Have you considered doing a series called something like "An Englishman in......" followed by : New York, Washington, Philadelphia...wherever...NOT Nashville though...Louise already did that. 😉. I think the yanks would LOVE it! Pip pip.
I think Chiswick is the westernmost you have come to film, isn't it? I said it once, and I will say it again: we are waiting for you in Richmond and Twickenham. If you like, we can start in my place with a nice morning coffee, and then 'go walkabout'. I'm strategically located in Cambridge Park (which is neither in Cambridge, nor a park. So, something like the Holy Roman Empire.).
I find great comfort in hearing Joolz voice when watching his program. It gives me peace when I'm feeling anxious and sad. I binge-watched many of his shows when I was severely detoxing from alcohol during the pandemic - 5 days of physical sickness and mental hopelessness. He kept my mind on all the beautiful things in life. Thank you, Julien.
The reason why you are surprised by South London is that we try to keep it a secret, otherwise all of North London will want to move in. The rather ornate railway bridges were a requirement of the Dulwich College Estate who owned most of the land. This was originally in the ownership of Elizabethan actor/manager Edward Alleyn, hence the reference to him also.
Hallo Mr. Joolz, being Italian I wish to highlight a minor detail: house in italian is CASA, a little house is CASETTA. CASINO is a hunting lodge (casino di caccia) where to play music/sports, having lunch, teas with few, selected guests.
I've always said this man is the quintessential English man and now it never feels like a Sunday unless my Family Roast is beginning its prep with Joolz on too. Peeling Carrots and Parsnips whilst learning about Herne Hill..lovely stuff
I used to live on Denmark Hill when I was young. We lived opposite Freddie Mills the boxer, played in Ruskin Park. This has brought back a lot of memories.
I could live there quite happily. Very reminiscent of my beloved Hampstead. Unfortunate about the flood, but looks like they were able to keep the character of the place rather than use that as an excuse to tear it all down. Thanks again, Joolzy, for the lovely walk!
Yes, we have William Booth in Abney Cemetery. One of his generals is nearby with the marvellous phrase "Promoted to Glory" etched on his headstone. Heard you on the radio this morning, it was great. Sorry to hear about your mum.
Quite a nice surprise to see a road with the name Rosendale Road. Me myself live in the city of Roosendaal in the Netherlands, and the meaning is exactly the same (valley of roses). What a happy coincidence!
1:16 - GGS also designed Cambridge University Library, of which this is highly reminiscent! It's great to see Brockwell Lido - I remember it from Lucy Blakstad's 1995 Modern Times documentary on BBC2. I wondered if you would wander to Nunhead Cemetery, one of the Magnificent Seven. It is surely worth a return video!
I live in New Zealand and visited friends in London in July this year. I stayed in a house opposite the Carnegie Library. Spent a lot of time wandering around the Herne Hill area. Bought back memories and helped fill in the historic background.
A friend of mine who entered a cycle courier event at Herne Hill Velodrome about 15 years ago and he came first in a race and won a nice new track frameset, anyway he got it built up and decided to start getting involved with training at Herne Hill and I think it was on his second training race that he was involved in a nasty crash and said he will never cycle on a velodrome ever again. I must say he did look very battered and bruised and that was about 2/3 weeks after the crash. I think he had a few bikes with riders go over him and the kitchen sink.
Another excellent, informative video Sir. If that was a beret on Michael Crawords place, that's genius, we need to start a trend and get others put up, a mac for Peter Falk, a question mark umbrella for Sylvester McCoy, a lightsaber for Alec Guiness, the list is endless.....
Thanks for posting a new video joolz my mother recently passed away and she loved your videos, she went to London around 20 ago and she love it there I hope to go to London one day soon. Greetings from New York.
grew up in west london, sheperdsbush you have taught me more in a couple of videos then i knew in all my early thirty years of living there. very informative and entertaining.
I listened to your conversation with Robert Elms this lunchtime, and was pleased to hear this latest adventure. There are many interesting parts of “Sarf” London, Wandsworth common being one of many. Look forward to the next instalment,thanks Joolz
It's so cool to see my home town on here. Didn't expect Denmark Hill and ruskin park to be in this herne hill vid as I always thought it was in camberwell. Also it's alleyn's college not Alan.
Thanks as always for yet another entertaining (and brilliantly choreographed) escapade Mr Joolz. Those parakeets got the treatment they deserved. I referred your Swiss Cottage episode to a friend of mine who is a counsellor, for the section on the Freud museum, and he ended up watching the whole episode, commenting upon you "What an engaging fellow!" I couldn't have put it better myself. I think I know what book I will be buying him for Christmas.
