- Camden Town Rock n Roll Punk Music - London Pub Crawl
Joolz Guides takes you for a walk through his old stomping ground. Camden Town is famous for its pubs, markets and live music. Amy Winehouse pulled pints here and it's where punk music was born with The Ramones.
Go through Camden Market to see where the Sex Pistols had fights and where The Clash and Madness shot their album covers.
Thanks to Michael G Spafford for photos.

@@josephforest7605 Funny. But he really needs an agent who gets up in the morning. Joolz is fabulous and London is the richest cultural destination on the planet for my money.
Hi Joolz, wondering how much a private tour might be, heading to the smoke soon, 4 of us two couples, love music great unusual pubs? Let me know if poss
Cheers great informative entertaining videos
@@velvetraptor8540 haha, yeah, if you already live there, for everyone else it's overcrowded and expensive....
Excellent video, I will share
I was under the impression, every corner, every building in London had security cameras and within city limits you were filmed all the time so its bizarre that people are not allowing Joolz to film. It helps the businesses and the tourism for the city. They should thank him.
Your not mistaken
this!
@@julialumina1615 HEY HELLO MY NAME IS ALI
it is odd joolz quite well known, liked in london - it is law you can film from public areas - unfortunately private areas can make their own rules - (its camden and some pubs are known for 'selling' .... well selling things ... if you see what I mean ....)
I lived in London 38 years ago and Camden was my favorite place to go at the weekends It was buzzing !! Have some very happy memories and even bought lovely clothes there then , all rubbish now , sad .!
Definitely I was born there many moons ago. It was a great place full of great people. It has become a total void full of twats who know nothing about Camden Town.
same goes for majority of London
Agree. 40 years ago i used to drink in the Monarch, pop over to Dingwalls and a lot of weekends in the Ballroom... Camdens character is long gone.
The Dev is a great night out for us metalheads though.
same as that we used to start in the Kentish town Assembly rooms and end up in the Dev or the hawley arms good old days early 80s@@teegee0
9:10 “The bloke in the shop” is Knox, original vocalist in the Vibrators.
Wow you're right
Who is he
Who?
...Knox.
...Original vocalist in the Vibrators....
great live
band
WONDERFUL video! I'm writing a novel about musicians from Camden in the late 60s/early 70s and I've done a ton of research. Thank you for including so much info about the history of music in Camden unlike any other video or article I've found before. :) Cheers from USA
As a teenager living in London, I spent a lot of time in camden and also went to see 'Sid and Nancy love kills' in the Plaza in August 1986. I too used to drink in the devonshire. The pogues and that petrol emotion used to drink in there. In 1989, I returned back to my home city of Derry to go to uni. But, i always return to camden at least once a year. My wife and daughter love the place. We were all in Camden last month and took your recommendation and did the Regents canal. thank you for your entertaining and informative videos.
Camden is my favourite place in London , the atmosphere is buzzing
Amazing place. Steeped in history from way beyond. And musical icons never to be forgot. Legends
Camden is so compact with stuff to do
OK, this is definitely my favorite episode, rock and roll, drinking and a history cover about it, so now I know, if I come to London where to go first, thanks mate :D
Fond memories of Camden Town Electric Ballroom, Dingwalls and The Elephant’s Head that was pure rock n roll for me!!!
And the Hope & Anchor in Islington.
I played in the Electric Ballroom in the 70's It was a girl band and we played a mix of cajun & funk, we where called initially Blue Cat's then Club Mamoselle. We got the gig as one of our members was going out with one of Killing Joke who played the same gig. Previous to that I was in a band called Stepping Talk we did lot's of gigs along with lots of other indi bands and used to hang out with Scrittie Politti in Camden.
@kyfaydfsoab nope long before that. We had a deal with Rough Trade but we printed our own record sleeves etc often with a rubber stamp and did our own art work too. Really exciting times.
remember the milkshakes ?@@alexandrajames8734
love your vids Joolz always make me homesick! keep up the good work.
Amazing. One of your best. Thanks alot.
Thank you for these wonderful videos and for your humor! I am traveling to London in less than two weeks, bringing my oldest granddaughter for her first trip overseas. Even though I once lived and worked in London for over 2 years and know my way around very well, your walking tour videos have been very helpful.
Thanks Raymond. Yes, they're just intended as a bit of fun. If I can give some history and interesting facts too then I think they're doing the job!
It's Always Awesome when Lil Lost Lou , Joolz's sister , is in the video !!!!
Excellent stuff! I will check out all your videos before taking in the sites of this magnificent city, as a resident of London now, your videos are a big help, thanks man!
You gave me a lot of nostalgia with this. I actually saw Lemmy in a pub near the Roundhouse once. The World's end was the pub I used to go to with the people from work as I worked nearby on Greenland Street. I also want to the Devonshire Arms a few times too.
