- #Barnsbury is a beautiful part of London and in this walk Joolz takes you to the place Bob Marley had the famous photo taken for the cover of the Legend album. Also, Pentonville Prison which incarcerated many famous people.
Beautiful squares and the grave of the greatest clown of all time, Grimaldi.
A one kilometre tunnel with no towpath along the Regents Canal which takes you from London to Liverpool and the original cricket pitch where Thomas Lord played cricket before moving to Lord's cricket ground.
Join #JoolzGuides for a splendid #LondonWalkingTour with quirky anecdotes, irreverent chat and fun.

The whole “walking” a boat thru a tunnel thing is where the term “legging it” came from.
aaah back in the days when you could venture out and go to pubs...
I love everything about your videos.....the humor, the banter, the history, the music. You enrich my life.
Sincere thank you.
Couldn't agree more. Well said. 😊❤🇬🇧
I totally agree as well with all you said. A big Thank You to Julian for enriching our lives.

My old stomping ground.
I used to live in Milner Square. Stephen Fry lived around the corner and used to park his black cab outside his house. I was collecting jumble for a local charity one afternoon, I knocked on his door and he kindly gave me a Levis Red Tab demin jacket hanging in the hall. We auctioned it for £150.
I have always wondered about that word “jumble”. How did it come to mean items for a charity sale? Here in America the word is still used but we have totally lost connection with the origin. If something is a “jumble sale”, you just know it is second hand items with the proceeds meant for a charitable organization. We never use that word otherwise-for example, you said you were collecting jumble for a charity sale. We would say we were collecting donations (or donated items) for a jumble sale.
@@maryannebrown2385 its just one of those words that has grown to mean different things on either side of the pond.
I guess collecting jumble, then selling said jumble just became "jumble sale". Although here people tend to use the word "jumble" less and less, when advertising a second hand goods sale for charity. They either use "pre-loved", or "second hand".
Stephen is a great person! I loved the documentary series he did taking his London Cab all around the US. One of the big hotels in my city has a London Cab which they use to pick up people from the airport. The primary driver showed me the cab when a group I belong to had an event at the hotel. I'm in the US midwest and I don't think most people here would know the charitable aspect of a jumble.
Gene Miller Really? I am also in the US Midwest (Chicago), and when I was little churches or other groups used to advertise they were holding a “jumble sale”. It didn’t mean jumble in the sense that everything was a disorganized mess, but that they were donated items to be sold for a program at the church or a charity. I have seen that that phrase has really pretty much fallen into disuse. I am in my mid 50’s, and I remember it from when I was little, but have not seen it used for many years.
@@maryannebrown2385 Hi! I'm in my 60s and grew up in NW Iowa. Never heard of jumble as a sale or for a charitable event until I was like in my 20s. I had family in Minnesota, and they had Used a bit shops where we called them Thrift shops. Lots of differences even regionally!
Lovely. I wish I could follow you around these London areas. I adore all types of history, and love to think about everything that happened in these parks and neighborhoods. It’s amazing how much there is to learn, and how much most of us have forgotten. Thank you, from Colorado!💙💙
I discovered that movie about a year ago; it is without a doubt, my favorite of the year, and I don't care for alien monster movies, but "Attack the Block" is brilliant! That is so cool about the clown eggs...I recognize Emmett Kelly there. Thanks for all the interesting history...as per normal.😊
Attack on the Block is probably one of the best low budget SF movies I've ever seen. It had a good tone of humor and seriousness, and a cast who could carry it off.
@@vilstef6988 Agreed!
He had the shop next door Steve really nice guy,brought the old pub his original shop was the Victoria sandwich bar,good breakfast in there decent sausages and bacon,joolz my dad would walk the cows up from kings cross when a kid up york way into market road then he would acquire bread from the abc bakery in Camden road then to fireman’s hill to meet the barges in the canal and grab the cream soda lol that canal fed my dad he said and his brothers lol very enjoyable joolz thank you sir
That breakfast restaurant opposite the Pentonville prison was where I went for my bacon and eggs in the morning
Steven Cassidy that’s Steve who owns that the breakout good cafe
It is now a mosque
@@philbemji3337 i was part of the group who made the paintings they auctioned off, the art teacher was a top bloke!
Great cafe best in north london
@OMAR dont say that in my bible....its all bullshit what you read about it....most define taste lovely
A lovely walk through time, it brings back memories of my time as a young policeman patrolling the area in the early 80s.
Rodney! There was a lot of filming in Islington of Only Fools and Horses, especially around Chapel Market.
