Awesome as usual Joolz, did you know that the former Island records founded by Chris Blackwell, who signed Bob Marley ) is in Chiswick. and so is, Metropolis studios.
Shame on you, Joolz, for not crediting Noel Coward with London Pride. It is my favorite of his songs, written as a love letter to a city that was being destroyed.
@@danmahalo not wanting to be a pedant but St.Peter's Square which you quite rightly say used to be home is in Hammersmith not Chiswick....right on the border to be fair to you. I' m only this territorial becauses I am from Hammersmith 👍😂
It beggars belief Joolz Guides has not been snapped up by mainstream TV. Informative, educational, funny, and always a pleasure to watch. Great presentation and excellent videography by his trusty cameraman/quip ✌️
Strolling the lanes of London with Joolz and Simon, having a pint or two at some ancient pub, going to the cockney sing-a-long, these things are on my bucket list. Absolutely love these videos. Please don't kill off Joolz guides. Please.
Joe Smallberries ... whoever suggested killing off Joolz Guides, and why would anyone, they are lovely? I came across Joolz Guides a while ago now and have watched all of his videos I think, and I love them and look forward to the new one's every month. They are the best London guide videos I've seen. Long may he reign.
@@smallberries ... On this occasion I must apologise for breaking my own rule of never commenting before finishing a video. I have watched all of his videos, but on this one, I was so curious as to who/why Joolz would stop making his videos, I now know what happened, so I consider my arse well and truly slapped .......... Pal.
Decades ago my wife and I were in London and wanted to go to the Chiswick house and gardens. Being from the USA we were asking what bus/train would take us there and we were pronouncing it Chess-wick. Well, it wasn't until we had asked about six people that we learn it is pronounced Chis-ick. 🤓
That was absolutely magic....would love a walk along the river stopping off at the pubs in the summertime......reckon it would be a challenge. You are made for the BBC and thanks for all your videos.
@@Joolzguides its their loss.....Trust me if programmes like that were on Aunty they would be a ratings winner. 😀 Anyway.....your loyal jules army will always be watching 👀
A friend of mine worked at the Hammersmith Odeon in the '70s. I got to see a lot of acts for free and one of the standouts for me was Blondie. Happy days. Fab video as ever Joolz.
When I first heard the story behing Noel Coward writing London Pride it choked me up. It still does and it is a lovely theme to a supurb walk. thanks Joolz.
Great to see you back Julian & Simon. I really look forward to your guides. I hope both your families are well. Thank you both for another fantastic guide.
Used to live in Chiswick 20 odd years ago, the walk by the river was my Sunday afternoon. I’ll have to do it again someday, when I’m not 4000 miles away.
This brought back some amazing memories for me. I was born just off of Fulham Palace Road and all of the area you’ve shown, was my childhood / teen stamping ground. My father was one of the surveyors responsible for the renovation of Butterwick, which is the area in the centre of Hammersmith roundabout. Hammersmith Odeon is where I used to go to Saturday morning pictures, and years later, I saw the commodores with Lionel Richie live on stage at the same place. I used to drink in The Rutland which is next door to The Blue Anchor, and run by a wonderful couple, Mike and Thea. Fun fact about the Rutland…Elkie Brooks used to own property very close by and would often be seen at the bar of The Rutland. Nice lady. Anyway, thank you for the tour of my childhood home. Such happy times.

