Waterloo to Southwark - Most Excellent London History Walk

In this most excellent London walk Joolz takes you from Waterloo through Southwark and towards Borough for a pint at The Lord Clyde pub.
We start on Waterloo Bridge and walk past Waterloo Station.
Then it's through the Leake Street tunnel to see all the graffiti. Also the father of the music halls "Canterbury Music hall" and the old entrance to the Necropolis railway where you tool the death train.
Also included are The Old Vic theatre, Roupell Street, the first circus master and fire insurance plaques.
Then it's along the railway arches to The Ring pub and the sculpture which Charles Dickens passed on his way to work every day.
The last men to be hanged in Britain for homosexuality and also the very cute, interesting Kirkaldy Testing Museum.
Thanks to Harry A. for all the research!

Tiny addition to your lovely video. At Blackfriars and The Cut, diagonally opposite The Ring Pub, is that modern building which used to be the East India House, part of the British Library. It held all the colonial material about India. It was a wonderful place, both for the good and the bad of the history of colonial India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, but few ordinary people knew of it.

[@ObservantHistorian]

I used to live in the old brick Public Library at 8:00. It was then the Waterloo Action Center (don't know what it is now, of course), which was associated with Blackfriar's Settlement, down at the other end of The Cut. There is a flat that takes up the first and second floors, which was shared by a few folks associated with the Action Center. I lived in London for about three years in the late 70s, as a student from a small American Quaker college for hippies, to tell it just as it was! We did mainly internships and field work, rather than traditional classes, I was youth work volunteer for the Settlement, and later spent a couple of years working for a citizens' advice bureau in Bermondsey. I love London. I have never felt as at home anywhere since, before or since. Thanks for these videos!

[@veldawells2839]

I often wondered about that ornate Victorian building squashed between modern buildings on Waterloo Bridge Road near Lower Marsh, which you say was a place for storing dead people! I only took a pic of it the other day and wondered about it. Thanks Joolz.

Another great vid ta. My maternal grandmother's family lived in this area from the mid1800s to the mid 1900s. My nan was born in Webber Street off the Cut in 1892. My mum was born in Upper Marsh in 1927. At one time the family had a coal shop in Lower Marsh. My nan said that the shop also had a piano and a snooker table! I was born in St Thomas' but by then the family had a shop near the Oval.
