There is another guy who does London videos who managed to get on Amazon prime. You are in a different league to his ones . I don't know if he was approached or if he approached them. Have you looked in to that ? I watch a lot of travel type documentarys and I must say that you'd be perfect for a TV show doing this or something similar . I think you're great.

I do so agree. Please stop saying "who cares". All of us who follow you do!

Your videos just get funnier and more entertaining. They are tailor made for LWT, Thames or whoever covers that region these days. Why hasn't one of the TV channels signed you up? Have a word with your agent. There's nothing on regular TV that comes even close to what you are producing. Keep it up.

The way you present London is timeless and a sweet refresh , really enjoy 10:14 parliament hill , every time i was going there it was an uplift of feelgood and a perspective adjustment for my Londoner life . Kudos to the cameraman by the way .

Well done! Love all your videos. Been telling my friends about your channel.

Thank you. Thanks. Ta. So very grateful for these videos. Love your humour and song and dance knowledge. These mean a lot to me. 😊

Your videos, not only teach me why the names, or historical events happened, and show me beautiful parts of London, but they also make me laugh. You are a very nice, intelligent, and funny person! Thanks a lot!

I must say it's a huge nostalgia kick watching your great videos now that I'm stuck in a godforsaken part of the north,ensconced in the mountains and beyond the reach of civilisation! The Gloucester Road segment was particularly nostalgic as I spent much of my time in the early nineties using the facilities at the London Film Co-Op. Happy days

Every video is informative, entertaining and binge watched..."Argh one more video won't hurt" he says at 1am. Great work Joolz!!! Keep up the good work.

I'm really enjoying your videos, I too love Columbo! My favorite episode is Any Port in a Storm

Love this video Joolz! Your knowledge of London always amazes me. We didn't get to meet up last Autumn but I will be back in October and will definitely be booking a walk about with you!! keep the videos coming

Hubby and I used to go country dancing in Cecil Sharp House, lovely to see it and PrimroseHill as well

The Rolling Stones had their "Between the Buttons" Album photo shot on Primrose Hill after an all night recording session....and Paul McCartney, spotted a mysterious man who was just behind him on the hill one early morning (after an all night Abbey Rd session) who suddenly disappeared not to be seen anywhere,...and wrote "Fool on the Hill" inspired by that experience.... Down at the Camden Lock area is Dingwall's, a very iconic punk bar which hosted legendary bands during the 70's-early 80's.....Also, the Roundhouse could be seen nearby, another iconic venue, which hosted bands from the Doors to the Ramones. The Clash had their rehearsal space just around the lock too (cover on an album photographed there too). Perhaps you could make a Part II version of this area,....omitting the Movie Stars and Victorian Era chaps and focusing on Rock n' Rollers (although you did mention 'Madness'!). I was a 20 year old American lad who spent the Spring & Summer of 1980 staying a block away from Chalk Farm Station....it was such a memorable time, I found myself wanting to know more about the area for years later.....I wish I'd knew then what I've learned from your video.

I think you've rekindled my love for London with your videos. I knew about Chalk Farm station being the Madness album cover never knew about the Winchester club though so thanks for that . Primrose Hill was also the place they shot the album cover for their Rise & Fall album & one of 100 or so of my favourite Madness songs on there is Primrose Hill which is the closest to poetry Madness ever came. Incidentally as an Idea they did an excellent album called "The Liberty of Norton Folgate" maybe a video on that part of London?

Very entertaining and informative. At certain moments on your tour you were very near to where Sylvia Plath lived/died, and also to fashion photographer David Bailey's house/studio. I was lucky enough to live in a flat in Primrose Hill for six months in the 80s despite being skint. Every time someone visited we'd all end up on the hill looking at the best view of London.