I lived in the William Booth college for 2 years in the 70's, very tough training, not the happiest days of my life. We used to march down Denmark Hill every week with a band to hold meetings. That was in my former life lol
Hi Amanda, I remember the Salvation Army marching. I used to go to Lyndhurst junior school just around the corner. I’ve often wondered when the Salvation Army stopped marching, do you know when and why they stopped? Also despite using Denmark Hill station often I haven’t seen anyone in a Salvation Army uniform since the early 2000s, maybe longer. Have they ditched the uniform?
This video is very compulsive viewing, Joolz. Every aspect, in fact every minute is just so full of interesting history of this most delightful suburb of South London. There's a surprise round every corner, and especially with the architecture of the wonderful buildings. A much desired area to dwell, I would imagine. Many thanks for this marvellous presentation, Joolz. Keep well.
I spent a good deal of my childhood in Brockwell Park, either at the Lido or just playing in the park. Later as a teenager I had a Saturday job in a hairdressers just along from Herne Hill Station. Such happy memories and wonderful to see Herne Hill again!
The video was excellent and very informative. I found out so much about the area I’ve been living in for most of my life. I didn’t know about the Effra river running underneath Effra road and I wasn’t aware that Roddy MacDowell, close friend of Elizabeth Taylor lived at 204 Herne Hill Road, he definitely deserves a blue plaque. I’d not notice the small plaque outside the house where John Ruskins house once stood despite walking past it on many occasions. I also often wondered what the quadrangle building used to be, absolutely fascinating stuff, thank you so much. Joolz, you mentioned North Dulwich station, had you walked just 50 metres further up the road towards North Dulwich station you would of walked past Ardbeg road which has 2 blue plaque’s, one plaque is for the famous Hollywood actress Ida Lupino who was born there. She lived there with her parents, her father was a well known actor & singer at that time who appeared on Broadway Stanly Lupino, who also has a blue plaque. Oh by the way just a small detail, the flood in Herne Hill happened in 2013 not 15 or 20 years ago, it was due to a burst water main. All the shops and the pub were closed for a couple of years but fortunately as we can see in this excellent video everything went back to normal. Dulwich/Herne Hill is a lovely area… Thanks Joolz
That was fun to watch. I was born at 212 Camberwell Grove and attended Dog Kennel Hill Primary School in '53/'54 after which we moved to Canada. Sadly as we had no strong ties to the area, we didn't return to the area until '95 when we were vsiting London. (Back in the early 50's, my dad's sister and family lived on Denmark Hill Rd.)
Thanks, as always, a great video. I do adore Herne Hill. Spent many years in the area. Then Gypsy Hill, Streatham Common, and then St Martins. Still know people in the area, and they still adore it.
I lived in Kings College Hall, Champion Hill up from the Fox in the mid 70s. As a medical student at Kings we played rugby and tennis in Dog Kennel Hill or "doggers" as it was then known. What a blast from the past! In 1976, during that hot summer, we used to go swimming in Brockwell Park lido. It was free before 8 o'clock and then we went off to the hospital for lectures and ward rounds. Thank you for the great video.
Thanks Joolz. Can we get one on the Frognal part of Hampstead please? Frognal Rise / Frognal Gardens. There are a bunch of incredible historical houses around there. Cheers!
Thank you for another fascinating episode, I love your videos you bring a little sunshine on a grey winters day, here in Staffordshire any way. God bless you ❤
My nan and grandad raised 10 kids in the flats in Tulse hill andI used to work in the big house in Brockwell park and living in Streatham hill. Croydon born and now living down the road still in croydon next to Mitcham common . My nan was born and raised in Lambeth and have family history here going back over 4/5 generations. You could say that i'm a proper SAAAAAFF londoner 😁🤪😎
South London has just as good a life as you north Londoners. From a south east Londoner. I do say though, learning about my manor from someone who himself is exploring these areas is great to hear. Very descriptive and enjoyable.
Nice video Joolz and Herne Hill is a great place to live. I used to live in the maisonettes just to the right of the Dorchester estate. Enjoyed jogging in Ruskin and Brockwell Parks. Nice to see those lovely cottages along Casino Ave again and used to walk past them on the way to North Dulwich station. Great Transport links there.
just heard you on the radio with Robert Elms, charming and engaging as ever, you spoke about new places to visit, how about De Beauvoir in Hackny? used to live there and it's a great oasis's of tranquility. Cheers
As someone who's lived in the area for 11 years now, it was nice to see an outside, but informed, perspective. The only thing you missed was the fabulous art deco house behind Dorchester Court.
