Hackney Wick and Victoria Park - Cool Places to See in London
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 тра 2024
- Hackney Wick is a very cool area in East London with loads of bars and new artistic developments and stuff. Strewn all over the place is evidence of Hackney Wick's industrial past. In this video we walk from Victoria Park and through Lauriston Road taking in some interesting and cultural sights along the way.
There is the usual irreverent banter from Simon and Joolz and plenty of historical facts and fun street furniture to spot.

Luxury flats n the Luftwaffe are main themes ...You deffo stoned on Cali weed....The more the episode goes on the more convinced....still aint like your having a boot up
Any chance of that bird who's with you sometimes getting her kit off on London statues....Real filth
I had a great time staying in Hackney Wick as an American, Clark Hunt gave me a very warm and inviting time across the pond
I lived at Hackney Wick for many years and I used to pass the (Then) closed down 'Lord Napier' pub on the way to work.
Back i the early 1960's, I used to go there for a couple of pints.
It cost about two shillings (10p) then.
Everywhere that Joolz has been in this video, has been a long walk down 'memory Lane,' for me.
So, a BIG " THANK YOU" Jools and Simon.
I dont have to go to london anymore. I just watch Joolz
The London Chest Hospital was here because it was said the air quality was the best in London. Also in the 70’s we swam in the lake and used to tow o we to the island in the middle . The rose gardens were beautiful .
Every time you upload a video our family makes it an evening event. Thank you for all the information and lovely videos. Keep up the good work.
My pleasure 😊
Can't wait for my next trip to London to view all the historic buildings made into luxury flats! (from Oz)
Excellent video Joolz! I'm from Los Angeles and have visited London seven times in the last 20 years. I often watch your videos before I write my TO DO list when I'm in London. I was just there this past June 2022, and I saw two places that you featured in your videos: St Pancras Old Church and Temple Church. Both were fascinating places to visit. I was also lucky enough to run into to you just at the entrance to Primrose Hill Park. Didn't really talk to you but I did shake your hand and we said "hello!" I'm a teacher in LA and I just used one of your videos as I taught a lesson on the Knight's Templar. Keep up the good work!
Perfect. I was born and bred here. What wonderful memories . Lives down lauriston road in park side estate .
Hello from California (U.S.) and thank you so much for sharing the wonders of greater London.
I always enjoy watching your vids, especially during these times.
Another great video! Local legend around the dog statues is that a child was drowning in the lake and two dogs ran in to pull him out, then the statues were out in as a memorial. Don't know how true it is. They were badly vandalised and nearly destroyed at one point. Always was my favourite thing to see in the park as a kid.
Watching again and still love “change their hooves”
Brilliant Joolz!
Joolz is the best 👌 I really don't know why a media company doesn't snap you up...
Back in the late 90's I worded for a cab firm that had Planet 24 as one of their accounts. We used to pick up the stars and staff. My first celebrity was Dave Allen, a very nice man.
I lived on and off around those parts for 20 years. I never knew most of that. Thank you Joolz. I miss old Hackney Wick and it's artist energy. A meeting point for West Ham supporters now.
I love the witty banter between Joolz and Simon. Thanks for another great walk.
Thanks for another quality video Joolz.. Love your work...always informative and a great sense of humour 👌
I lived in the 4 story Victorian houses on Old Ford Road opposite the Vicky Park boating lake. My grandad was park keeper and lived in Llanover lodge at the Crown gates, it’s the most beautiful park & an oasis in the east end. Great memories of the park including the swings & the Lido in the long summers. Fantastic era.
Thank-you from New Zealand. Looking forward to visiting London again.
We ❤️ Hackney. More Hackney rambles please. Especially now that Hackney is now on the map.
They're Exchange stables. They're used to swap the Mules and Donkeys so they don't over work them to death. They would also clean the hoofs and replace horse shoes if need be.
I love seeing spots I recognise from canal cycles through London. So many facts I never knew about.
Your films are easily the best thing to happen in UA-cam these days. I have given in - just for once - to my impulses and I’ve gotten into a binge of them.
Another great one Joolz..
Always a pleasure to see Hackney.. A world apart from the Hackney I once knew so well.
Good to see the ever ongoing evolution...
I find it hard to believe that the plethora of historical tidbits are not scripted, but the delivery is so casual and serendipitous I come to believe he’s a genius.
