10 Hyde Park Place
One of the smallest houses in London.
Just over 3 feet wide.
Alleyway behind the door led to the church so grave robbers used it as a passageway to escape.
Now part of Tyburn Convent.
Marble Arch used to form the gateway to Buckingham Palace but didn’t look right after they enlarged the palace. John Nash designed it.
Only members of royal troop can drive through.
They moved it here in time for the great exhibition in 1850 and it formed a grand entrance which everyone passed through.
1908 and then in 1960s the roads were built isolating it from the park.
Three women are England Ireland and Scotland.
Marble Arch isn’t a police station but sometimes used as an outpost during demonstrations. Mixed up with Wellington Arch which was a police Station.
Speakers Corner
People had met here to talk and interact for centuries but the reform bill in 1872 designated this area for public speaking.
1999 Lord Justice Sedley said freedom of speech can’t be limited to things which don’t cause offence.
As long as it doesn’t provoke violence.
Karl Marx, Lenin, George Orwell all came here.
Tyburn Gallows
First recorded hanging was 1196
Tyburn river passed under here and down to Pimlico from Hampstead.
Triangular gallows meant 24 people could hang at once.
20 000 people came to se Jack Shepard highwayman hanged.
1664 Pepys describes seeing a man he knew hang and 14000 people here.
Condemned would make speeches criticising the church or monarchy. This led to speakers corner.

Joolz Guides - London History Walks - Travel Films love, live your films
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."
BS
the older gentleman at 8:30 have to love him! "yes been coming here for years." he seems so calm with the near riot going on behind him!
Yes, he said he would help me do a Jack The Ripper film. He is a guide too and admitted watching my films!
This vid was a riot. Literally.
Yes, I was genuinely worried for a moment there!
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.
Hi Jen, yes I remember you. It made me look very good that you recognised me!!
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.
What could be more enjoying than seeing your video flashed as I opened UA-cam...
I enjoy your videos so much. Thanks
Another quality guide,thank you
Good one Joolzy ! People power !!!
This is awesome love this episode
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.
Well I must say I didn't know that.
I think you are absolutely brilliant. I love your videos.
Another quality production Julian. You are brilliant.
That's very kind!
Joolzy, I love your channel and glad to be a subscriber--will tell all my friends here in North Carolina, US...and loved the Picarin Doc
Oh thanks! That's great to hear!! As it happens I'm going to Carolina in my mind.
Thank you for what you do! I have always wanted to go to England but I guess I never will, but watching you on UA-cam is like being there!
Thank you again!! One day I hope to do one of your tour's!
My favorite UA-cam channel!!!......definitely going for a walk to speakers corner looks a bit mad!!
It's not always like that! Sunday's the day to go. It shouldn't be as crazy as that though.
Speakers corner stresses me out. A good place to aquire high blood pressure!
Too right
Brilliant again Jools.
Thanks. A bit hectic and freezing again but I'm glad i did ok in the end.
Great stuff Jules, see you in the summer.
Jolly good. I'll be here!
I like these vlogs... Please keep it up. A very Merry Xmas
Highly enjoyable as usual!
Cheers Chris. It was eventful.
Hey there’s not that many I’ve seen as good a guide as you! Finally not a grumpy tour guide lol. Not too bad going on the subs. It’s become an addiction of mine to watch your vlogs!!
Thanks! But you haven't seen how grumpy I am in real life! I edit out all of my complaining!!
👍 for the pints of Landlord and Tribute at the end. 🍻
Another fine JG episode! 😊👍
Amazing, great job 👍
Cheers Ralph!
Another great video! Wish I can go to London soon!
Hopefully it will still be here when you come! It's always changing but that's part of its charm.
I thought this was a great video! Seeing all the people and the real situations and thoughts being expressed (even if things got a bit hairy) helps give a fuller impression of the people of London. It's great to see places, but people are also a huge part of a city.
Loving that horse's head sculpture just before you ducked into the bar.
Yes, I'm not sure about that. It was so cold I didn't hang around to check it out!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Still_Water_(sculpture)
i knew you would promote your channel on speakers corner :), great video again
I didn't know what else to say! I wonder if it worked.
Very nice video. It was nice to see a young fan approach you
Yes, he was very nice and even wrote to me too.
There were even a couple of older ones too!
OMG love your vids
Enjoy your vids Joolzes
the songs you play interespersed i really like... can you share those with us?
Simon
Best video so far
A fun romp through Speakers Corner ! Why, there's our 'excommunicated' friend Tan, and a few other friendly faces, including dear Hatun, Godwin, Lizzie and Daniel!
A lovely wee tour,
CHEERS 👍
There were certainly some interesting characters there!!!!
Got a little Hairy there, Joolzie! Glad to see you made it out unscathed...Loved the vid as always, Cheers!
Yes, I'm a big coward really. I was the first to run!
Just sent my info to you about a walking tour in June!! I would love to see the hidden gems of London!! I hope to hear back from you!)
Cheers Tim. See you in June!
When I lived in London in the 60s, the highlight at English Corner was Lord Soper. He would not back down from any challenger.
love you Jules
I lived in Marble Arch 2010- 2011. It was fantastic.
Another great guide Jools! 👍
It can get very 'heated up' in speakers corner! 😠😬😡
I always thought Marble Arch seemed like it was in a peculiar spot, now I know why! Thanks Joolz!
Yes, I had been meaning to find out myself for some time.
Thanks a lot,for how ti descrive london
Watching in Dec 2020! lol
Merry Christmas to all!
really really good video!