Oh my god he was standing outside my mums old house looking down the Cul-de-sac in Casino Avenue. Lovely to see Herne Hill again. Was a good place to live.
There is a Carnegie library in Southall too, but it closed years ago, but the building still stands. It has knowledge is power embossed in the floor, and Carnegie library on the appex of the roof. Thanks Joolz your content is great entertainment 👍
Another great walk Joolz ! I agree with someone else’s comment on here, that a new video combined with a roast dinner makes a nice Sunday afternoon 🚶♂️📽️🎬🍽️
Hello Joolz, thank you for another very enjoyable video. I have only been once to Herne Hill, but thought it nice. I live adjacent to Richmond Park and the parokeets can drive you crazy....but they are pretty birds. I lived in Ireland a while and they had Carnegie Library there as well. I am off to UK next week and will buy your book as a present to myself as I have learnt such a lot from you.
I used to live in Sunray Avenue just along from North Dulwich Station and seeing you in the Gardens (with the pond) reminds me of many happy days The beauty about Herne Hill , is that you are on the doorstep of Dulwich Park/Village, Brixton is within walking distance and Clapham not much further. Brockwell Park is one of my favourite parks in all of London and there is something particularly special about the park in the height of summer. It has this amazing welcoming atmosphere which i think is unique and reflects the nature of the area.
This brought back many memories as my grandparents lived at 154 Herne Hill Road almost opposite an entrance to Ruskin Park where I spent many a happy time. We lived in Brixton for seven years so Brockwell Park was also my playground. Being a small child at the time I didn't see much else of the area so it was great to see a different perspective.
My body clock is attuned to the due dates of a new Joolz Guide! I was all anticipation and aquiver last night, thanks!! I believe there was a Velodrome in my area of Wood Green, off Bounds Green Road.. I'm sure I read that somewhere...
Hi Jules I do learn a lot by listening to your wonderful videos I also find myself looking at London a different way most people look down in London I look up!
Verging on Dulwich! Edward Alleyn was the one who founded the College of God's Gift which became Dulwich College (along with two other schools in the area). Definitely worth covering Dulwich itself, I recommend Brian Green's books on its history.
Just near the fox on the hill,was where Freddie Mills lived,The world champion boxer,also,in Camberwell grove,just near Denmark hill station,was where Terry jones lived & died,& Michael palin also lived on the grove,many famous people live there today.I would love you to walk around Camberwell one day,lots of history there.
So many beautiful buildings,all taken for granted,so pleased there are people like you who still are interested an care,when left UK in the sixties they had started pulling all the lovely houses down,my Aunt lived in a beautiful place called moat house,use to be hotel turned into flats,then of course it was pulled down,think it came under Denmark hill,
Your new sweater find 👍 totally rocked - it’s more Freddy Kruger than Dennis the Menace! It totally IS Frank Spencer’s beret hat - another brilliant fine and is super cool! Loved Michael Crawford in “”some mother’s do have em”-brings back memories of watching reruns with my mum -she loved him 🥰and never cared when my dad would roll his eyes every time the show came on lol😅 Congrats on your new website. Gonna check on it!
I bought your book well in advance of a trip to England in October knowing that I'd be making my first foray into big scary London. Then I decided that even the small book would take up too much space in my carry-on stuffed for an eighteen-day trip so I bought the PDF and downloaded it. Then, in a final frenzy of packing and preparing I entirely failed to load the PDF onto my phone and/or laptop. Glad to say that I was sufficiently schooled by your vlogs and a skimming of the book to find quite a few of they places you've covered although a lot of that might have been by random chance since my wanderings in the city were entirely unscripted. With luck, come the Spring I'll be better prepared for another couple of weeks in London and Scotland and points in between.
I know this is a late comment, but I found this video on my local area, and discovered many hidden things that I walk past everyday without realising. Rather interesting!