I can not understand why this channel has not hit a million subscribers
This one has to be one of the best! I used to live in Hackney in the late 90's and I keep fond memories ever since. You are doing a great work fellas and I wish you all the best ☘
Thanks for coming back to Hackney
Spiffing episode Joolz! Hackney seems definitely worth a visit, especially during the marvellous weather we've been blessed by. A beer by the canal on a sunny day ... heaven on earth!
be careful though; theres these 2 guys alex and vince who are notorious fingerers in the area
Probably the best channel on u-tube .
Wow that's taken me back, I worked in Hamlet Industrial Estate for 15 years on White Post lane in the print trade of which the whole area was full of print companies. Excellent vid.
Great vid
I spent a lot of my childhood in and around Victoria park, and also work in fish island, Percy daltons.
So great blast from the past.
Knew most of the info you gave about the park, apart from the church, wow never knew that, so thank you.
Will leave a donation.
Splendidly done and in a record breaking heatwave no less. Simon is so wonderful at filming, and Julian oh Julian you are an absolute treasure! Much love. Cheers xo
@Ralph Reilly Depends when he recorded the video. If it was on the 18th or 19th, then it was indeed record-breaking.
I'm originally from Bethnal Green and occasionally me and my mates would go to the lido at Vicky Park. Long gone.
Graffiti everywhere now.
Jolly wonderful video. You have often been drolly derisive of the transformation of London landmarks into "luxury flats", but it is simultaneously sad and wonderful to see original edifices preserved, even if the interiors are inaccessible to anyone on a normal budget.
Happy Sunday Joolz Guides and fans!
A we Sunday treat as always. Loved the Big Breakfast too, they just don't make TV like that any more, reminds you how special the 90's were.
Very entertaining video. This is one of my favourite areas of London, particularly in the summer. Another first for the Wick (in a former factory next to the Lord Napier) was the invention of the perforated toilet roll in, I think, the 1860s!
Love you Joolz... I'm in London when i'am not there watching your walks, thanks and greetings from Switzerland
I actually appeared on the big breakfast years ago! when Johnny Vaughn hosted it, the brickwork on that house is actually painted on! the only real bricks are on the chimney!😂
These little gems about London would make ideal ten minute shorts between television prorammes.
We have cooking, history, and quiz shows, but nothing about our own city.
Always a pleasure to see a Joolz upload. Cheers lads! 💜🌞
Welcome back mr jools and thank you for yet another amazing London history tour
Fantastic video once again Joolz! Fascinating every time, please come back down to south west london so much history tucked away… Wandsworth, Wimbledon, Tooting, Merton…
Thank you Joolz for turning me onto "The Big Breakfast". I managed to discover that although the show was on tele from 1988-2002, it's recently made a comeback, restarting mid Aug 2022.
So just like Doctor Who, British television never stays dead 😁
Thanks Joolz it’s always a pleasure watching you bring some joy to UA-cam !
As soon as you said "old ford lock" my brain went: "2 Lock Keepers' Cottages, Old Fold Lock, London, E3 2NN" How can I remember the Big Breakfast's address from 25 years ago, and not my own address now??
I see that and and raise you ‘Blue Peter, BBC Television Centre, Wood Lane, London W12 8QT’ - Stuck in my brain from 50 years ago!
@@AtheistOrphan Ha! That's impressive! I used to remember the Live and Kicking postal address as well, but that's been pushed out now!
I lived near the park for 28 years, AND, due to my acting student girlfriend, became an egg on the Big Breakfast's 'Break an Egg' competition for a week! Paula Yates, Mark from Neighbours, Chris Evans came into the green room and sat next to me showing me photos of Cher.
Not the same cottages in the opening shots as the big breakfast ones were on the other canal that he finally gets to😊. The one at Victoria Park is different.. How do I know that?my gt grandfather and gt uncle were the lock keepers at Old Ford Rd Victoria Park lock as shown on the video in the beginning ... Sad seeing it in such a state now with all that graffiti
Imagine if that is your postcode except for the last letter (I live a few minutes walk away) 😃 think it every time I write my address down 😅
I can't get over the amount of graphitti on buildings and structures in so many of your videos.
Thanks again for another brilliant stroll around London with Joolz and Simon. Ta! And Cheers! 👍
I've never seen so much graffiti, as on a load of those buildings in the area, Joolz. There's so many facts that you've covered on this video, it's so interesting indeed. The canal area looks fantastic and so relaxing. Many thanks for this video production.
