Spiffing London Walks - Bermondsey, Maltby Street Market & Old Operating Theatre
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- In this most spiffing walk around Bermondsey Joolz goes to the Old Operating Theatre Museum and Herb Garret. A garret is a liveable space in an attic and this one was discovered above this church having been sealed up in the 19th century. You can attend a demonstration of how the operating theatre worked and see all the wonderful medical devices.
Nearby is Guy's Hospital with an alcove one belonging to the medieval London Bridge, containing a statue of John Keats.
The we go up to Bermondsey Street with all its cafes and the surrounding area with its old leather factories and tanneries.
If you are feeling hungry you can also go up the Maltby Street Market.
Music - The January Man by Dave Goulder, performed by Terry St. Clair

Thanks everyone....one of these days I'll be a star!!!!!!!
I miss the rain,
Stay safe, keep the Corona away!
Hope you don't catch a touch of the Mileys! Stay safe! (But, like, keep posting videos...?)
Hey there Joolzy, will do. By the way, John Keats was only 5 feet tall. :)
@Demon 1 ??
I’m obsessed 🤗🤗 I just can’t stop watching Joolz .. so much history… bloody love it ..
My beautiful Bermondsey. I'd give anything to go there again. Decades of the Dibley family a family that goes back to 1485 shared plenty of life together. My father and his brothers & sisters went to Arthur's Mission fo Sunday school. They all went to Snowsfields school. They all went to war and came home again. I went to school inTooley Street. The day we left we all threw our hats over London Bridge and into the Thames. I qualified as a registered nurse & worked at Guy's hospital, but I also did a paper round there when I was 14. My father's family lived in Ship & Mermaid Row.Thank you for this wonderful tour.
How can you not love London, or these videos? Superb.
I really love the way you bring about that soft nostalgic feeling of the old buildings. I vote Joolz the Best guide in London! 👍
You’ve brightened a dreary, rainy Sunday morning of isolation here in New Jersey, USA. Stay safe everyone, and binge watch Joolz. PPTH!
Samen for me in Berlin. Rainy and boring
You have rain!!!! Do you want to trade weather? You have no idea how old 70 & sunny can be every day,
I'm going to make Scotch eggs this morning and pretend I am in London today!!! 🌞⚽🤸👣👣👣👣
@@kellyplumb3561 seriously? I thought I was the only one who didn't like days and days of sun. or are you being facitious? lol
Hi yes I have been loving all of Julians videos I will have watched all by the time this is all finished. Blessings to all fellow heath workers from Australia
I have a special affinity to Bermondsey. My paternal great great great grandfather was a Waterman, as was his son after him. After that my great grandfather did an apprentice as a Waterman, but he followed another clerical profession. He married into a family who were Tanners in Bermondsey. I have walked around here, but great to have some more information on the area. My great great great grandfather was married and buried at St Mary Magdalen.
Walking? Those were the days.
Yea Totes Outside I kinda Remember??🤔😏😅👛😂
ThE DAIze My Friendz An !We thought for Play that Never Endz🤓..Daa...DunnDunn!.... 😳😜😷😴🤖🎶💃 ...👼💂@:)
How I would enjoy walking around.... anywhere ( without the plague). Tis hard to be in lockdown, here in Rome.... your video help.

Good luck joolzie
Medals to all of those who chose to keep the spirit of these wonderful buildings alive
Love your videos, Joolz! Please stay home and spend your time editing...don’t want you to lose your fans during the pandemic. We all love walking around London with you from our sofa. Until we get the chance to walk in London on our next trip across the pond!
Splendiferous! "I approve of saving the planet" funniest line of the day dude..
Hello over there. I'm watching this on my midnight shift as an EMS Dispatcher, just North of Pittsburgh. I'm stunned at how many people are out and about. Are your businesses and Pubs still open?? No bars allowed open to the public in the States. .. not sure what the drinkers are doing. Needless to say,. It's pretty dull on this side, unless you're brave enough to venture into Walmart. I am not!! Thank you for keeping me company during my, rather scary, shifts! I, very much, appreciate vicariously walking through London with you. Even with the rain, it looks amazing and it's's the only way I'm going to be traveling for quite some time. Your knowledge of the city is beyond brilliant and I am so grateful.
Stay safe 💓
PGS
Pittsburgh P.A. ??? The most swinging place in The U.S.A. ?? NOT!!!!!!!!!!
I find London to be a fascinating place.. such old buildings.. I live in Perth Australia so there's no such thing as 16th century buildings! Thank you for showing these
I'm fascinated by the layers and layers of history embodied in the various London neighborhoods and and boroughs. I imagine a historian could enjoy a considerable career delving into and writing about any square block of whatever part of London he chose.
I LOVE history and how London has so much preserved of it!