Lived there in 85-86 & it was wonderful!
Floyd Solo cool
This was a great guide.. I really enjoyed it .I visited camden in 2006 and wished your guide had been around back then . i love music and to have passed these sites by without knowing the past history makes me want to revisit. cheers n beers joolz
blown away by this tour, amazing work!
Yes its really good
Thank you for this one Julian, very well made!
Great! I rushed it but it seems people like these longer ones. I hope that's the case anyway!
I loved living around here, it could be a bit rough at times but always a laugh. The dev and elephants head is where I would spend most my evenings
I've always wondered what this particular area looks like, Joolz, and here we are. What a variety of pubs, clothing shops and virtually everything. So interesting is this video, with so much history of 70s and 80s bands performing there in their earlier days. Many thanks indeed for this.
I live in the United States in Texas always wanted to go to England I'm in my 50s now and I'll probably never get to go huge Maiden and Priest fan I very much enjoyed your videos thank you very much look forward to the next one
I live local it’s a wonderful place to live!!!
That was good, Julian. So Nostalgic for me. I liked going to Camden Lock. There were good Jazz Sessions there on Saturdays in a bar on the canal. And I liked going to the Roundhouse. I saw String Driven Thing there who were an excellent folk/rock group. I believe they are still going as they are on the Internet. Camden looks smarter now. London looks so much smarter now, with all of its cleaned buildings. Your videos are the nearest I can get to visiting London, so thanks for them.
Great video! Thank you so much for sharing this.
Love this, but you've made me homesick
so much musical history in one area
Yes, and I didn't even go into much detail. I missed out a lot of stuff. It's remarkable really.
Scope for a sequel?
STILL IS
Its so giving
I lived in Camden in 2011 and this video was a great walk down memory lane. Thank you.
Roundhouse..I saw Talking Heads and The Ramones in 77 there.
WOW JEALOUS would have loved to had that memory/story
If I ever retraced me steps from 75' I'd give this bloke a ring,great tours.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING 🔥🌎🔥
Hey Joolz! Thanks for the vid and the connection to your sister and her music. Wow! Just downloaded her album. Cheers!
Sh'e'll be delighted!
since this video was uploaded, Chalk Farm vintage (the Hawaiian shirt shop) has since closed permanently 😭😭. Also anyone here in 2022?, if so, respect to you.
Great video, I've always enjoyed visiting Camden. Very informative, nice mention of The Stranglers too.
I used to sell vinyl records in the stables on Camden market other sellers had stuff on the floor and it was a real flea market... all cleaned up now with food stalls and new clothes
Great INFO video! Thanks!
Brilliant!!!
It's amazing London, I lived 15 years ago. ARE you so funny when show the city, Thanks, I will come back to visit again.
love round there, some of the best battles in London......
Best song I will use it on my channel playlist!
Oh great! My sister will be very pleased. She's www.lillostlou.com/
I worked on a tunnel contract at Chalk Farm in 1962 a part of the wall on Adelaide Rd was knocked down for an entrance and site accommodation was erected. The old tunnel was used for empty railway carriages into Kings Cross, electrification of trains meant the tunnel was too small to install the overhead cabling. So it was enlarged using 3 crews of paddy miners working off coal trucks, the old tunnel lining was removed on ring at a time down to track level. The clay excavated and dropped into the coal wagons, new profile tunnel lining segments would be erected to the larger diameter. Each lunch time a train would arrive pulling some empty wagons, plus others carrying the new segments and cement for the grouting these would be dropped off at each work station and the previous days wagon attached to the front of the train and taken away.
While mining under the Round House some brickwork was encountered in the top of the tunnel, this was knocked out and a torrent of water flowed into the tunnel. The miners had hit the flooded cellars of the Round House, pump were installed and the tunnel progressed under and away from the area. later the hole was repaired with reinforced concrete and the leaks sealed as well.
The singer who kept ripping his pants lived just near the iron bridge, can't think of his name.
Was the singer PJ Proby? Also, your comment was very insightful and interesting. Thanks
The good ol days throw the boys around Camden underground a bob or two on pay day what? for a purple one .
I shall be using this when I partake in my pub crawl round Camden 👍🏼
Great little tour around Camden Town. Been there a few times looking for madness but never found. Very informative.👍
Another fantastic video. I don't go to Camden enough. This has given me some inspiration & motivation to go.
Yes, I'm all nostalgic but actually they've spruced it up a lot since the 70s!
It's Camden Town, the yuppies started calling it Camden in the 90s.
HI Joolz...Thou art Hast the goodest mostest bestest Videos on this here internet and methinks you topped the glop with this magnificent spin...thx for doing your vids cuz they is ace... :)
Thanks for sharing ur films it Awesome.
Nice Jules. I moved back to Australia from London recently and am missing my adopted home... Your videos take me back. Thanks, fella!