The graffiti is horrible there 😏
Graffiti is also a form of gang activity leaving messages
still my fav London guide and ministry of information channel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! banned from the pubs
Love this video. Thanks for showing us what we wouldn't see otherwise. 💚
Brilliant to see you back sir
Another good one Joolz. Good viewing with a Sunday afternoon cup of tea. Chin chin
Lovely video, it made me quite nostalgic, I used to drink in the Falcon and Firkin in Victoria Park Road. BTW, Newcastle Brown is not brewed in Newcastle anymore but in Leeds.
Wonderful! I was there on holiday 3 weeks ago. Amazing - thank you!😀
Joolz, one of your best videos so far… informative but so funny 👍👍👍
Hands up who went to raves there in the 90s……. Now old and watch London videos with cups of coffee
I was working on site of one of those blocks of apartments on fish island back around 2004 was pretty run down then! I remember there was a chicken slaughter place near by as there was always lorry’s parked up with boxes of live chickens on the trailer, there was a brilliant builders cafe! Hands down best cafe I’ve ever been to and we used to go and sit in the big breakfast house garden at lunch time as it was all shut and fenced of then
Absolutely adore and is fascinated by the stories of post boxes.
Thank you for a thoroughly wonderful walk around Hackney Wick ♡
Lovely boater! Looks like great summer weather.
looking forward to this one! cheers
Another Happy Sunday with Joolz💝
Thank you for another quality video love watching them.😊♥️
So, so love your videos, stay cool Joolz!
Thanks, Joolz. Loved the walk around Victioria Park. It's fun when you point out the details, like the stink pipe and post boxes. It feels like we're part of your club. Well done !
Great video as always thanks 😊
This is the one and only thing I wait for. Bloody tremendous! HOORAH!
Excellent as ever Joolz, Up spirits...
I moved to E3 by the canal a year ago, there is so much history thank you for sharing. Loved your work!
The undoing of your bow tie is only impressive if you can actually prove mummy didn't fasten it for you before Simon arrived 😏😂. I tend to find after watching each episode it gives me a sense that my entire schooling education was simply a waste of everyone's time and effort 😅. Still better late than never. Another great insightful and informative video of London history, and excellent camera work, most deserving of a crust of bread and glass of stagnant water 😅✌️
Another masterpiece Joolz would love to see you doing Holloway Road and nags head, my old neck of the woods 👍
Great video. My old Endz. Memories of me out of breath running a full lap of Victoria park.
Thanks Joolz...that's me happy again!
I just love your vids Joolz ❤
Excellent work as usual Joolz! Jimmy Moody getting mentioned, that's some great knowledge right there!
good to see you back
Super splendid video. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Love watching your videos history is so amazing carry on your great work
Thank you Joolz ! The sauce on my Sunday Dinner.
When you said Old Ford Lock, I was going, why do I know that?? Fantastic video again, amazing just how much has changed in that area
Amazing video, once again a load of history that I didn't know about in the capital.
Excellent joolz so informative ...you should have a regular slot on tv ..you've got star quality 👌
Love your videos joolz!!
Joolzs you are fantastic your videos are wonderful.
Cheers, Joolz & Simon! 🍻
Thanks Joolz, another spiffing video! Could not believe that you started at the top of my road by Bonner Gate! Cheers for that, it’s now my claim to fame👍🏿😍 keep your videos coming, I really enjoy them😊
Very interesting narration thank you!
Majestic presentation, editing/camerawork. I always think about your work ethic to knock out these films, Bravo my friend, Bravo.
Thank you, interesting as always
Love your guides , I’m going there next week , not been to hackney before , but looks nice
It's the Morpeth CASTLE at 11:40. Further down was the Mitford Castle PH [demolished] about 8 years ago which had become the Top O' The Morning in latter years, renamed after a win on the gee-gees I think.
Another cracking vid...lovely meeting u @ The Angel last week !
You are such a hoot - love your videos ❤
Just like to say that was a great video to watch and also amazing
Another superb video. They should give him a tv show.
I was in Germany back in 1983, US military training for three weeks. I regret not hoping on a tour bus, instead I enjoyed the night club, we sneak off base. I did enjoy the foods esespecially French fries and mayonnaise. Yummy 😋. Pretty cool cologne.
Thank you for another great video mate. All the best from Australia 👍🇦🇺
Thank you 🙏🏻🤗🎈thoroughly enjoy your videos!!!!
