Marylebone Walking Tour - London History

[@Joolzguides]

Did anyone notice the deliberate error in this video? Paul McCartney lived at 57 Wimpole Street no number 66 like I state here. Doh!!

[@kickbiker7920]

McCartney is where he 'dreamt' the idea of Yesterday. (57)

[@barnsimon]

He dies at 66

[@CaughtInTheRapture25]

Nice video mate! Well done.

[@crustykells27]

Is there a tour of the underground. Tunnels sewage etc.

[@zodrob7]

@@crustykells27 No, it's just about Maryleborne.

[@flossygallaway6565]

Has anyone one else bumped into this channel by accident then Found themselves binge watching till the very last ?

[@RatAndRaven]

That's how I found it, yeah. This is a particularly good video though as I used to live in Marylebone and I absolutely loved it there

[@michaelfrost2728]

I definitely did that

[@88Agatka]

Yes and I love it!

[@michaelmonn9308]

Yes, that is in fact a flying buttress. Great walking tour. I love to walk around London and your videos are great inspiration to tour areas that I hadn't considered.

[@rcw3009]

As if by magic

[@Joolzguides]

Thanks, that's teh effect I'm aiming for.

[@erussell742]

Joolz is unusually charming and entertaining. Glad to find this channel! Cheers!

[@Joolzguides]

Thank you Erica.. So are you.

Yep the kind of fella you’d like to buy a pint any day of the week, he has a certain old school charm without it being phone! Keep up the great work joolz

[@damascus6478]

The Wallace is an incredible museum. Paintings, sculpture, armour, porcelain, furniture, you name, it's there. A must-see while in London. Thanks for pointing it out.

[@paullewis2413]

One of London`s best kept secrets, hope it stays that way - lol

[@siramea]

and also free wi-fi and decent toilets.

[@mscott3918]

Paul Lewis Amen to that. It was always a favourite of mine when I lived in London. Never crowded and always something beautiful and interesting to see. Good cafe and shop as well, and the staff always helpful and friendly. My favourite museum.

[@MrRoberttheprune]

So many Paintings. My favourite is a small picture of people dancing in a tavern to a lad with a violin. It is like time travelling back to old Holland.

[@k9nick]

I was born in London. Lived in new Zealand over thirties now. I know so much about London. I've forgotten a lot too. At the same time reminded of the life I knew, I miss the old pubs. I miss London.

[@stephenquina7555]

Yes that's a flying buttress. Flying buttresses were a huge step forward in the development of Gothic architecture. The buttress allowed the weight of the vault to be transferred from the walls to the buttress. That allowed for the development of stained glass since the massive stone walls were no longer needed. Really enjoy your videos!!

[@mervynhardy6161]

My understanding is that the flying buttress was invented in the building of magnificent Durham Cathedral.😊

[@johnjohn6486]

London has so many beautiful streets and buildings, both old and new,it all looks great..

[@kevinc179]

Glad you've finally done a Mar-le-bone vid Joolz really enjoy it brought back many memories. I grew up at 20 Wimpole St from about 1963 to 1984, Paul Macca lived at No.57 not No.66 and the house you show on the video as No.66 is No.27. No.66 was opposite use and the Queen Mum use to visit the dentist at No.67! My mum was manageress of the Wimpey (now Pret) in the late 1950's & once sent Sir Cliff Richard packing when he asked for credit ! If you do another one I'd happily come along to point out probably useless but entertaining stuff.

[@LiDiMjsPyt]

Very interesting. I enjoyed reading your comment

[@Scottinuk]

Great stories. Enjoyed reading.

[@prepperjonpnw6482]

I thought he said not to pronounce it that way lol. Now I’m confused lol

Great comment Kevin. We were almost neighbours for a few years, as I grew up in Westmoreland St from about 1957-1970... the New Cav St end. What a fantastic video.