Cheers! Can't wait to go to Australia again. I might get a new hat with corks on it and do some Guides down under!
Drop me a line if you do, fellah! I'm okay with a camera. :-)
enjoyed watching your videos i live in Australia and have not been to England since i was 12 i was born in london so its fun to watch this
Thanks. I'm glad they're going down well over there too!
Great to see the mention of Marine Ices. I was a regular when I lived nearby and found that my Mum, and HER Mum had hung out there in their younger days.
amazing and musically historical thank you so much...
Very hazy memories of having good times in the Camden Falcon & played Dublin Castle a few times too. The early 90's, I was 22, in a band and having a right old slice. Great to see Knox, in the vid!
Going to be studying abroad over the Summer '20 in London. Thanks for the tips to drink and see a part of Punk history. Cheers!
Thank you.
Brings back memory's
I am transfixed by your vids just superb stuff.
Nice history lesson on both punk venues and Camden history further back to ....
Ohh, missing Camden. Lived there for a while and know most of those places he shows. Those were the times
great video. i remember in 1990s you could get great fitted levis, rarest records, the best leather jackets (70s style) just really good. i feel its a real tourist trap now with little untouched corners only camden residents would know. the camden palace was great on wednesday nights (twist and shout) with a theme of northern soul to dance to. i've still got some flyers for the night
Camden would have been a wonderful place in its prime. Its legacy has been shat on with a surfeit of tourists, £6 pints, chain pubs, tacky souvenir stores and sheeple donning empty, derivative fashions.
Camden was a place brimming with organic culture and personality. It’s now weathered 2 decades devoid of culture or personality. Where everything is a hollow impersonation of better times.
The punks, the metalheads, the hippies, the soul singers, have coalesced into a bleak, contrived puddle of phone zombies and Instagram posers.
Camden hasn’t been allowed to die with dignity. It’s a wreck festooned in a desolate vibrancy that insists the place still lives.
excellent comment! I was about to write something like that....in the spirit of dominant quick instant culture and digital simulation of everything true and original, this town radiates with soulessnes and fake scenery....really not organic at all.
and also amy winehouse pretty much tells it all, her picture fits perfectly in camden....fake character for hipsters, fake music which exploited soul heritage and spoiled it, the only true about her was heroin addiction and her death.
CAPITALISM.
GO THERE IN THE NIGHT STILL FUCKING CRAZY
I went to London for the Spring time in 1980 as a 20 year old from the USA and hung out at Dingwalls and The Music Machine....Was that a good time then?
Cheery Chap aren't you.
LOVED IT i just subscribed after watching Plymouth video but I also lived in Kentish Town in my early 20s for 10 years and Camden Town was our Hangaround place . Cycle courier for 6yrs in early 80s again thanks for the memories
Camden palace was called " THE MUSIC MACHINE " in the 80"s saw Motor Head There ... " GREAT NIGHT "
Loved ' the palace ' good times
I saw Japan there.
This. Was. Awesome. ❤
Love Camden love London. I always visit there!!!
It's changing a lot but still has a good atmosphere
@@Joolzguides Pity I didn't know where the colorful folks go when I was in London and great to have some of it all. Stranglers among my great favs along with many other of the mantioned; oh Talking Heads, Madness... Beautiful to connect music, films and books with the places!
Hi folks. If anyone likes my films and knows any journalists, tv companies or tour operators do let me know. I’m looking to collaborate or work together with these companies to get more exposure and potentially promote their business. Onward and upwards!!! Please help if you can!! Thanks! Joolz
JOOLZ! Tourism is a huge, giant, megabusiness in London now. Get ahold of the Ripper tour guides. The government? Don't they want promotion? There have to be hundreds of promotional opportunities. In-room hotel closed circuit TV for travelers who don't know the gem of a city they're sleeping in! I've seen plenty of this type of thing and you're THE BEST THERE IS!
I gravitate towards Camden every visit I make to London and didn't know a few of these places so thanks! I'm popping down in Sept and will be adding more places to my itinerary! Am going through your other walks videos now and adding to my google maps
Great! If you see me say hi!
Loved this film, my daughter lives in Camden so it was a bit like a typical Friday night crawl around the boozers, lovely jubbly
That is a great video. We were there just a few days ago. Nice to see it again and get explanations on everything we missed. :-). Just became a patreon (different name over there though). Next time we're in London I'm surely going to book a private tour with you. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! That's very much appreciated and I"m glad you enjoyed it! YEs, I'd be happy to show you around!
My cousin was a PUNK,in the 80s,thank you for bringing back good memories,PIP-PIP,🎶🎵🎼.
just brilliant
One of my fav places in london... from madness , bonzo dog band, Monty python, you have that sense of graduate humor and knowledge. Well done!..love all the videos on CZcams
OMG. I saw Bonzo Dog in 1972. Michigan, USA
i really liked this video, you are talented man indeed
Great video! Many a drunken gig night on these shores 💋
Watching in Dec 2020! lol
Merry Christmas to all!
