- Joolz takes you on a rather splendid walk around the east end of London starting at Whitechapel and going towards Stepney Green.
As usual there are many interesting buildings, stories, and people connected with Stepney Green and Whitechapel. It was an area popular with sailors and has been host to many different ethnic groups down the ages starting with the French Huguenots, then the Irish, Jews, and Bangladeshis.
The elephant man, working boys, the salvation army, Captain Cook and many breweries all feature in this fun, jovial and interesting London walk.

Have you already visited the Wapping area, Joolz?
Joolz, Captain Cook's house was dismantled, transported to Australia, and rebuilt in Melbourne near the botanic gardens!
@@demitraferles7970 I’m so glad to hear that! My family lived in Stratford and we used to pass the house on the 25 bus on the way to Whitechapel to visit my grandparents. I was so sad to see that it had gone last time I was there and thought it was cultural vandalism. I can now imagine it in Australia, with my niece in Melbourne!😊
Hi Joolz. I would like to suggest Richmond for a future video.
This man deserves more recognition. Has there ever been a better series of London documentaries?
Thanks. I seem to be getting a fair bit in the street these days.
Netflix pay attention! This guy deserves his own series.
Oh my gosh a Netflix series would be incredible!
@@Joolzguides I think I'm going to make it a life goal. Get to London someday, spot Joolz making a video. I mean, plenty of other things in there, indeed, but it's up there!
True! Outstanding!
For anyone loving London, this series is a must.
people think I’m super smart every time I bring up interesting historical facts wherever I am
@@user-ei7ed6zy9k google
And people living outside of London, I find these super interesting and I'm in Brum 😁
Or just people who live in London
P.S. I keep forgetting, we should give a shout out to Simon for his great camera work and additional commentary!
Love the banter between Simon & Joolz! “Look, Simon!”
Joolz getting famous apparently, your videos do bring a lot of joy
you mentioning the Elephant Man reminded me of the great John Hurt, one of the greatest actors of our time - may he RIP
I genuinely find it fascinating how you've managed to make Stepney Green and Whitechapel look decent in this video.
😅😅😅😅
Thks for this. I was a Canadian living in Bethnal Green in '68. The East End then look like WWII had just ended the week before. I lived not far from The Krays mom near the Bagel Shop, which was my favourite pie shop. The Krays tried to kill a witness right in the courtroom!
How dare you!?!
The Krays were just a couple of loveable rouges who loved their mum.
Sir Joolz could hands down have his own BBC show on TV. These tours of London are simply magnificent. We visited London from Los Angeles 3 years ago and had a very enjoyable time. We may have only seen 0.0000000001% of that very fascinating city in 4 days.
As far as I know, Joulz is still available for hire as a tour guide.
I think in 4 days your percentage is probably about right! As London has so many historical levels from the Romans onward. Joolz and others on CZcams do a great job of explaining the fascinating collection of architecture, but mainly the many amazing characters who changed the world Cook and Booth just in this small video.
If there’s anything we can thank Corona for.. it’s for content like this. The pandemic has opened the door so many talented content creators like Joolz.
Thanks Joolz. After a difficult day, you've cheered me up. It's nice to be able to travel to London town during this nasty lockdown downunder. Cheers mate!
"Oranges and lemons say the bells of St Clements" 🎵
My goodness that takes me back! I hadn't heard that in forever!
Can you please do other places in england too? It would so awesome if you could travel all around england, narrating its history and quirks. I hope someone gives you a tv show or something haha
That would take A LOT of research!
Great to see you back in a pub ...
Hell yeah
We’ve been to the Half Moon on our last trip (from Canada) and we still talk about it haha our kids loved it too ❤️
Great video and especially for me , lots of memories. Was born in Mile End Hospital, lived in Stepney and went to school in Stepney Green. During the 80s worked in the old London Hospital and been in the museum.. Was Christened in St Dunstan Church in Stepney Green..all this before moving to Bow/Poplar so thanks again for the video👌
As a South African I was blown away by this , what a fascinating part of the East End this is . Had a completely different picture of it , loved the entertainment too .
Joolz , this was a real memory jerker for me going to Stepney Jewish ( infant) , School in the 60s which is now halved in size, living next door in Stepney Green Dwellings ( now called Stepney Green Court) and having the occasional visit up the street to the Stepney Jewish Hospital (A&E ), with the various scrapes , bumps and bruises I got as an inner city Kid !
Wow
I work at the royal London hospital and was brought up around Bethnal Green and now, lots of info on here that I didn’t know, when back at work tomorrow am going to look up some of the plaques and statues you mentioned.
Thank you so much
That's fabulous to hear. Glad i could help.
collective nouns/ an impatience of wives, a proud showing of tailors, a disworship of Scots , thank you:)
Fabulous! A malapertness of tailors
@@Joolzguides a malapertness of pedlars ,a quiz of teachers ,a pride of lions 😃special thanks to you:))
A prickle of porcupines. Love them
A "gaggle of tv presenters", Esther. Not geese, the tv wallahs make much more noise !
