Joolz Guides - London History Walks - Travel Films Joolz I absolutely love your short and most interesting guide to London, really cool and informative, I have been trying to get people to watch!!!! Keep posting them!! 🙏👍

I remember a story that was going round in the early 50's about an American couple visiting Speaker's Corner and sitting in their car listening to a harangue against the Monarchy. They saw a policeman approaching and expected the man to be arrested for the things he was shouting but he leaned in the window of the car and said, "Would you mind turning off your engine sir, the people can't hear what the man is saying."

Happy to know we weren't the only ones pondering the odd placement of Marble Arch. You can't really tell from pictures that it's entirely isolated and looks like they just couldn't decide what to do with it so left it on a sidewalk. Love your vids, Joolz; keep up the good work!

I used to go a very long time ago, and found the hecklers were very witty, and the good speakers gave as good as they got. All of which made for great entertainment.

Hello, I am Jen T.. My husband and I met you on Lambeth Bridge on Friday night, March 23, 2018. Your videos really helped us prepare for our trip and learn a lot about London. Thank you very much! It was nice to meet you and we will sing your praises and pass the word.

Marble Arch is also the start of the important A5 road to Holyhead, North Wales. The A5 was used for the postal service from Dublin, Ireland by stage coach to London and via versa.

Another Joolz Guides gem. I need a thesaurus to find some more superlatives in order to continue to laud Joolz and his" 20 fascinating facts per minute" vids. Thank you Mr. Joolz, I feel I need to just "give in" & get on Twitter only to properly follow you, (as you sometimes sorta/kinda hint at). I guess it wouldn't hurt me that much to start up an acct. I've yet to get back on my FB account to be amongst my brethren that have so smartly drunken the Joolz "Kool Aid". I'm hoping for 3 tours ideally in late spring. I'd push someone in front of a moving cyclist just to get one of your mini kites. AND I like you even more for using a good old, high brow word like "SCUZZY". Bravo Jools.

Nice coat, Julian!

You look really elegant today.This black coat and red scarf suit you. Your video strikes with a wealth of new words and information.Cheers.

The modern “road” around the south side of Marble Arch was built in the early 1960s when Park Lane was dualled.

Very entertaining

It is said that the two daughters retrieved Cromwell’s body, no head, that was thrown into a ditch, and took it to St Nicholas Church, Church Street Chiswick W4. The crypt of Cromwell’s two daughters was opened by the vicar in the late 1800`s and a third coffin was found? Due to the notoriety of Cromwell , it was all bricked up and so it stand’s to this day. I was baptised there and grew up with the story. William Hogarth is buried along with his wife in the grounds. His house, which is still standing and open free to the Public is just up the road on the A4.

Used to love going to speakers corner in the 1970s.

​@@Joolzguides On the corner of Upper Berkeley Street and Seymour Place. Fun fact: In its cellars there were death row cells for those to be hanged at Tyburn.

Far more than just a memorial - those who were offed at Tyburn were buried nearby, until the area was developed. What remained was moved to a charnel house in the graveyard of the convent. Connaught Place was the prestigious home of William IV's estranged wife Queen Caroline. Built on marshland, its walls started to subside in the 1980s, and excavation revealed quite extraordinary foundations, the walls rested on brick tunnels about a foot square. Research in the London Library revealed the answer: the builders had repurposed the wood from the gallows and spectators stands as a raft to build on. No 5 Connaught Place was severely damaged in WW2 by a bomb whith landed in the "area" between the building and the roundabout. When they tidied up, some considerable time later, a body was discovered under the pile of earth. Was he an unfortunate passer by in the wrong place at the wrong time? A convenient place for acriminal demise? Nobody knows.