[@kevinc179]

[@malcolmlyndsell5009]

We owe you a vote of thanks, you have reminded us about some very interesting facts about our London . We seem to have forgotten it's amazing history. My grandad was a Tailor to the aristocratic families in the Victorian age . He lived in Chelsea We left london for the south coast during the war , Thank you Joolz

[@garymarshall8228]

Yes, the architectural element you mentioned is a "flying buttress" which supports the walls of the nave of a church. Delightful tour.

[@pagla0306]

Yet another gem of a video about London. Your insider knowledge of these areas of London has a lot of pulling factor for me. I watch them multiple times to absorb the secrets of our capital city. Many thanks.

[@Joolzguides]

Thanks. 🙂

[@mandyaromas476]

Julian you’ve outdone yourself this time, absolutely MAGNIFICENT. Bonus The Beatles history, Kinks sing along this vid is outstanding.

[@Joolzguides]

Thanks. all in a day's work for Joolz Guides!

[@p51nion]

First class entertainment Joolz. Rare these days & badly needed. Thank you. Just stepped over and proudly joined the ranks of your patrons.

[@lindawitherspoon446]

I’m really enjoying your videos. Interesting and entertaining. Love seeing London. Thanks. Yes that is a flying buttress. Hahahahaha. I’m from Texas and I’m telling you about buttresses. I watch so many British docs, that I learned it in one of them. My ancestors come from England, so I am very interested.

[@kimp145]

I worked in this area for 3 and a half years (can actually see the company sign in one shot) so I got irrationally excited about this video. Also, as a descendant of the Browning family I had no idea that was the church he got married in. Thanks for showing me a tiny bit of my family history in this video 💜

[@renee176]

That sing-along Pub looks like a lot of fun to be in the midst of!

[@kiztorres3218]

Ooh, the Wallace Collection! A lovely little museum to take a brake whilst running your errands.

[@mscott3918]

Perfect place to go window shopping.

[@IceDaemon]

[@EliteXtasy]

14:17 - That building is beautiful. I should look up more often.

[@Joolzguides]

It's definitely important to look upwards in London!

[@CK-tz8ek]

I'm glad I found this video. This is my old neighborhood when I went to Uni in London in the early 90's. I wish I never left. Thanks for the tour, most has changed but I still love the area. If only I could afford to live there now. I can't even rent a desk drawer there. I can't wait to see your other tours. Even after living in London for 3 years I still didn't see everything. I hope someday to return. Until then I have your videos. Thank you.

[@joansmith3296]

Wonderful video Joolz. You're right Marylebone IS one of the prettiest streets you've shown us. could you go back at Christmas time and show us the decorations? These pub singalongs look like so much fun! Don't ever stop having fun Joolz!

[@Joolzguides]

It's nice in that pub .A different vibe but great all the same.

[@stephenconlon653]

I've Just discovered young Mr Joolz and his excellent videos! It's a breath of fresh air on KZbin. I worked with BBC in London but I haven't actually resided in England for maybe 25-30 years so these tours are quite nostalgic for me. Thank you Joolz. I lived briefly in Hampstead and lived with a girlfriend in Castellain Mansions in Maida Vale. Many happy nights spent at the Roundhouse too!

[@ffrancrogowski2192]

A very pleasant W1, Joolz. It's fantastic to see small businesses trading in streets so close to Oxford Street. Let us hope that still in here in February 2023 that they prevail. Such a great variety of lovely shops, may I say. Many thanks for this very interesting video production.

[@bragaphotography8624]

I have visited London already. I spent 30 days there. And seeing your videos I can´t wait to go back. I am brazilian and I love british accent and everything else. Your videos are very exciting and make me dream of going back as soon as possible.

[@Joolzguides]

Muito obrigado!🙂

[@paullewis2413]

You can spent 30 years in London and still find something amazing which you haven`t seen before. Hope you are able to return one day. Bem Vindo!

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Love My Fair Lady. Thanks for inviting us to the Sing a long.

[@richardh3547]

Very much enjoyed this informative and fun video. I left London 30 years ago and now live in Cyprus. A walk down memory lane. Thanks a million!

