filmed in a different season than now. I think you all are being hit by Bert and Ernie, or some weird winter storm name like that!
