Joolz absolutely fabulous show thank you for bring joy into our lives. The walk through Ealing studio was grate. Although I have never been to the UK and will never be able to afford to, every time I watch you shoe it like taking a holiday in London. Thank you so much.

I have your book which I like a lot except that the print is far too small. As an older person I find it very difficult to read on the move.

Worth adding that the computer programming language Ada was named after Ada Lovelace.

[@garethbray9017]

Plus one of the tunnel boring machines used to make the Elizabeth line was called Ada, after Lovelace

[@reason43poole37]

I painted those flats in Ealing village in 1962 or thereabouts I remember Ken Wolstenholme and the brother of Victor McGlocklin lived there too. We used the longest wooden ladders I have ever seen. They didn't reach the stairwell tops I had two guys hang me over the edge by my ankles and finished the part we could not reach from the ladders. Also painted the insides of them. Wonderful memories thanks.

Gunnersbury was not named after gunners. It was named after King Cnut's niece who took the large swaith of land we know today as Gunnersbury and built her Manor house and named it after herself Gunnhildr or Gunylda. She lived there from 1016 to 1044 when the new Saxon King, Edward The Confessor seized the throne and banished her.

[@marinedrive5484]

Fascinating tour through Ealing Studios - jam-packed with the history of British cinema. Nearby Ealing Village is quite a little gem - Art Deco's take on the Dutch Colonial style. Ealing has quite a jolly feel to it, jolly good!

[@davidbalcon8726]

Thank you for the walk about. Visited Ealing last October and toured the Studios where my great uncle Sir Michael produced all those classic films. Wonderful return visit (and seeing the charming Lorraine again)!

[@brendamandrak2863]

Ealing means so much to me. I lived there in the 1970s and one of my jobs led to my meeting famous musicians. It's a great place to live and to work and socialise.

[@AlannahRyane]

Wow a tour of Ealing Studios with Barnaby Thompson !! Lorraine is a real gem. That was a a wonderful surprise thanks Joolz and Simon.

I literally shouted at the screen. Lorraine is one of the nicest people you could ever meet.

One of the best new videos in a while. But I am biased as I used to live near Ealing for 3 years. One of the best parts of London!

[@Wurzelofoz]

I left Ealing in 2004, and moved to Australia. I have rarely been back since then, [and have never seen behind the back of white house at Ealing Studios], so this was a lovely trip down memory lane.

Fantastic episode about Ealing. Seeing inside the Ealing Studios was magic. Wow, so exciting to see it all. I never imagined it being like that. Such a beautiful area too. I really loved this episode. So well done and so interesting! Thanks so much. x

[@andykopgod]

One of the best yet, Ealing Studios has so much history, and made some iconic movies.

[@hendongooner7383]

Fantastic Jools. My old uni mate used to have a flat in Ealing and it got used in the TV series "New Tricks" as Dennis Waterman's character's apartment. He made a shed load of money for the use of the flat and after each series of filming the film company completely re-painted the flat and made repairs where needed.

[@permaculturee]

Opposite the town hall, next to the cinema, there is an alleyway called 'Barnes Pikle.' My favourite street name in London.

I worked for Ealing Council for 7 years in the late 1990's. This video brings back wonderful memories of the area, and how much it's changed. It also bought back memories of the great Monty Python sketch, 'Climbing the Uxbridge Road'.

If you had walked around All Saint's Church, you would have found that number 9 Elm Crescent has a plaque on it commemorating Ralph Downes CBE KSG, who lived there for many years. He was the organist who designed the organ for the Royal Festival Hall, and also for the London Oratory.

[@Wahian1]

So interesting to see things today. You included the church near Ealing Common where I married and the town hall where my mum was married. Had you wandered towards the North Korean Embassy you would have passed by Sid James' house before he moved nearer to Pinewood. Back at Ealing Broadway was where Jim Marshall had one of his two shops (Hanwell bring the other and more interesting; the birth place of Marshall amps). But at his Ealing shop, Jimi Hendrix came in. As it so happened, Mitch Mitchell was Marshall's drum salesman and a drummer in several bands; a local Ealing boy. Jim Marshall lived in Southall for many years and had initially made his amplifier enclosures in his garage to be completed in his Hanwell Broadway shop.

[@paula7696]

I was thrilled to see that the Ealing Studio is still there!!! All those great Alec Guiness movies. I didn't even know Will Hay filmed there. That was really exciting.

During WWII many Polish fighter pilots were based at nearby Northolt airfield. They remained after the war and brought family over, as life under the Soviet overlords wasn't particularly pleasant.

[@jmcwill2002]

I mean, how many people can turn up unannounced at Ealing Studios and get a personal tour from the owner!?! Another fun and interesting video! Very much looking forward to getting your book, as one of these days I'll make my way to London to do some proper walking.

[@cjwoods21]

I went to university of west London, so good to see it again. We used to use a recording studio in Ealing film studios and just having the privilege of being there just takes your breath away. Also miss that red lion pub always stopped for one on the way home from there

Since receiving your splendid new book and watching your posts on IG, I thought you might pop up at Cannes this year with the glitterati. With your Brummel fashion sense you should be a natural at the Met Gala next May. Glad to see you're walking with a spiffing guided tour around Ealing! Well done, sir.

[@ericsparks6276]

So cool that you are advertising your book and have QR codes so people can go to a video for the walk on that page! Bravo Joolz! Good way to integrate it with modern society to keep the interest!

