Thanks everyone....one of these days I'll be a star!!!!!!!
You're a natural Joolz. Well done and bravo. Paypal sending you a virtual pint.
It's almost that time, Julian. 5 more weeks. I'm scared!
Me too Roger.
I might do, Angela. just need to think about it. I've had a tough few weeks and need a bit of a rest.
I loved the Eddie Murphy quote from Trading Places 😂
How does this guy not have a gig with the BBC??
Good point!!!! I think I'm too old and not mainstream enough. Perhaps they don't feel I have the "talent"!
No, it's because you're a white male...if you were a black Muslim transgender man it would be another story.
Jeff Lux Because he is a white male
More than enough MOJO mate, keep doing your thing! Didn't TFL give you some love for your Oyster vid?@@Joolzguides
Because nobody watches BBC anymore do they?
Such incredible high quality, charming stories, packed with information. I love these videos.
The church built during Edward I makes it older than St. Peter's Basilica...Wow!! I really wish this guy was giving our tour when I was in London.
I think you should do several more videos about churches in London.
Maybe do a series with each video being about a certain geographical area or churches from a certain time period like the 1700’s and another of “churches of the 1600’s”
and so on. Just a thought lol
Cheers mate
as a church lover,i have visted two of the churches,but i now have a few more to add to my list,i shall enjoy exploring more of london
My Beloved, I don't know you in person but God knows you. God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw an ansestra power in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with a mornitoring spirit and with a motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now the time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation across Africa ( branch) as the Lord (RHEMA ORPHANAGE HOME) in Nigeria, Port Harcourt, before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family. Ask for their acct details and help them call or contact the MD in charge of the orphanage to get their details on (WhatsApp)+2347049207696)Or (rhemaorphanageh847@gmail.com) tell him I sent you. For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you

Sounds like a scam...

What is the name of your church do you have a church page on facebook
Hello Julian. I just wanted to say i'm loving your content. I'm binge watching your videos and finding so many places of interest I want to check out. I used to live in London, but left with my mum & dad years ago, before I developed an interest in the history. Now I want to devour it all! If I make it over in a couple of years i'd like to take a tour with you, looks like it'd be a laugh. At some point (when I have any money, lol) i'll at least get a t-shirt or become a patron or something. It's nice these days in how one can support independent artists/content makers. Keep up the good work.
Notable ones to my mind:
St Brides - The Journalist’s Church just off Fleet Street and has a “Wedding Cake” steeple
St Giles of Cripplegate- Damaged by German Bombs and repaired. Now part of Barbican.
St Mary Le Bow in Cheapside- Damaged by German bombs then repaired. It’s powerful bell was London’s Curfew bell and if you were born within its sounding range then you were a Cockney.
Once again,Much THANKS Julian for another brilliant video full of great info!!
Oh what a sunny day it is Jules! 🌞
You always cheer me up! 😁
I stayed opposite St Bart’s Hospital last month. The real reason I chose that location was its proximity to a concert venue so I was pleasantly surprised to have so much history nearby. Wish I had spent longer and actually gone into the churches like you have shown here. Oh well, I’ll just have to come back! 🙂
It's an amazing area!!
Fantastic video mate, love your work, steadily watching them all - Great viewing - Thanks
What a wealth of knowledge you have, only just discovered your vids and can't stop watching. Keep up the great work.
I am so happy to learn that I am not the first to become addicted to your videos. I find myself watching the same ones again and again. You've got the charisma for this, Joolz.
And your lovely sister is adorable. Her cameo appearances and her songs add tremendously to this magical franchise.
Loved this upload! I used to work on Leadenhall St and a colleague did a live piano performance at St Andrews Undershaft, was wonderful!
Extraordinary architecture! I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.
Fantastic as always. ...well done Joolz 👏👏👍👍
Great video as usual. Keep up the great work. Love it.
I drive a truck in London most days. Makes my day far more interesting London’s history fascinates me. Cheers Jules!
Good to see you back!
All your videos are fantastic! Keep up the great work! When my daughter and I travel to London we will be sure to look you up as our guide.
Thanks Joolz..another fascinating watch..cheers from Ireland!
I always enjoy your videos and I intend to see this magnificent church when i escape from Atlanta!!! Thanks!
Love your films as ever! I lived in London for nearly 20 yrs and now only learning about the history of this great City thanks to your channel. For years I rushed past historic buildings on the way to work. I wish I'd taken more time to get to know the history when I was there - as I find it fascinating.
That is a very fine compliment. thanks!