Please do a walk around James Allen's Girls' School and St-Martin-in-the-Fields High School for girls as well. They're both important old girls' schools that were founded in a time when there wasn't much care for girls' education.
i noticed that he walked by a "carnegie" library...i believe of the hundreds of libraries he built in usa and scotland he opened a few personally in london...quite a rare building
from today's video of yours i learned about the Spring song by Mendelssohn. I knew the song, i did not know about its history. I think what you see on 5:51 is a STINK PIPE made byJ.Stone & Co Engineers, Deptford. "Stink pipes such as this one at Broadwater Down are found above sewers and are there to vent gases from the sewers below. Most stink pipes date from the Victorian period." (source : conservation wiki, author's name Heidi Schwartz) Can you please tell us about the lace mat on the post office box at 8:36? thanks
Hello Joolz, have yourself a merry little Christmas, all the best for 2024. Our loved ones , those whom we keep on loving beyond earth life, will be with us deep in our hearts and souls ❤❤❤🎉
Another fine stroll Joolz. A lot of nostalgia for me and my wife because, as a long time cyclist, we visited the Herne Hill Velodrome on one of our last visits to London in June 2022. Got train from St Pancras to Herne Hill, then walked to the Velodrome to watch track meeting, then back again. It was all a bit rushed so your video has given us a much better appreciation of the area as a whole. Good to see the mural on the wall parapet in Burbage Road again too - a fine piece of art. I love to watch your videos with Google Earth open and follow your tracks via street signs etc. Thank You again for a great watch !!!

I think the yanks would LOVE it! Pip pip.
Luvs ya Joolz, let us know if you are coming to Montreal at some point, I'd love to guide you around our fantastic city 🍁
Love watching you from start to finish keep up the amazing work you are doing ❤
I think Chiswick is the westernmost you have come to film, isn't it?

Oh! Shame on me....My mother was Italian.... Well, that makes perfect sense.. Thanks!
to complete the meanings of casino in Italian it needs to say that in the past casino was the common word for brothel@@Joolzguides
I've always said this man is the quintessential English man and now it never feels like a Sunday unless my Family Roast is beginning its prep with Joolz on too. Peeling Carrots and Parsnips whilst learning about Herne Hill..lovely stuff
Absolutely xx
He’s Italian though
@vassabatielos4740 I was born in Cannes and lived for many years but am English..deal with it troll
Haaaaaa! Same! 😂
@@vassabatielos4740’Part!’ 😂
I used to live on Denmark Hill when I was young. We lived opposite Freddie Mills the boxer, played in Ruskin Park. This has brought back a lot of memories.
the quality to your videos is just so great! such a pleasure to watch ❤
11 likes and no replies, lemme fix that
I could live there quite happily. Very reminiscent of my beloved Hampstead. Unfortunate about the flood, but looks like they were able to keep the character of the place rather than use that as an excuse to tear it all down. Thanks again, Joolzy, for the lovely walk!
Herne hill and hampstead are miles apart
@@adonaiyah2196 I think they know that.
Not quite as pretty as Hampstead, but it shows that there are areas of South London that are just as nice as North London.
Yes, we have William Booth in Abney Cemetery. One of his generals is nearby with the marvellous phrase "Promoted to Glory" etched on his headstone. Heard you on the radio this morning, it was great. Sorry to hear about your mum.
What a blissful start to my Sunday 🙌 Thanks for putting in all the effort to entertain and educate us 🙏
The guy with the shop at the end is amazing -- impressive
Quite a nice surprise to see a road with the name Rosendale Road. Me myself live in the city of Roosendaal in the Netherlands, and the meaning is exactly the same (valley of roses). What a happy coincidence!
1:16 - GGS also designed Cambridge University Library, of which this is highly reminiscent!

I live in New Zealand and visited friends in London in July this year. I stayed in a house opposite the Carnegie Library. Spent a lot of time wandering around the Herne Hill area. Bought back memories and helped fill in the historic background.
A friend of mine who entered a cycle courier event at Herne Hill
Velodrome about 15 years ago and he came first in a race and
won a nice new track frameset, anyway he got it built up and
decided to start getting involved with training at Herne Hill and
I think it was on his second training race that he was involved in
a nasty crash and said he will never cycle on a velodrome ever
again. I must say he did look very battered and bruised and that
was about 2/3 weeks after the crash. I think he had a few bikes
with riders go over him and the kitchen sink.
Another excellent, informative video Sir. If that was a beret on Michael Crawords place, that's genius, we need to start a trend and get others put up, a mac for Peter Falk, a question mark umbrella for Sylvester McCoy, a lightsaber for Alec Guiness, the list is endless.....
A Joolz Jaunt and a Jago Hazzard video released at the same time!
Somebody pinch me! Christmas comes early.