Perfect timing as tomorrow, for the first time,I will be taking the 3 Hour return Thames Boat Trip from Westminster Pier to Kew Bridge:) With free transport on all the rest of my journey then my only travel expense is the Concessionary amount of £19 (usually £26 ) and, weather permitting,I am looking forward to it. I have done Greenwich-Westminster many times but never gone West on the river from Central London and it should be really lovely and picturesque:
I used to live near Chiswick and Hammersmith in Shepherds Bush, this was all walking distance from me. I did this walk many times, it was so lovely to see all the familiar spots and learn about the history. I watched Sandman on Netflix recently and noticed they filmed along the river between Furnival Gardens and Hammersmith Bridge. The scene where Dream and Death go visit the old man is in one of the apartment blocks overlooking the river. I really miss this part of West London, I was very fond of it. ❤️
Joolz, I was the fellow who accosted you the other day at St. Pauls Catherdral. What a trip that in a city of 9 million people I should stumble across you. I was visiting from Canada and your videos were a great help. I'm a subscriber for sure.
I knew you had something Italian, now you have confirmed me. always very informative, interesting and always very funny videos. I'm always waiting for your video 😁 Sei un grande Julian 🇮🇹♥️🇬🇧
At about 8 mins. in there's a pump for HSB. This was a recipe from Gales Brewery in Horndean which was absorbed by Fullers a few years ago. Local enthusiasts for it used to say "HSB paralyses parts other beers only reach".
What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon, than watching another fine video. Great to see some of West London for a change. Love the old buildings in the area, and I'd dread to think of their prices. I imagine a pub crawl along the river, to be a lovely thing to do on a warm sunny day.