I've worked in bermondsey for 3 years. I've passed many of these streets. Never knew what these shops are until you explained it all.
Interesting you show a hanging image.
A company called John Edgington in Old Kent Road Bermondsey made hangman's ropes for the Home Office, also supplied an exported.
My father went there in he late 60s to buy ropes for his company truck and actually saw the hangman's ropes.
The man he spoke to said even though the last hanging took place on 13th August 1964 they still made them for other commonwealth countries
Some of the BEST content on YT.
Sights, Sounds, History
Please make more video's since we are all stuck at home, please! The world needs your light hearted wit and charisma more then ever.
I was afraid there would be no more Joolzguides for the time being, but here is another to brighten a horrible Sunday! Thanks, Jules!
Bloody brilliant Joolz and Co. Very enjoyable viewing. What a great way to learn about London, and your love of beer. Cheers to you and your folk!
You don't know what you've got until it's gone. Finding a pub and a couple of pints.
I'm okay, I'm stuck in a pub that doubles as a microbrewery. I'm as happy as a pig in sugar.
Will we ever have those days again?
A real pub that doesn't charge a mortgage for a pint. Now it's been gentry fide, and all us Bermondsey people have been priced out. All the social housing sold off thanks to Thatcher.
So true 👍
@@henryjohnfacey8213 Go Down the Blue ....
I've traveled from New Jersey to continental Europe several times, but never to the UK and London. After watching many of your videos in the past, I was determined to visit London with my family. Alas, now this is impossible.
Let's all hope that this global quarantine ends soon, and we can take part in a Joolz walk again!
Cheers, Julian! The moment you enter a pub is always my favorite one. It is something so cozy about it. Thank you for your channel.
The Horseshoe Inn does look so relaxing.
Thank you, Jules, for explaining that lyric about "Morocco bound" from the theme song of "The Road to Morocco".
I was born in Guys Hospital and grew up in Bermondsey, spending the first 20 years of my life there in the late 60’s through to the mid 80’s. Sadly the Bermondsey I knew is long gone and also the people. Shame you didn’t venture further into Bermondsey and ‘The Blue’ in Southwark Park Road where I lived. It used to be a great place to live, all the different smells from the Sarsons vinegar factory to the biscuit factory, Peek Freans. Great times back then. I had a pint in the Horseshoe last summer which is around the corner from Snowsfields where my Dad was born. He also worked in Tooley Street which is unrecognisable now to how it used to be.
I know if I don't finish watching one of your videos, go back to it and see you're sitting in a pub that the video is over. That's a proper finish to yet another superb video walk through Londinium.
It’s 6am on a Sunday and it’s time for another installment of Joolz Guides! Yes! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nice! Enjoy a GIN!! GOV🤗🇬🇧
Why Not now;]
Always Fab! 🎉
I am a 65 year old Londoner and you are welcome but even if you live here you will only see a fraction of London in one lifetime...:)
Love those 19th century warehouses and with the food market too, Bermondsey is now on the Bucket list, unless I kick it due to this hideous plague! Talking of plague, perhaps a topic for another London film?
Love how your mum has been asked out by all those famous men you mention in your walks!! :-)
Just what I needed, a shot of Joolzy to cheer me up in these crazy times! Oh, I miss London.
I was in this area just a couple of weeks ago. How life changes. I hope you are well and stay well, you are a London treasure and o hope that things return to normal soon.
thank you Julian. I'm so amazed with the history of London, the architecture and all the nooks and crannies. What a city! Stay safe please.
Hi Joolz, I was there over ten years ago and donated a glass syringe to exhibit utilised in the forties to perform ear syringing. Brilliant discovery of such an amazing place.
I am watching this at 6am on a sunday morning!
Thank you for the upload. I hope you and your family are well. This reminds me and may be other people how we miss the outside world. Also as you look at an old operating theater lots of love and respect goes out to all our N.H.S. Staff. Take care Joolz.
In years to come, when we're all still banished to our own homes, I'll show my Grandkids these videos to show them how we used to be able to roam the streets and be around other humans.
Great video, looking forward to the rest. I'd love to collaborate on something one day. Diolch!
Very interesting. lost but not forgotten the very generous and warm People of Bermondsey.
The Howlin Wolf playing in the background put a smile on my face. Somebody at that market has great taste
There are probably a few more blocked off rooms with lots of history, in London.
This was over far too quickly. What a shame Joolz didn't make an 'hour special' 😁😁😁
You'd need a full week, 168 hours constant watching and you still couldn't cover SE1. By London Bridge is Shad Thames, full of history but now mainly very very expensive apartments.
Brilliant as usual hope that Joolz will continue for many more years.
Thank God, a walking tour with COMMENTARY! So many mute junk walking videos about this area on UA-cam.