Decent pic of my old house.
Wait for it....
Loads of change since my day. ;-)
KOKO and Camden Palace was The Music Machine in the Punk Heyday!....I went there!
I saw David Bowie at The Roundhouse. He was one of the support acts. The Groundhogs were the headliners. Hunky Dory had just come out.
Wow 👌
Love the video of camden,I was born at 1 Greenland Rd Camden Town. It's changed so much,❤
Spent many a Sunday lock in at the steeles back in the mid 80s.. And many a Friday / sat night in the stores Hawley arms and Dingwalls.. Good memories
ahh the wonders of london although i never been, i have learned a lot about it from my living room on youtube!
Great! Glad I could be of service!
Excellent.
I’m definitely going to the rock and roll shop! 😎
Good work again Joolz. Love your videos.
Cheers. I just heard they had a big fire there last night. I filmed just in time!
So sad.
It amazing how many rock stars' lives end that way.
Excellent video dude.
Hi! Just a quick favour! I've started a new Instagram account because the old one got deleted!!!! PLEASE HELP ME TO BUILD MY NEW INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT BY FOLLOWING ME: instagram.com/joolzguidesofficial/
Or @JoolzGuidesOfficial
Hi Joolz, only just discovered you, really enjoyed the few I saw, keep it up....
Thanks Martin. Yes, there are quite a lot now! Do have a look and make comments! Thanks!
I love Camden!! I subbed as I love your videos and all the facts!! I'm a drummer and did play at the rock garden in Covent garden but it's not there anymore!!😪🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Cool! 😎🎤🎶🍻👍🏻👍🏻
I visited London a few weeks ago and I went round Camden after watching this a few months back. Had to go into Dingwalls just so I can say I’ve been there. £6 a pint of lager was a bit of a shock though, I made the aftershave man in the toilets day for him by giving him a £20 note for a dab of Armani smelly.
Decent vid that, Jules. It is a nice walk to Camden coming from Edgware Road area.
Visited The World's Eng last year... because it was the first pub I saw while exiting the bus.
It's quite spacious in there. I wouldn't spend a whole evening there myself but ok for a couple of light ales! Maybe I felt a bit too old.
this was proper nostalgic!
Brilliant
I remember when The Devonshire Arms used to be called The Hob Goblin. Great times were had in there, and in The Dublin Castle. I miss living in London.
My favourite place once,now a commercial bore now with tourists everywhere.
London lost that edgey feel in all parts. But a good video from the man in the bowler hat.
Holiday in Camden Utopia
Good to see Danny with his mega-phone.
Geez, I immigrated back to Canada back in 1992. Haven't been back to the UK since, but had a short term live-in job at a pub called the "BUCKS HEAD" , before I transferred to a live-in catering gig in Wimbledon,at Southlands College, just up the road from Putney Village. I wonder if the Bucks Head is still there, on the corner, if anyone can tell me. I know for a fact that Dingwalls is done and over with 1990-s . I went down to London from Glasgow, to stay with a friend, for her 21st B-Day back in November of 1991. When I took the Picadilly Line ,then transferred to the Northern Line to get to Camden Town, on the Saturdays when I got my "pay packet" as they refer to it over there, Yeah Camden Town was the place to be,on a sunny Saturday afternoon, wandering into Dingwalls, stepping back into a "1950's Rock-'n'-Roll time warp" needless to say,in my obvious SKA, REGGAE,SOUL ,I stuck out like a sore thumb, against these 1950's Be-boppers, furiously "Jitter-bugging" away on the dance floor. Sadly, when I went there, on that visit while in London, I went up to Camden Town, Dingwalls was gone, replaced by various overpriced boutique after boutique. But when it was still alive and kicking, going into the joint , but GREAT original vintage 1950 which I still enjoyed inspite of feeling out of place, music and fashion-wi, to say the least. Lol,😂 but still , it was fabulous times, nice folks, & the fondest memories. Here's to good 'ol Camden Town.

used to drink in the Bucks Head 83 - 87 on way to town or electric ballroom. good ol daze
I remember so well my nights at the Roundhouse Chalk Farm before it was renovated - this began in 1974 and amongst the great bands I saw there were MAGMA / EDGAR BROUGHTON BAND / KRAFTWERK / STACKRIDGE and GREENSLADE... Great nights in an age where it was cheap to see wonderful groups and I wasn't beset by old age.
@kyfaydfsoab I'm 70 and that feels old enough
I like the beers you have^^
Bloody love this Joolz. You should be the musical Mayer of London!
Thanks Pete! Yes, damn right! Those were the days ! Actually, I must admit that Camden does look a bit nicer these days..