Fascinating wander around Stepney in London with an intetesting snippet about William Booth who was the founder of the Salvation Army.
You also had Barnardo’s that was founded there too, with the Ragged School museum on the canal at Johnson Lock. Amazing that 2 institutions were founded in this small area of London with such wide reaching positive impact. I lived in Stepney for 12 or so years and found it to be a fascinating, vibrant place to live.
Having just discovered my ancestral cockney roots, i am finding your work very emotional and fascinating! I have had many'a dreams walking among these streets 🥲Thankyou for sharing all your wonderful knowledge! 🙏 blessings and stay safe
Another fantastic video Joolz! I walk all of these streets daily as I'm a Bethnal Green local, yet I was unaware of some of the details in this. Great knowledge and brilliantly conveyed too :)
🎵"now he gets his kicks in Stepney, not in Knightsbridge anymore..." 🎵
Love it. Great Stones track.
love hearing the history and admiring the amazing architecture. I look forward to walking the streets of London.
Thanks for these. My mother grew up in Stepney in the 1920s and 30s. Part of her family had lived here when it was still Old Mile End. Other ancestors came from Ireland, Poland and Devon. 🌞
Despite her house and its neighbours on Aylward St, just near Commercial Road and a spit from Whitechapel, having been demolished in the 1960s it was nice to see other buildings of their era.
Would love a show just on Call the Midwife locations. But, it may be just me interested (obsessed) with that show.
I can't stand the show but that would be a fascinating watch
What a wonderful trip down memory lane. Excellent work Joolz
My Grandad was a policeman, who received an award for his bravery at the Sidney Street Siege - His name was Walter Henry George Atkinson.
GOD I so enjoyed this video I live in Stepney from about 1961to 1972 my early childhood was spent in the worlds greatest playground that is Whitechapel ,Stepney and Poplar. I lived in Rectory Square wher we had the vicarage of St Dunstans church what memories. Tomorrow I shall drive back and show my wife around. THANK YOU
That was great. I grow up on Stepney Green road (1983-2011) and I now reside in Chicago and I can honestly say that Stepney Green road hasn't changed. That brought back a lot of great memories. The only downside of the east end is the loss of the great pubs. Next time you're in that area go to Rinkoffs in O'Leary square.
Roughly 200 East End pubs have closed since 1900.
@@sav7568 that's sad when you think about it. How many of them were in the last 20 years. I would guess a high percentage of that 200
@@chrislawless1983 Muslims don't drink
@@sav7568 lol - I was thinking the same thing
The absolute best channel in existence for travel hype, historical lessons and good English vibes. Love this channel! Good goin
A theatre-restaurant in Sydney in the 70s called The Music Hall used to put on Victorian melodramas (hiss the villain!) with one called 'The Spring Heeled Terror of Stepney Green.' It literally ran for years. That's how I first heard about Stepney.
Great - 50 years ago this month I started work at the (not yet Royal) London Hospital in this vibrant if occasionally dodgy part of the capitol and it's been fascinating to see how it has and hasn't changed since.
I remember Stepney from the Rolling Stones song "Play With Fire".
"Your ole man took her diamonds and her tiaras by the score, Now she gets her kicks in Stepney, Not in Knightsbridge any more. Don't play with me 'cause you play with fire." I wonder if the mention of Stepney was in reference to the social housing?
I love this channel! Can't stop watching! Fascinating!
Another terrific stroll through London to accompany my Sunday morning coffee here in the upper Hudson Valley. On my first visit to London, now 35 years ago, some locals dragged me to the Brick Lane Beigel Shop after the pubs closed. I guess it was something of a ritual. Is that long gone? Also, your chum with the squatter dad is a dead ringer for Marwood. Thanks, Joolz! I look forward to every new installment.
You mean Paul McGann? Ha ha!
I visit the beigel shop in my Sunday Markets Brick Lane video!
Me and my family lived in Vallance Rd for years opposite Weavers Fields. Bethnal Green was home.
Captain Cooks house is now sitting in a park in Melbourne, commonly referred to as Captain Cooks Cottage.
Absolutely wonderful video, particularly for anyone with roots in the London area. Brilliant and very enjoyable - a mind of information!
It's amazing to see London alive again! Thank you Joolz!! Greatings from Buenos Aires, Argentina
Love the Les Dawson joke!
I love the bustle of this area, stayed in an air b&b here in 2017. Love Joolz guides...glad you're back
‘I think it’s brilliant that you actually - grow food which you sell, and people eat it. That’s brilliant’ (19:24)
‘Yes. I think the concept has been around for a few years now!’ 😁
Loved it! My grandparents (Italian family) used to have a cafe there called The Empire opened in the 50s and the krays were regulars there every day
Hi Joolz, just wanted to convey my gratitude for your vignettes of London. As an exiled cockney they make me feel incredibly homesick for my home city. Always interesting and watchable. Thank you.