Don't thank God, thank Joolz ^^
Loved the “Road to Morocco lyrics!”
Cheers!
This is where I have lived all my life. You must do the Bermondsey mile! Just a big pub crawl through all the breweries. There is a lot of history if you follow the ‘Thames Path’ towards Rotherhithe, such as the Mayflower Pub. You can’t also visit Bermondsey without going to a pie ‘n’ mash shop!
I recently watched a film called 'The Limping Man' where they drank in The Mayflower in Rotherhithe.
*_HE WON'T BE DOIN" THAT FOR A FEW MONTHS TOM_*
Steve Blonde We must live and hope Steve
Yes! I'm a fellow Bermondsey dweller myself! Only six years here but would never want to live anywhere else!
Doug 1885 MILLLLL
I truly enjoy this video a lot. First off, you are so full of historic facts, which you throw out like baby's in the bath water. And of course, you usually find the most interesting places and subjects to film and talk about. English has more historic memories than good scene. I particularly love your visit to the old operating facilities. So well preserved and displayed. Keep up the groovy work. You're a lot of fun to watch.
I actually enjoy this series and this fellow reminds me a great deal of myself in some ways. For many years, I owned a Real Estate business in San Francisco. Whenever I had out of town clients arrive in The City to look for, or purchase, a property from my company, I would at some point take them on an impromptu tour of the city, while explaining some of it's history. We would take in tourist site as well as lesser known points of historical interest. All I can say is, keep up the good work, My Friend!
Hi Julian, hope you and your loved one's are well! Wonderful history walk, really enjoyed it! 😊Breath of fresh air with what's going on in the world right now. Good choice in music, as usual, I love Terry St. Clair's voice. 👍 Thank you...stay safe & take really good care!
ha! I went to the old operating theatre last summer. paid for the talk and everything. money bloody well spent. would recommend to anyone who has an interest in anything :D
Seconded.
My Great-Grandfather, George Watson Blackie, was born in Bermondsey and worked as a Leather Dresser. He was living in Rephidem Street at the time of the 1911 census.
Joolz, you’re the most fascinating travel guide. Thanks for this adventure! Stay well in this crisis!
Thanks Jools for your wonderfully shot,informative and entertaining videos which shall be missed due to the lockdown. Wishing you good health and a safe navigation through these uncertain times.
Oh I love your channel Joolz....great videos always..blessings and thank you.
Two of the London Bridge alcoves Joolz mentions in this video are in Victoria Park, East London. In the sixties my family lived in a prefab ( meant to be temporary accommodation) in the park just a two or three hundred metres from the alcoves. They are not far from the park entrance at Mark's Gate. Great tour. 👍😇
what a little masterpiece of a video xx
Thank you julian for these educational videos in this terrible time when we have a lot of time to look at our computerscreen. Greetings from the Netherlands to the ministry of Citywalks.
I love this film! And I love staying at home and washing my hands
OCD!!
Cheers Kai. Good time to build the app. Just need to sort out a few things
Stay safe , my friend. This area is just one mile South of Central and The City Of London and it's fascinating because alongside each other in the same street you will find old 17th Century Buildings intact , next to Ultra Modern new developments next to recent individual Coffee Shops next to a social housing block ( like @ 4' 38' on the other side of The Kings Arms Pub ). Typical of London all over in it's 46,000 streets other than the Suburbs where there is a great similarity of buildings. Just a little bit further on was MILLWALL Football Club in South Bermondsey :)
Joolz..can't thank you enough for the great and interesting video..nice diversion...
Nothing better on a Sunday afternoon than a Joolz Guides video
Education and entertainment done with the best of showmanship. Keep well Joolz.
I liked The January Man song! Also, Joolzy, your sister is a fine songwriter and composer, I like her music when you include it. :)
It annoys me that i discovered your channel about a week after i was in London for a week. I would have checked out ALOT of these places. So informative and the amount ofhistory that is hidden away is just mind-boggling
Hello Jools, from Greencastle Peesylvania USA. we are Wes and Nancy. Thanks for another great video as we love them all.
All the best NYC..! Keep going. I live in London and I think it's the greatest city on earth....but then again I haven't seen 'em all!! Joolz top man ...keep 'em coming
Another marvellous video Dear Jules... bravo 👏 Renzo Piano is one of Italy ‘s 🇮🇹 most famous architects from Genoa and a fellow pipe smoker. Super nice person. Do take care of your family and Mamma during this terrible pandemic. Ciao from lockdown Milano. S.
2020 Corona lockdown... The man of March he sees the Spring and wonders what the Year will bring... And hopes for better weather...
Take care & stay safe people !!!
We hope you and your family are safe and doing well, Joolz!
Another interesting, entertaining and uplifting episode ,love it👋
As alwyas - superb walk! Joolz, stay safe during this difficult time.