[@VictoriaPichel]

Oh this walk brought so much memories! I went to Marylebone but couldn't stay much. Walked down Marylebone High Street, went to Daunt Books and other shops there... It was getting late for me to visit Sherlock Holmes Museum before it closed so I left, regreatingly because the admission fee to the museum was rather expensive so I didn't take the tour inside. And it was already dark (although it was only 5 o'clock or so). Next time I'll go and stay longer, visit these other spots you showed here, especially that deli shop to buy more of those little Wilkinson & sons jam jars! I bought a couple in a Cafe in Holborn... Great video, Jools.

[@EliteXtasy]

Don't regret not going to the Sherlock Holmes Museum. The author's daughter disapproved of it. I can't support such a place that doesn't pay homage to the creator during its inception.

[@Joolzguides]

I don't think I've ever been in! I mean, what could they have? The shop is quite nice but that's free. They have a recreated Holmes study in the Sherlock Holmes pub upstairs near Trafalgar Square...it's not amazing but it's free!

[@VictoriaPichel]

@@Joolzguides That's why I regret so much leaving Marylebone High St... why was I interested in visiting the museum in the first place?? I'm not a Conan Doyle fan. Must've been the hype around the Sherlock series... the shop I did visit and took pics. Wasn't that life changing haha. But that's what happens in a first trip to a place you've always wanted to go. You cram so much in without actually knowing the city... anyway. I'll plan better for my next trip!! I'll even hire you for a walk!

[@jennyoshea1958]

I do love 'On the Street, where you live'. Such a romantic song 🌻☺️✨

[@cherchezlavache5183]

I ADORE the Wallace. I go there every chance I get. In fact I was there last year. They have a fabulous collection of portrait miniatures. Also, they always have at least one item for sale that my uses the image of a famous painting of a lacemaker they have on display. Last year I popped in to buy a dozen small mirrors, with that image, to give as gifts. It’s a jewel of a museum. 👍🥂

[@janettedewar6617]

One of my favourite areas. Ilived here in the 1980's near Regents Park amongst the squatters. I used to go to the Pineapple dance studio near Marylebone High Street. I worked in the United Bank of Kuwait where the Kuwaiti's had to be told that they were to "queue and wait," and not rush all at once to be served. Kenneth Williams could be spotted walking in Regents Park with his mum. The Rudolph Steiner building near the Park is a lovely building. I did acting classes here in the 1980's it has its own theatre and a very comfortable cafe with sofa's inside and chairs outside.

[@markbletsoe]

Love your channel! Your knowledge and accent are great. You make me smile...

[@stfitness]

Brilliant Joolz. Thank you.

[@youanchor]

Joolz! What a fabulous video! I knew every street, and step you took, and what memories you brought back! I lived just off New Cav St for about 15 years in the 50/60s, and I must have been in Bell & Croydon's a thousand times for mum's prescriptions. Later, when driving, I'd beg to get a job in the West End, just to get my lunch at Bonne Bouche, and I'd sit in my van in George St eating 10 quids worth of sarnies, cakes and a drink. I went to All Souls school and church, played in the streets, and Regent's Park, and got put in a cell in Marylebone Lane police station when I was about 8 or 9 for 'playing out' after school 'til 11 or 12pm! Marylebone High St is probably my favourite street in London, and I still remember Leon's grocers, Greens tobacconist, and even the Woolworths store!... yes, a Woolies in Marylebone High Street. Now I'm going to watch this again.

I've never forgotten it and although dad has long since passed, I would dearly love to spend a few days down there exploring some of the lesser known parts you take us round. I live near Liverpool and it's a joy to get off the beaten track and soak up the history. One day London, one day.

[@Joolzguides]

That sounds lovely. Yes, I have the same memories of my dad.

[@kiztorres3218]

Great walk! I'm glad you mentioned the Wallace collection. It's a little known gem. It's great to take a little breather from your shopping in hectic Oxford Street... And perhaps a lunchtime concert in Wigmore Hall or a cocktail a short walk away in Golden Square... I love your videos. I was a Londoner for 25years. I find myself now on the other side of the world, and having travelled around the world, there is nothing comparable to London life. I can't wait to get back home.