6:20 As always if its beer there is a Burton upon Trent connection. So proud that London's pride was brewed using Burton kit . Morton's now part of Briggs so still going. And yes I do like Marmite.
"Joolz Guide," is something that I always look forward to. For me, it's like Christmas eve and all the excitement. "Thank you, Jools and, I notice, Simon is more vociferous. Lovely, lovely videos. I raise a glass to the next one. "Good health." (Both)
My father was a Hammersmith man. Grew up opposite the Godolphin and Latymer School for girls. The whole family used to watch the annual boat race from Hammersmith bridge. Gustav Holst was the music teacher at my dad's local school. Brilliant video as always - particularly enjoyed the extensive look around the superb Italian restaurant.
The Verve's "Lucky Man" video was shot in one of the glass buildings at 27:00 and you can see The Harrods Furniture Depository and Hammersmith Bridge in the background.
I lived in Chiswick just after the War. Nan was a Hammersmith girl and often used to take me and my brother for a walk along the river to Hammersmith Bridge and back. I remember going through the cemetery and past a ship's figurehead that was hanging from a building at the entrance to the riverside path. Then past the Eyot. That was before the flyover was built. A lot has changed since then.
24:49 : Most important by far Joolz!....Minder, which just happens to be the greatest TV show of all time for the uninitiated....closely followed by Only Fools and Horses, Flowery Twats and M.A.S.H. - Peace to both George Cole and Dennis Waterman.
Joolz, The Rick Mayall bench would look a bit strange now, but back in the day it was situated opposite the Clarendon Hotel - a great live venue with a ballroom for the bigger bands and the 'Club Foot' basement bar for up and coming talent / psychobilly nights. I used to play from time to time in my 80s band, Five O Clock High. It was a wonderful place and in the opening sequence for Bottom you could witness the area's 're-modelling' into the eyesore it is now.
I used to live in Brandenburgh House, across from Charing Cross Hospital on Fulham-Palace Road. Some very happy memories of running along the river bank.
Great tour. You mentioned Goodfellas, did you know that about a week ago Ray Liotta passed away at 67. Boy he played that part like he was made for it. Always great watching your videos.Thanks and be well.
Brilliant! I lived on Mall Rd from 6 years old when it wasn’t anywhere near that posh! Once again you uncovered things about that area that I was completely unaware of. I don’t live in London now but you stirred up some good memories of nights in some of those pubs!
Strand on the Green. Chiswick. So beautiful and so much to see and do. Just watch out for the high tide of the River Thames. It floods The Strand at a very high tide. Great pubs and food. 🎉🎉🎉 😂😂😂
I enjoyed going down memory lane, I was a pupil at Latymer prep school during 1952 (70 years ago!) Sir Compton McKenzie's house was close to The Doves, I also remember when Bill Haley's "Rock around the clock" was shown at the Odeon, his fans threw the cinemas chairs out on the pavement to make room to dance!
We literally just did this walk last week when we were in London. It was one of our last days, and just wanted to wander around and enjoy the sights. Great riverside walk.
This is so enjoyable, indeed.. Packed full of interesting details from start to finish. The Fuller's brewery tour stands out as a real bonus, and the details of 'Minder' photos being taken at Hammersmith, as well as so many other items, are of really great interest. Many thanks, Joolz.
This is wonderful, used to live near Fullers brewery, loved the smell of mashing in the morning. Fun fact - on the little beach opposite the Chiswick Eyot the Grateful dead were frolicking about on their famous European tour - it's actually in that documentary of theirs (I was low key expecting Joolz to mention it 😀)
Joules, we love your videos and this one was superb. Classic Joules+! Pls do not stop and pls keep your personality and stage ‘vaudeville- ish’ presentation. Also we love your musical background!
This video has been the most endearing to me as I have some history attached to this being an Ealing girl, parents took me to a lot of places of interest. For nearly 6 decades I have been past the Fullers Brewery many times in a car for numerous reasons, I never realised the brewery had tours! I wonder if anyone remembers the Fullers Passport. Thanks again for another fab interesting video Joolz ☺️
Hey Joolz. You mention the Blue Anchor in Hammersmith, with Minder. I knew about that (but didn't know about Sliding Doors - I will look that up). The pub next door - The Rutland Arms - some of "Bohemian Rhapsody" was shot there. And there's a scene with Daniel Craig as 007 and Ralph Fiennes as M from "No Time to Die" filmed there too. Cheers from Downunder.
I have attended the Hammersmith Odeon (or Apollo) to see, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie and his Orchestra, Little Richard, The Everly Brothers, Fats Domino, The Rolling Stones, Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Booker T & the MGs, Aretha Franklin, Genesis, Brand X, Billy Cobham/George Duke Band, Pat Metheny Group, Tangerine Dream. Also had a long chat outside with Phil Collins, before the Billy Cobham gig. Also did the Fuller's Brewery tour.
Back in the day, the 'Latymer Prep School' building also housed some main school six form rooms. The third floor projecting window offered the best view in town of the Boat Race. All the way round the Hammersmith bend from Harrods Depository up to Chiswick Eyot. Other Old Latymerians included Alan Richman, Mel Smith, Hugh Grant, Heston Blumenthal, Dan Luger. As well as a few notorious politicos, Allegra Stratten (yes, that one!), Larry Whitty, Keith Vaz, Peter Walker.
Brilliant! Another wonderful stroll with Joolz Guides and our most excellent videographer Simon! The entire Joolz Guides team rocks!! We love you all and thanks again for another wonderful vid! Cheers!! 🥃
😲 You made my heart stop for a second there! I’m not ready to lose Jools Guides! I would imagine that someday it will end. You will either find something else you want to do, or get too old to hoof through the streets of London! But I hope it’s not too soon! ♥️
In the early 2000s when i lived in the UK i did some work on (and inside) Hammersmith bridge. We actually worked inside small rooms in the main columns installing and maintaining CCTV equipment. Was good to see the sights again.
Some unwanted information: WB Yeats composed poetry down the Chiswick Eyot (his permanent residence was close by in Bedford Park). The Chiswick Mall features in the opening pages of Vanity Fair, which perhaps says something about its residents at the time. Thanks for another great vid Joolz!

I saw so many acts in the Odeon: Suzanne Vega, Big Country, OMD, Tangerine Dream, etc.
My mother somehow got me tickets in the 70’s. Saw Slade, Peter Gabriel, Fats Domino, Tom Robinson and a few others!
In the 80's it was Thomson Twins, Depeche Mode and Prefab Sprout for me. Maybe a few others that I can't recall. Great old barn!

Indeed, good show.
West London still looking good. Some top pubs down that way.
You really should do more vids about the Thames. One of the most fascinating rivers in the world. Fascinating historical programmes to be made.
Love how London Pride is playing as you arrive at Fullers!