Thanks for posting a new video joolz my mother recently passed away and she loved your videos, she went to London around 20 ago and she love it there I hope to go to London one day soon. Greetings from New York.
I really enjoy your strolls through London and was pleased to detect your London guidebook at Waterstones Piccadilly yesterday.
I got a train from Denmark Hill station. I’ve lived in the area for years ;)
grew up in west london, sheperdsbush you have taught me more in a couple of videos then i knew in all my early thirty years of living there. very informative and entertaining.
I listened to your conversation with Robert Elms this lunchtime, and was pleased to hear this latest adventure. There are many interesting parts of “Sarf” London, Wandsworth common being one of many. Look forward to the next instalment,thanks Joolz
Thanks for listening!
It's so cool to see my home town on here. Didn't expect Denmark Hill and ruskin park to be in this herne hill vid as I always thought it was in camberwell. Also it's alleyn's college not Alan.
they are part of Camberwell these days.

Aww I miss Herne Hill, 5 year I lived there. If I was ever to move back to London it'd be to that area.
The original library in my hometown was built with a grant by Carnegie as well.
I used to teach one of my Ladies Latin dance classes upstairs in the old Carnegie Library in Gravenhurst Ontario Canada!
I lived in the William Booth college for 2 years in the 70's, very tough training, not the happiest days of my life. We used to march down Denmark Hill every week with a band to hold meetings. That was in my former life lol

Was a good place to live.
Always love how Jules gets some content and fascinating facts out of a mostly grim area. And so nice the locals have such pride in where they live.
There is a Carnegie library in Southall too, but it closed years ago, but the building still stands. It has knowledge is power embossed in the floor, and Carnegie library on the appex of the roof. Thanks Joolz your content is great entertainment 👍
Used to drink in there when it first opened as the phoenix and Firkin
This UA-cam channel is my go-to every single time thank you
Welcome back mr jools been missing your amazing videos these last few weeks
It's a good day when you release a new video!
Another great walk Joolz !
I agree with someone else’s comment on here, that a new video combined with a roast dinner makes a nice Sunday afternoon 🚶♂️📽️🎬🍽️
What a beautiful area to live in, doesn't seem like it is in London,,as usual very informative and educational,,☘️☘️☘️☘️👍 from northern Ireland 😁
Wonderful as always. I agree with you that Herne Hill is charming.
Hello Joolz, thank you for another very enjoyable video. I have only been once to Herne Hill, but thought it nice. I live adjacent to Richmond Park and the parokeets can drive you crazy....but they are pretty birds. I lived in Ireland a while and they had Carnegie Library there as well. I am off to UK next week and will buy your book as a present to myself as I have learnt such a lot from you.
Too good for the BBC! Excellent viewing, thank you.
I used to live in Sunray Avenue just along from North Dulwich Station and seeing you in the Gardens (with the pond) reminds me of many happy days
The beauty about Herne Hill , is that you are on the doorstep of Dulwich Park/Village, Brixton is within walking distance and Clapham not much further.
Brockwell Park is one of my favourite parks in all of London and there is something particularly special about the park in the height of summer. It has this amazing welcoming atmosphere which i think is unique and reflects the nature of the area.

We lived in Brixton for seven years so Brockwell Park was also my playground. Being a small child at the time I didn't see much else of the area so it was great to see a different perspective.
Oh yes a new Joolz Guides video. ... its a great Sunday
Another great Joolz Guides. It made me want to live there, it looked so special
My body clock is attuned to the due dates of a new Joolz Guide! I was all anticipation and aquiver last night, thanks!! I believe there was a Velodrome in my area of Wood Green, off Bounds Green Road.. I'm sure I read that somewhere...
One of my favourite channels on UA-cam ❤
You provide all the necessary interesting facts in an engaging manner. Thanks and well done.
Hi Jules I do learn a lot by listening to your wonderful videos I also find myself looking at London a different way most people look down in London I look up!
Verging on Dulwich! Edward Alleyn was the one who founded the College of God's Gift which became Dulwich College (along with two other schools in the area). Definitely worth covering Dulwich itself, I recommend Brian Green's books on its history.
Jags and Alleyns, (im a local)
Always love your Walks this one in particular as this was part of my old stomping ground from 1963-1967 fun times held around there. Thanks Joolz😇
Just near the fox on the hill,was where Freddie Mills lived,The world champion boxer,also,in Camberwell grove,just near Denmark hill station,was where Terry jones lived & died,& Michael palin also lived on the grove,many famous people live there today.I would love you to walk around Camberwell one day,lots of history there.