Whenever we see "Islington" we think about the kids from Islington Green School who sang the "we don't need no education" chorus on Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall, Part Two. Not sure if the lads ever received compensation.
And my favourite, "We don't need no thought control".
@@gnolan4281 "fouwt contraawl"
Thanks for that tid bit of info. :) That song is a big deal to me
@PurelyAfrican Good to know! I hope they were compensated fairly. The song is an absolute classic
Duke of Haas
Pink Floyd use to record in Islington and Sade use to life here as well .
Talking of Poirot, my father used to work in a thirties building called Florin Court in Charterhouse Square. Poirot was filmed there too. Love your fact packed walks Joolz thank you !
Very good, you should sing more Joolz, do a singing tour of London theatres, ha ha
9:48 The most typical example of a typical modern day conversation you over hear in London, despite that I must praise the camera shot!
Hi Mr Guides, I can personally recommend Pentonville prison I spent 14 happy weeks on B wing for some thing I never did and had my day in court, cor blimey honest guv, I ate from the excellent Kosher menu at great expense to the crown and I recommend the Cinnamon Chicken 10 out of 10. Avoid the showers at all costs B wing has a north easterly exposure over looking the Caledonian road excellent shops but sadly on release I got a funny look when I asked for a Daily Telegraph and was told "not round here mate" and the staff were so nice they let me keep the grey track suit and blue boxers and its that personal touch that makes nick in the smoke so much better than anywhere in the U.K.......Great film again Mr G.
Thanks!!! Really interesting back street tour with masses of local history information. Enjoyable! Cheers.
Thanks Joolz! My great-grandfather lived at the top of Rodney Street from 1880-1890, and moved afterwards to Claremont Square, so it was lovely to see what the place has got up to 130 years later!
I was born in Barnsbury, Burgh St. the whole area has changed much and not all for the better however a lot of the old houses are still there though I haven’t been there for years, far to expensive to live there now for ordinary people. Chapel St Market was booming though I expect it isn’t now
nothing better than a Joolz Guides video on a Sunday night (every fortnight like clockwork!)
Thanks, Joolz, for brightening a rainy Sunday in New Jersey USA. Cheers!
9:48-58 that poor girl’s telephone conversation.
A lovely walk! Thank you, Joolz! Will you make a video about Christmas in London? Are there any special places in London to feel Christmas mood?
I think one of Santa's reindeers is called Dasha.
I've fallen in love with London all over again....Thank you.
Good morning! Yes another fabulous video!!!!
Yayyy! You are covering my neck of the woods! I live on Pentonville road..
That water reservoir has a more ‘witchy’ history and I’m sure JK knew it too. Looking forward to the next video of the area
As always, Joolz; very interesting and very entertaining. Long live Joolz!!!
Another amazing video, Joolz. I've been to London many, many times and love seeing all of the historic sites you show us. Thanks for all you do.
Another fantastic tour. Thank you.
Joolz! I was born in London (Brixton actually} during the war. Viewing your films, I now know more about London than I could ever imagine. I discovered "you" a couple of months ago and made it my mission to track down and view them all. I would dearly love to have a pint or three with you. I dont live in London these days, so it is very nostalgic.
Splendid as usual! Got back home from London yesterday and here I am already longing back and watching yet another of your fab uploads!
All pretty interesting. Like the bit with the canals. In the worst jobs in history, Tony Robinson did a walk-thru on a canal tunnel.
Another delightful trip around London. Thanks Joolz.
Brilliant! Another wonderful stroll with Joolz, Lou, and Simon! Thanks again for making my Sunday morning. Love the walk through Barnsbury! I followed you via my A-Z map and was able to find each place and street. looking forward to seeing some of it myself, someday soon. Love the OF&H references! Big fan of the Rodders and ole Del-Boy! Ta!
Always enjoyable, loved this.
Joolz - your work here on your channel is just amazing! thanks so much!
Most enjoyable video. Lots of interesting stuff, "even if yoo ain't fwom Landan". Good production, great relaxed vibe, and lovely autumn colours too.
Excellent video !! Thanks so much Joolz!!
London is so very vast! Your walking tours are splendid!
Fantastic Videos. You have restored my love for London!
Loving watching all these in Lockdown Joolz! Inspiration for when we get out.
You have one of the most interesting and best channels on CZcams.
I caught up and watched most of the videos. I liked the heck out of them
Always enjoyable and presented with style. Particularly interesting when you visit areas off the well beaten tourist tracks ....
I love your videos, this one especially as I used to live next to barnsbury square. Please hurry up with more, many thanks!