Spectacular episode! So many gorgeous buildings. Made us really desire to return to London for another visit. Thanks very much!
I used to go to Blooms on Whitechapel Rd for salt beef sandwiches. On a Sunday there was often a long line of Rolls' and Bentleys discharging rich Jewish former Eastenders coming back home for a bit of nosh and a get together.
The graffiti is beginning to make London look like a dump.
Excellent video again Joolz!
Here in the United States, the intellectual elite consider graffiti to be fine art. They fly into an outrage whenever property owners try to improve the appearance of the neighborhood.
When I saw you were trodding this area, I was hoping you would mention the Trinity Alms Houses. I have walked through that area many times on trips to London (my grandfather was from the East End) and wondered about the history of that place.
Thanks for the great walk Joolz. Did you know a lone crow is called "an attempted murder?".😂
Thoroughly enjoyed this walk. Thank you for taking me along.
As always, fantastic, what a city ,what a guide, greetings from Ireland.
It’s nice to be recognized. That means many folks enjoy your videos. It’s go hand and hand, you need people to enjoy and watch.
Just want I needed on a Sunday morning 👍
Born in Stepney Green now i am slumming it in the Chalfonts.
When I did my apprenticeship in the print in London, "Chalfont St. Giles" was rhyming slang for piles!
When we can finally travel again, I want Joolz to take me on all the London tours!
Love your videos Joolz. Keep the series going 👍👍
I absolutely adore these walks I love history and find the history of London fascinating.
There is something so tragic about London.
Loving a bit of Joolz on a sunny Sunday!
I love visiting London with all its history so this is wonderful to have the virtual tour!
My Great Grandma born in 10 Bedford Street Covent Garden Stepney..1847 her Father James Moore Butcher at Smithfields..EastEnders..related to the real Beal family..
Good to see you back on the walks Jools
Thank you Simon and Joolz. Muchly appreciate your tours and songs on a Sunday morning.
Always a delight on this channel. Cheers Joolz!
Lived between Whitechapel and Stepney Green just behind the Genesis cinema
Good to see you back Joolzy !
Fantastic!! Love the London tours!!
I was born in Stepney and I attended Stepney Jewish School in the 1950’s. Your walk really took me down memory lane. Thank you!
Always pleased to see a new one from you Joolz. Hope you are keeping well x
since watching your videos i have grown to love london even more.
Really interesting Joolz. Can't wait for the next video!
Good to see you back Joolz, another great walk around. Enjoyed it.
Well done, Jools; you've triumphed again!
Finally a new video! Been waiting for this since the easing of the lockdown in London. 🙂
Every Joolz video feels like a special treat. I hope the pubs are open.
@@wasabista1613 Outside drinking areas are now open, inside from May 17th we hope!
My old house was briefly on that on Stepney Green. Thought you would have relayed how that was Mile End old town Joolz, also Captain Cooks children buried in St Dunstans
@@jeremybuck1818 Great news! Let's hope it stays that way for good.
Used to live around this area - nice to see it again, albeit virtually! And lovely to see you able to finish the video in a pub once again. Cheers!
Love watching this guy!Keep them coming!
Fantastic Joolz ,great to see we might be going back to life and cant wait to visit !
Thanks as always, Joolz and Simon. Great to see you back with a pint in your hand too
Another wonderful description of people and places in London. Thank you.
Love your content Joolz - was really fun seeing this in the area I live in.
Absolute Gold again Joolz. ⭐
Perfect way to end the weekend (on this side of the world) - to daydream about returning to London. Excellent video!
Another great video Joolz. I enjoyed catching up with you today. It is good to see London starting to open up again.
You cheer me up Joolz, thank you 😊 x
My family live in Whitechapel starting in the 1850s as part of the Chut migration (Dutch Jews). I would love to see you do a tour based around the Jewish history of London!
Good to see London coming back to life
the best story telling history of london. thank you joolz
Charming as always Julian. Cheers!
Thanks Jools. I love your vids, they cheer me up no end. It’s uplifting when you release a new video! ✌️
Another great video Joolz. Thank you 😊
I so look forward to Joolz Guides videos ....eating my lunch enjoying the virtual tours of the UK
Just discovered this wonderful geezer and his wonderful commentary of London. Going to have to check the rest of his videos now. Cheered me up as my old queen is in hospital at the moment, thanks mate.
Amazing and informative episode of one of my favourite parts of London! Thanxalot!
Joolz, you are a treasure, Sir. Endlessly engaging and interesting
Thanks for another great video Joolz 🙂👍
Another brilliant video love these always look forward to them could watch them all day which sometimes I do keep them coming 👏
Great episode Joolz, you have inspired me to start my own CZcams channel! I have been making videos on London as well,
Nothing better than walking around and discovering more about this wonderful city!
I love your videos and this is very much my neck of the woods so I was so excited to see you covered it! Didn’t think there was so much to see around me !
London is one of my favorite cities. Unfortunately, we are currently unable to travel the way we want, so your videos are all the more interesting for me. Thanks for that!