Just had to watch this since I've been living in Camberwell since 2002.
That really is a very pretty area!
Wonderfully done as usual, Julian.
The little lake is in Sunray gardens
The SA training college looks eerily similar to Liverpool's Anglican cathedral.
Same architect...

So many beautiful buildings,all taken for granted,so pleased there are people like you who still are interested an care,when left UK in the sixties they had started pulling all the lovely houses down,my Aunt lived in a beautiful place called moat house,use to be hotel turned into flats,then of course it was pulled down,think it came under Denmark hill,

A lovely record of this attractive area.

Pip pip tally how Joolz Guides here
I might have to get one of those spiffing t-shirts. Thanks for another slice of London Life. Hello from California.
Your new sweater find 👍 totally rocked - it’s more Freddy Kruger than Dennis the Menace! It totally IS Frank Spencer’s beret hat - another brilliant fine and is super cool! Loved Michael Crawford in “”some mother’s do have em”-brings back memories of watching reruns with my mum -she loved him 🥰and never cared when my dad would roll his eyes every time the show came on lol😅 Congrats on your new website. Gonna check on it!
What jolly Fun!
Thanks joolz! 👍👍👍
I bought your book well in advance of a trip to England in October knowing that I'd be making my first foray into big scary London. Then I decided that even the small book would take up too much space in my carry-on stuffed for an eighteen-day trip so I bought the PDF and downloaded it. Then, in a final frenzy of packing and preparing I entirely failed to load the PDF onto my phone and/or laptop. Glad to say that I was sufficiently schooled by your vlogs and a skimming of the book to find quite a few of they places you've covered although a lot of that might have been by random chance since my wanderings in the city were entirely unscripted. With luck, come the Spring I'll be better prepared for another couple of weeks in London and Scotland and points in between.
Great video joolz niceto see a different area of London
I was looking foward to the next.....cheers from nj, usa
I know this is a late comment, but I found this video on my local area, and discovered many hidden things that I walk past everyday without realising. Rather interesting!
Please do a walk around James Allen's Girls' School and St-Martin-in-the-Fields High School for girls as well. They're both important old girls' schools that were founded in a time when there wasn't much care for girls' education.
14:08 there’s a little estate like that near HMP Wormwood Scrubs. Lovely and quiet, you’d think that you were in the countryside.
i noticed that he walked by a "carnegie" library...i believe of the hundreds of libraries he built in usa and scotland he opened a few personally in london...quite a rare building
Always love a Joolz guide. Looks lovely there.
As always, just relaxing and enjoying the sights of London with you.
Hello Julian how are u?. It is great to see u doing well. Thank u so much for sharing with us your wonderful experience there in beautiful Herne Hill.
Another great video, and another place to visit when my Wife and I next visit London.
from today's video of yours i learned about the Spring song by Mendelssohn. I knew the song, i did not know about its history. I think what you see on 5:51 is a STINK PIPE made byJ.Stone & Co Engineers, Deptford. "Stink pipes such as this one at Broadwater Down are found above sewers and are there to vent gases from the sewers below. Most stink pipes date from the Victorian period." (source : conservation wiki, author's name Heidi Schwartz) Can you please tell us about the lace mat on the post office box at 8:36? thanks
The decoration on top of the postbox ie either knitted or crocheted. They appear all over London. Made by local people.
I remember that flood in Herne Hill. I lived up the road on Dalberg Road. Lovely video, Joolz! Ta!
“This ain’t my ends bro!” made me laugh so hard! 😂😂😂
"its not my endz bruv" hahahahahah that was good, i love joolz's humour
Hello Joolz, have yourself a merry little Christmas, all the best for 2024. Our loved ones , those whom we keep on loving beyond earth life, will be with us deep in our hearts and souls ❤❤❤🎉
Always waiting for a Jools video, thanks
Another fine stroll Joolz. A lot of nostalgia for me and my wife because, as a long time cyclist, we visited the Herne Hill Velodrome on one of our last visits to London in June 2022. Got train from St Pancras to Herne Hill, then walked to the Velodrome to watch track meeting, then back again. It was all a bit rushed so your video has given us a much better appreciation of the area as a whole. Good to see the mural on the wall parapet in Burbage Road again too - a fine piece of art. I love to watch your videos with Google Earth open and follow your tracks via street signs etc. Thank You again for a great watch !!!