Thank you Sir. I didn't see you there though! Where woz yer?
I was not there that day
Tyburn convent,very interesting.I visited in 1990!
my favourite channel
Thanks. That's very kind.
Great video. Lots of giggles :)
and a couple of worrying moments! But generally an interesting day.
A really cool video
Thank you
Cheers!
This was one of the most fun videos to watch x3
Yes...a bit of a knee knocker to make!!
Fun London Guides - Julian McDonnell Films I bet ! Cant wait to visit this great city myself and try to remeber all the facts and infos off of your videos :P
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.
I'd love it if Joolz guides sister was in and on more videos . Both in front of and behind the camera !!!
You added graphics greatly enhance your pructions. Please consider also including a London map indicating where you are. I have been fortunate enough to have visited London twice so I know it ... but not well. A map would really help my mind's eye. Thank you. "Pip! Pip! Tally-ho! " Is that Right? Cheers, mate, from Canada!
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.
That was fun!! Gosh and not one gun was pulled in Hyde Park!! That would not happen here in USA! Good stuff mate!
I think in a game of rugby they'd say "there was a bit of handbags"..
You must live in Chiraq.
Joolzy went to London in 1983 with my parents stayed in the Mount Royal Hotel off Marble Arch my Dad took me to speakers corner I have alot to say now in 2021!!!!!😇🙏🔊🎊🎉
The modern “road” around the south side of Marble Arch was built in the early 1960s when Park Lane was dualled.
Very entertaining
3:50 The three trees stand on the location of the three legs of the gallows.
WONDERFUL JOOLZ💂♀️💐🍺💐💂♂️
👃🤷♀️
Thank you!!!!
Nice coat, Julian!
I love speakers corner spoken their many times
Update the batteries, nine elms walk, so much going on, and great river bus trip too
I was in speakers corner today! How appropriate
I hope it was a bit calmer than when I went!
Very passable impression of Dr Jones ;)
When it comes to hanging, do you prefer the short drop or the long drop?
Brighton soon Joolz?
I wanted to know what the commotion was all about lol
The cop shop in the arch was at the other end of Park Lane, in the Wellinton Arch.
Was that a pint of Landlord at the end?
Does the Marble Arch house an accessible space within its structure? I only ask because I too heard that it was utilised as some form of Police Station
The mad ramblings of a lunatic 😂 love the vids!
That's a pretty good description of my films I reckon!
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.
What was it like then?
@@Joolzguides I used to go most Sundays to Hyde park and back then there were loads of different subjects (although mostly political) there was one guy in particular who used to talk about how London would become so expensive that people would not afford to live there and most Londoners would be forced to move out. Seems what he was talking about is coming true.
yes, some of the people there do talk sense.
Hello julian i want to know about Scotland Yard location, please can you make avideo about it ?
Hi Luis, I do pass by there in my Harry Potter video but I don't mention it much.
Accept my condolences for having to hear Hatun's voice. They actually call her "high tune".
loooooool
Uriah Heep did a concert in Hyde Park.
Really want to visit speakers corner, and maybe even spout off about something or other!
Yes, do! You can talk about whatever you like. There isn't usually any trouble.
I just LOVE your name ... is it for red or ? I lived in a nunnery or rather with the evil penguins over there when I was very young...live in USA now and never had chance to go back. Thank you so much for bringing London to me. Peace, Love, Happiness...
We need one Speakers Corner in every country.
Probably one in Myanmar first, right now.
A great page. Just love London anyway, your informative guide just adds that little extra bit of human intervention . Please keep this going.
Richard.......... Cape Town, South Africa.
I haven't followed you for very long, but you really are a brave man Mr McDonnell. I really liked your "Pitcairn Jpurney'. Thanks to you and your sister . . . I know,.I know, send money 🙄👍🏻🙏🏻💓
I am a latecomer to this site. Wish I knew what the Pitcairn Journey is about. I have been to Norfolk Island twice which is where some descendants of the mutiny were relocated.
Like that very good be herd we’re u are Jools with speech are best of London
Cheers
i luv jools guide . com
Great topic on Tinder, 👍👍👍👍
You do a good Sean Connery
At 8:10 is that the guy from your Jack The Ripper walk? 🎩🧐
Hi Dear Joolz, your vídeos are great! Have you seen what they are doing in Paris? I’m sure it would be wonderful having you in a real online London Tour! They are charging around 8€ p.P.
6:55 love the Life of Brian...
You remind me of a modern day mary poppins character 😁🐦🌂🎑
That's wonderful to hear. Burt I hope.
Hatun! Mighty warrior
I think you are the best guide I have ever toured with, that you are as cute as a button, charming as a little red wagon full ahh puppies sittin in da sunshine, and hope I see you walking round London in June and if I do I will be waving, Hello Jules. What ah ya AT?
Yes, do say hello!!!
Hatun Tash, Lioness of CHristianity is still going stron after countless attacks! I only clicked on the video because she was in the thumbnail
I love my Londistan ....
For a moment, I thought you were going to say John Betjeman was taught by the same teacher that you had!! (oh my gosh, speakers corner is scary)
Ha Ha Ha you should have taken something to stand on Jules, This one is a classic as is Speakers Corner though like the guy in your film I have not visited the place since the late 60s .
But I'm 6'6" without a box!
The pub at the end - which one was it?
I think it was The Portman on Seymour Street
@@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.
Brilliant 😂
Thanks! It got a bit scary for a moment!