I look forward to all YOUR videos!!!!! Don't stop!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
Hi Joolz. I used to go to Chiswick a lot. And I lived in Hammersmith. from UK 🇬🇧👍👍 an old cockney gal
Brilliant ... extraordinary to see...
Fabulous! We've lived in Chiswick for over 30 years now, best place in London!
Excellent video, you missed Ian Durys flat by Hammersmith Bridge, loved hearing you sing a little Wat Tyler at the brewery.
Marvelous,thanks Jules
The man in the brewery is excellent
As always, I enjoyed the video. England is one of the country’s that is not afraid of its history.
Made my night, (Australia)
This is wonderful, used to live near Fullers brewery, loved the smell of mashing in the morning.
Fun fact - on the little beach opposite the Chiswick Eyot the Grateful dead were frolicking about on their famous European tour - it's actually in that documentary of theirs (I was low key expecting Joolz to mention it 😀)
I was working in Queens Wharf, in Riverside Studios, and saw you passing by the river path filming the episode.
Very informative, really enjoyed.
Great video Joolz! I caught the Great Escape/Steve McQueen reference whilst you were sampling the beer, “Wow!”
Marvellous!
What a lovely area and great tour.
I'm glad you cleared that up Joolzy! 🧐😁🥰👍💗🙏
enjoyed seeing my old haunts, you should do more west london, maybe shepherdsbush to acton
Please please please Joolz, come to Richmond and Kew!
One of my favourite walks along with Chelsea embankment/ Battersea area
Wonderful episode! Will watch it again!! 💗

Excellent, History, Pubs, Pubs and more History.....if only my Schooling was the same..
Hey Joolz. You mention the Blue Anchor in Hammersmith, with Minder. I knew about that (but didn't know about Sliding Doors - I will look that up). The pub next door - The Rutland Arms - some of "Bohemian Rhapsody" was shot there. And there's a scene with Daniel Craig as 007 and Ralph Fiennes as M from "No Time to Die" filmed there too.

A very relaxing walk around Joolz.
I have attended the Hammersmith Odeon (or Apollo) to see, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie and his Orchestra, Little Richard, The Everly Brothers, Fats Domino, The Rolling Stones, Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Booker T & the MGs, Aretha Franklin, Genesis, Brand X, Billy Cobham/George Duke Band, Pat Metheny Group, Tangerine Dream. Also had a long chat outside with Phil Collins, before the Billy Cobham gig. Also did the Fuller's Brewery tour.
Joolz, thank you once again and greetings from Leipzig.
Was visiting UK back in 2018 and did walk over the Hammersmith bridge but wish I had more appreciation of the history I would have explored further.
Back in the day, the 'Latymer Prep School' building also housed some main school six form rooms. The third floor projecting window offered the best view in town of the Boat Race. All the way round the Hammersmith bend from Harrods Depository up to Chiswick Eyot.
Other Old Latymerians included Alan Richman, Mel Smith, Hugh Grant, Heston Blumenthal, Dan Luger. As well as a few notorious politicos, Allegra Stratten (yes, that one!), Larry Whitty, Keith Vaz, Peter Walker.
Joolz, you and Simon are brilliant!
Thank you for your amazing videos of London
Brilliant! Another wonderful stroll with Joolz Guides and our most excellent videographer Simon! The entire Joolz Guides team rocks!! We love you all and thanks again for another wonderful vid! Cheers!! 🥃
😲 You made my heart stop for a second there! I’m not ready to lose Jools Guides!
I would imagine that someday it will end. You will either find something else you want to do, or get too old to hoof through the streets of London! But I hope it’s not too soon! ♥️
Joolz Guides lives!!!
@@Joolzguides pheww what a relief...to infinity and beyond with Joolz Guides
In the early 2000s when i lived in the UK i did some work on (and inside) Hammersmith bridge. We actually worked inside small rooms in the main columns installing and maintaining CCTV equipment. Was good to see the sights again.
Chiswick is the best area ever
Some unwanted information: WB Yeats composed poetry down the Chiswick Eyot (his permanent residence was close by in Bedford Park). The Chiswick Mall features in the opening pages of Vanity Fair, which perhaps says something about its residents at the time. Thanks for another great vid Joolz!
Poor Caroline of Brunswick. Thanks for the tour, Jules!!!!