Stay healthy over there in jolly 'ol England. Cheers from America.
I grew up at the elephant during the 1960s. Outside our window was a tannery which we used to climb down into on the weekend's. I think we called it "drop down monkey". I never knew the area up to Southwark bridge road,Harper road, and gaol park was known for Tanner's.
Thank you for showing the bad side of the track's where the urchin's played.👍🌞
..'And John Thaw, who never looked young' That did make me laugh.
I live next to the market, I love SE1, I would never want to be anywhere else, we have the most incredible and scandalous history, enough to fill a library on its own
The food in Pizzaros on Bermondsey Street is out of this world
Thank you for covering Bermondsey St! I lived on it for a year, many moons ago! Great location that seems to constantly change :)
Thanks for continuing to post content. I thought your content was going to be obvious at first but it really shows a depth of knowledge. I lived in London for 20 years before moving to Asia and now I work with people who have a picture-postcard image of London in their minds. I always recommend your content as it brings London to life for people who can't get there :)
Hello from Antigua, 👍
Watching your videos makes me happy.
Absolutely Top Drawer , Old Fruit !
Bravo !
I love watching your tours, Joolz!! I say “I’ve been there!” Each time you walk through an area I’ve visited. 😊
My paternal grandmother was born (1899) and married (1919) in Bermondsey and lived there with her husband till they sailed to Australia in 1929.
Bermondsey was also known as the larder of London with so many food factoris. This was all so tear jerking but wonderful to see. Thank you so much.
This is my old stamping ground. St Saviours & St Olaves hospital sewed me up leaving glass in two of my fingers. Regular visitor to Guys too. I was raised down the Old Kent Road, went to school near where the flyover now is. Pie and mash shops in Tower Bridge Road, Joycies and Manzes. always got my custom. Very very good people in Bermondsey. Then it all went horribly wrong with immigration so we moved to Yorkshire.
My family lived in the Guinness building in Snowsfield after WW2, My Grandad worked in Weston St at BB Vos & Sons a leather merchant.
Thank you to all the people of Lindon and England for preserving your history and the nice buildings and other items. I hope to travel from the US to England and rest of UK for a visit, learn about your countries and more about my ancestors.
Sadly here in the US money means much more to companies and developers than historical landmarks.
London. I'm tired, just worked twelve hours and misspelled London.
@@guymorris6596 And mispelled mispelled too
Great Joolz, it is nice to remember what it was like to go outside and go to a pub. Stay safe.
Yes, I needed this, Joolz Guides on Sunday, life is better now.
thank you for keeping up your vids. They realy help me getting through these times.
Hey Joolz, I discovered my ancestors, the Bottwood & Smith families, were from this area of Old London taaarn. Grt.Dover St, Alice St, Gedling Place to name a few. So thanks for sharing the area & hopefully one day I'll get my bum down there for a walk round myself. Toodle pip old bean!!
Where are you located Kay ? :)
The music is haunting.
3.40: How ironic Joolz that you should turn a page headed up “Quarantine “ .
How is that ironic?
Locutus Yeah, maybe “prophetic” would have been a better word 🙂
Is that irony or coincidence?
Another wonderful video! Thank you so much 😍😍😍
Hello Joolz, just a quick mention about the Guinness Trust. I've lived in the Hammersmith Estate for over 20 years with my missus. She grew up on the one on Edith Grove on Chelsea. They are still a Housing Association but formerly a charity (Diana was the patron in the 80/90's. The rents like any Housing Association are cheaper than the ludicrously high private rents in London but generally more than Council rents. Our Estate was built in 1900 and the front block is Grade 2 listed building. Love your videos as a fellow tour guide. Hope you are well. Charlie.
Quarantine! in the magazine at 3.40 ..
Very prophetic during Covid-19 ..
Great vidz Joolz ..
Keep it up old boy ..
Tally ho ..!
Thank you for adding to my list of things to do once lockdown is lifted. I can see me going for lots of fun walks around London when it becomes safe to do so again
Wail working last Oct in London, I had walked thru many of the places you describe and had no idea of the history. Wish I had discovered your vlog earlier. Thank you.
More quarantine content Jules. PLEASE!!!!
I went to the Old Operating Theatre a good few years ago when it was open for free as part of the Open House weekend. I especially remember it because as I was walking to London Bridge I went past the Monument and I saw there were people at the top. I didn't know at the time that you could go up it, so I thought I would have a go.
Well I went up it no problem and coming down was even easier, the problem came as I carried on to visit the Old Operating Theatre. I walked on and then had to stop at a pelican crossing and my legs just seized up with cramp, I thought that I wasn't going to be able to carry on, luckily after a few minutes the cramp went and I was able to carry on after all.
I could watch your videos all day.
It's nice to have a cheerful video in these miserable times!
