This was the first Joolz Guides video I saw and I went to see the Roman timbers after climbing the Monument and stopping by All Hallows by the Tower on the very day I arrived. I love London so much! Hello from Costa Rica, Joolz. Hope you come to visit us some day! ;D

Love the vids, Joolz! Keep em coming! I've been going through all of your videos to catch up. Ta!

Your videos are the best. I could spend the whole day watching your wonderful tours of my favorite city. Greetings from Dallas

I’ve been to London once, and can’t wait until I visit again. These videos only reinforce that desire to visit again! Thank you from Florida, USA Joolz!

Love all your London videos. I visited London, Manchester and Liverpool in September 2019. I walked across London Bridge both ways on a gray, overcast and windy day. Very chilly and windy on that bridge but what a magnificent view! Luckily there is a very nice coffee shop at the foot of the bridge.

I'm catching up on the oldies! This was an excellent walk round all the sometimes gruesome but fascinating streets - loved the last bit with the Roman paving. As you say "touching history". On my bucket list!

Joolz, thank you for this video and amazing tour. Ive been living in London for few years and never visited the churches you showed in your video. My friend is coming to visit me today and I know what we are doing at the weekend! Thank you again :)

As an Englishman with many hundreds of years of traceable ancestry from the West Country, I'm enjoying your videos of our capital city. I really should visit London more often. Only been about 15 or so times and there's much more to it than meets the eye.

The facts fly at an extraordinary rate. Keep up the good work. Subscribed.

Thank you very much for taking me down memory lane. Such excellent work. I was born in London 1961, as were mother& my grandparents. I can remember my grandmother singing all those lovely old songs. My mother and her had to spend time in the underground during the war I was born in the borough of hackney, Stamford hill. Bethune rd, it is where my parents lived when they first married, as they worked in Golders Green. In 1962 they moved to Dunstable. Always in London until recently. I will see what I can do about a donation. Regards Julie Harnett

LIke most Americans, I thought Tower Bridge was London Bridge and when I first came to London, My English nephew, who grew up in London, he was showing me around town and was telling me Uncle Evan, are you sure you want to see London Bridge not Tower Bridge, because London Bridge is kinda just a plain bridge, but I insisted, no I want to see London Bridge, and he was like, okay - when we got there I was like, Oh....your'e right...wah wah

Joolz, it was Penn's son who started the colony in Pennsylvania. I suspect someone else has mentioned this, but there it is. The contemporary of Pepys had a strained relationship with the diarist, and Pepys often railed against Penn in his diary. Interesting reading, although Pepys usually spoke of the naughtier escapades in Spanish or French.

I was actually in London Bridge less than an hour before the attack (spent the afternoon having a couple of pints). Great video, you missed the new cavern under London Bridge station. It's huge, it's amazing what can be done with a billion pounds! It's funny how the stigma of South London being a dodgy area still exists to today. Maybe you could do a video following the wall and how it has shaped modern London?

Sold to McCulloch(sp?) who started the city of Lake Havasu Arizona. It is being taken care of, still has bullet holes from the Blitz. Interesting place to visit, once. 🤣

As always, great video. Did you know that the fire monument was built as a scientific instrument, a zenith telescope. There is a small laboratory underneath and an apparatus that can look up the middle of the stairwell, and the top can be opened up to allow a line of sight to the sky. Each step is accurately set to a specific depth. I’m not sure what you said about the kings statue on top being the original intent is true as the gold fire statute was designed like that to open up. Also, a historian has recently published that he has located the location the great fire started, it’s not actually in pudding lane but in Monument Street. His arguments have been verified by some significant others in the history community.

The sale of London Bridge turned out good for both Robert McCulloch and London. McCulloch knew he was buying London Bridge and not Tower Bridge. London Bridge helped turn a lake in the middle of the desert into one of Arizona's biggest tourist attractions(besides the Grand Canyon) and tourist resorts. In the US we grow up singing "London Bridge is falling down"

I do feature the tower of London briefly in my London Pass video but it can be difficult getting access to big places. They make life hard for film makers. Also I prefer less well known places as there is quite a lot out there about the Tower, but it would be nice I agree

In your ongoing pub crawl it would be really cool if you could get a drink with the Yeoman Warders in their private pub in the Tower. It would be invitation only of course, and they might not fancy having their pub filmed. Just a thought.

I lived in London for about 3 years and did nothing but trudge to work and back in a haze of exhaustion. Such a shame to think all this was there to be absorbed if I had a minute. A treasure lost.

There is an old 80's B horror movie about the London bridge in Arizona ' Terror at London Bridge '

Great video. It's definitely a myth re the supposed confusion as to what bridge the American chap thought he was buying. Good story though.