Lived around there for many years. Fond memories x
My whole family came from the Cally and I live up the road

New Joolz video.....weekend complete 👍🏻
Love your work Joolz 👏
Fantastic as Always.........👍🤩👍
You have a lovely knack of entertaining yourself and others. Very lovely!
Lots of gratitude and love from California. 👏💟
Brilliant Joolz. I live in Romford, North East London (bourne here 63 years ago), and get a lot of inspiration for day trips with my grandchildren from your videos. We love sitting together, and watching your walks around London. So thank you Joolz from the bottom of our hearts :-) Please tell my Grandchildren that Grandad is allowed to have a pint on the way home, (as long as they get a Cola) ;-)
Edward Griffin north east London 😂
@@tubbycarpenter9847 And?
Edward Griffin just don’t hear it called that , that’s all
@@tubbycarpenter9847. Well it is really Romford, Essex, but it is also North East London. London borough of Havering.
Loved the bulldog in the backpack! Love your videos!
Great vid, it very much reminded me of working around that area years ago.
London has so meny hidden gems
Cheers and thanks Joolz!
A afternoon with Joolz guide and a glögg / glow wine drink with saffron and apple flavour just lovely.
Another brilliant video ............love the style, subject and delivery.
Really lovely area. And I learn so much from you. Too bad it was raining and so dreary. Thanks Joolz!
i love your videos, very informative and amusing. keep going love it!!
Another excellent informative vid, cheers.
Great video J. Thankyou
Another good video Joolz! I must admit that I grew up in London but have never heard of Barnsbury. I learnt something today. Thank you!
OMG! The Cally so never changes happy childhood memories!
Fascinating video. It reveals many sights and quirky facts about London I hadn't known about. What an eccentric and history-rich corner of London.
Wonderful! 👍 Greetings from London!
Have moved home to Oz Oct of this year after 4 years in London. These videos make me miserable but extremely nostalgic. Lived just down the road in Canonbury. Love ya work!
Hi Joolz, much appreciation for your videos. Cheers!
I am balled over. Just woke up to this beautiful, insightful, charasmatically, quaint and charming video orated by a truly refined British gent! such a pleasure to have joined the class of 2019's history walks. On to the next one!
I grew up there, that was like a trip down memory lane. Thanks :)
Top videos Joolz,,, Keep up the good work
Loved the tune being banged out on the old joanna. Chopin? Perfect accompaniment for an autumnal stroll around Barnsbury and finishing off with a pint in front of a roaring fire. Thank you Joolz!
Fascinating, thank you xx
Another wonderful video. Thank you.
I love your presentation, humour , research and so many unexpected anecdotes. You are a great teacher
Julian, Simon and LLL. . . nice! Amazing to still see people living along canals within the London urban zone. A bit like Amsterdam I suppose, with equally bleak November weather! 😉
Worked in this area as a road seeeper for 14years.really lovely place to do street cleaning 😊
Fascinating tour. Great they kept Grimaldi's grave.
Thanks a lot, guys! Delightful
Unexpectedly awesome!
Just love your videos joolz.
Thank you I was really looking forward to a new video you are great
I’d love it if this lovely kind of music were in more of your videos! Thanks for using classical music in this one. Thumbs up!
Linda who enjoys your videos
your'e a National treasure Jules! Keep up the Great work!
I remember attack the block. I enjoyed it. Thanks for the videos. Humour and history
I happened upon this video ‘by mistake’ and thought I’d watch a few mins, but couldn’t stop watching. I’ve now subscribed, so will binge watch them all now. Thank you :)
Another fabulous blog by our friend Joolz.
Two thumbs up from me.
I remember when that building behind you on Market Road was the White Horse pub in the eighties and I lived in the James Leicester student hall of residence behind. There used to be a recording studio down the road and we regularly saw famous eighties musical faces in the White Horse which was great.
So nostalgic. Used to live in Upper Street, the Thornhill Road, so lots of memories being stirred up. Thanks
I like the architectural critiques. Well done, Joolz!
Good morning from Brazil, I just love your videos
Lived in Barnsbury for 20 years and I certainly don't miss it!
Another great video Joolz, all the lights and christmas tree are up in Leadenhall market now might be worth a visit mate . Pip pip
Great show. Thanks.
Apart from that amazing content, I think the background score must get equal appreciation this time. How well the music complemented the video was absolutely mesmerizing!!
Lovely.. thanks for sharing :)
Love this guy
Jools very interesting thank you! :-)
I wish you would upload more, addicted to your channel, my family has had a lot history in London.. I am grateful for your work, well done 🍸