[@markbradwell6913]

Flips sake Joolz, I lived in Ealing for maybe 7 months in 1989/90 and was doing so many long shifts I just never had the time to explore and now curse my lust for money. I'm 60 soon and my daughter, dearest, lives in London so I may need to revisit after watching your brilliant Vlog on what I feckin missed. Great work and I did receive your book having pre-ordered, I had almost given up hope when it landed on the mat. Was it worth the wait? Not Half!!!!

[@chrislodzinski9056]

The polish parish in Ealing was relatively late to accquire its own church, they used to use St Matthew's anglican church. polish churches in Shepherds Bush, Balham and Putney all came before it.

[@ffrancrogowski2192]

An absolutely brilliant borough of London, Joolz. This district is packed full of very interesting facts about buildings and character that frequented the place over the years. It's the first time that I've seen a post box with a stamp issuing facility on the side of it - totally amazing. The underground station has great architecture of the old style of art nouveau, I'd say, and still very original. Going around the film studios really made this video, seeing all those huge buildings, and where I never knew that Downton Abbey was filmed there, plus loads of the older classic British cinema classics. Marvellous, and so, many thanks for this film, Joolz.

[@FART-REPELLENT]

"An absolutely brilliant borough of London"?; far from it, the only parts of Ealing borough that are decent are the back streets of Ealing Common, Haven Green, and to the east of Ealing Broadway station, which make up less than 5% of the borough. Northolt is the worst district of Ealing Borough, with Southall close behind second from last.

[@AM-dz2sh]

@@FART-REPELLENT Pitshanger, Northfields, South Ealing, Hanwell, St Stephens, North Ealing.. I could go on... All lovely areas that people would hope to live in. Ealing is the 3rd biggest borough; so naturally it would have a few parts that aren't as nice.

[@hoosiersands]

Thanks for coming to my part of the world. 🙂 Glad you liked our Town Hall-it is pending sale to a hotel developer so I don't know how much will be retained! Also quite a bit of Ealing Studios will be demolished in the next few years-but thankfully it will still be a film studio and not a bunch of flats.

[@garryferrington811]

Agh. 😢

[@CJ-ib2qx]

Isn't all of Ealing Studios a listed building?

[@hoosiersands]

@@CJ-ib2qx No, Historic England's listing covers the "White House" which is the building facing the road and Stages 2, 3A, 3B and 5 which were built in the 1930s. The rest is not. It is quite a large site-have a look at the satellite view.

[@jaybe2908]

The Town Hall also featured in the film "The Borrowers" with John Goodman, I went by as they were filming, they had lots of green Morris Minors outside.

[@tiggiegillespie4356]

Oh wow! Ealing is very dear to my heart as my dad’s family came from there, lots of lovely memories and some places I didn’t know existed. Ealing Studios was fab, my dad use to snuck over the wall (late 50’s) to half inch old film rolls in their dustbins to make stink bombs, not sure if he was pulling my leg though lol 😂 Another great video, thanks 😊

[@davethatcher4954]

We used to make those stink/smoke bombs from old cellulose? film rolls back in the 50s. Take length of it, fold it to a small bundle, wrap it tightly in newspaper, light it and when it started to burn furiously........stamp on it to stop the flames, and then it furiously smouldered pumping out masses of vile smelling smoke.😂

Ealing Village is gorg3eous, I can't afford to live there, but there or thereabouts would be wonderful, so pretty. Hanwell - reminds me of the reference in Pygmalion, such a great film with Leslie Howard, the dialog is superior to the music in My Fair Lady.

[@TheUluxian]

Would love to see you do an entire episode with Barnaby Thompson and all the work he has done on British films. His resume is amazing, and he seems like a charming man. Ealing is now on my "must see" list next time I hop the pond. LOVE Art deco. First time I've ever drooled at the thought of visiting a Tesco...

I found that totally fascinating and interesting. I was born in West Ealing and look forward to seeing you doing a walk through there, although now it is nothing like it use to be and now a bit of a slum. Uxbridge road then had all the big department stores and the biggest one was F.H Rowse Ltd, but that closed in the early 1980's and was demolished.

Lucky escape On NYE 1974/75 we walked back from Trafalgar Square as no night buses then and bumped into a very drunk man outside Ealing Film Studio who shared his bottle of scotch with us at 4am.

Thanks Joolz, I was born in Ealing and went to school next to Walpole park in fact we played football at lunch and would often see Darleks and Sybermen without the tops of the costumes smoking at the back of the film studios. My first job was in the Pomfrit restaurant opposite the original entrance to the Walpole Cinema and many a well known face would drop in for lunch/coffee when it was a recording/rehearsal room. It truly is/was a lovely place to live and work. I’m now resident in Scotland and haven’t been back for a while so it was a pleasant trip down memory lane, just off of Bond Street as I recall 😂 Thanks again.

Another wonderful video, that while extremely entertaining do an amazing job of bringing history to life. My grandparents moved to West Ealing in the 1930’s, I was born and raised here in my early years too, 70’s. I even attended Ealing Green school, next to Ealing Studios. I was only there a couple of terms, but was a regular in and around Ealing Broadway and the surrounding area. Living vicariously through your video was such a nostalgic trip. I’m inspired to jump on my motorbike, trundle up the M3 from my home in Hampshire and visit the old stomping ground once again.