@@Joolzguides you are welcome :)
My niece while in key west asked at Hemingway’s house if he was related to Muriel. Learn your history folks.
"On The Wagon"... That's great, never knew that
I think it's true... I'm sticking to it.
It’s definitely true. I discovered that fact while doing research for a paper I was writing in college.
I love learning odd bits of history especially when it shines light upon something we either take for granted or it’s in such common usage that we don’t question its origins. Have you ever wondered who Murphy is in the phrase “Murphy’s Law”? Things like that drive me mad until I have the answer lol
Cheers mates
This video was excellent. and fun! I am coming to England in June with a friend hoping to spend a couple days here in London. Looks like a lot of fun.
Another great video...thank you!
Keep it up! Your videos are amazing.
It's really really good
My 3 week visit in London was sensory overload!! So much history , I need a full year to poke around. Thank you Joolz for the Videos.
I enjoy all the videos, each second...
Enjoyed it. thank you.
"Hat's off"(!) to you Joolz for this excellent adventure. The St. Bart's visit was delectably mysterious.
I just became a new patreon subscriber thank you Joolz, I’ve binge watched almost all your shows and documentaries. Love what you do and hope to return to London for one of your tours. I truly enjoy your longer running features! Thank you! 😄🍻🧐
I love u
Catiina
Wonderful walk Joolz. Loved it. Keep them coming. You brighten my day. If anyone is wondering what a private tour with Joolz is like, my son and I spent an afternoon with him last June and it is even better that the videos. He tells you the "real" stories too.
Cheers Paul..I hope you're doing well!
LOVE the Trading Places reference!!!
Another great video joolz!
This was great!! London has some amazing churches !!
Quite informative and entertaining. We applaud your dapper look in the beginning of the video by the way. We are taking down copious notations to assist us in our next visit and do so appreciate you, our man on the historic streets of London. Walk on!
Thanks James. I got new trousers!
Wonderful video! 💗 Like and support from London! 😉
Fascinating video full of interesing info.
Great video!
One of your best! Fascinating.
Thanks!
Who would have thought a film about churches could’ve been so interesting but once again jools u do it, I take my hat of to you 😂
Thanks. Yes, there are many interesting churches
Many thanks Joolz for yet another fine video. Not a churchman myself but none the less found this tour just as interesting & entertaining as all your others.
Glad to see you drinking a decent pint of ale for once ie Timothy Taylors Landlord and not that usual London Pride or Larger muck you seem to usually consume.
atb Chris
I love London History, great video
Cheers Raymond
Joolzie! Joolzie! Put that pint down and give us a hug! Love ya, man! Wonderful little vid, I Love visiting old churches...Thanks for the vid, mate! Cheers!
Cheers again!
Love churches architecture in London!! Thanks for the video
What a great tour of London's great churches! I was in London 6 months ago and being Catholic, I meant to go to St. Ethelredas church, which I learned about from one of your earlier videos, but sadly just never had time :( I'll just have to do it next time I'm in London
Cheers! Yes, I think I included that one here too..I cheated!
I'm a little late but wow, what a wonderful informative and fun video, thank you. I absolutely loved this. There's literally history all around us
Awesome channel so interesting
I used to live in the Barbican and walked past St Bartholemew's the great many times. I ventured in one Christmas about 8 years ago. It was so peaceful and quiet... I loved it. Thanks so much for a great video. You should have your own TV show.
Thanks! I agree! What do i have to do to get noticed?
Very enjoyable. Tks
Great video
I have really enjoyed your videos. I have learned so much about London. Hello from Los Angeles
Nice one ,mate
Love all your vids. Been in London on June 2018. Great city. Will be back again soon to meet up client! Hope can meet u too.
Another interesting video!
Fab as usual. Shout out for St Olave's (Sam Pepys' buried there) and St Helen's in Bishopsgate... Forget about Westminster Abbey and discover tiny hidden gems of calm... There's synagogues and temples to do yet Jules :)
Late June 2021! I’m rewatching all of Joolz videos for the 5th time lol
Cheers all!
All of them for the 5th time?
I like this fella best guide iv seen.thankyou very interesting
Coincidentally enough I’ve been to St. Bartholomew’s myself, thanks to you. Glad you made this! xxx.
Thanks Mandee.... glad you liked it!
Thanks Julian. I just got back from a trip to London from Canada. Enjoyed every minute of it but now I have to go back to see all these churches that I missed.
Great job. We really like what... and how... you're doing it.
Joolz I really do love your videos.
Thank you Sir
Great video brilliant 👍👍
Set into St Sepulchre's churchyard wall, corner of Newgate Street and Giltspur Street is the first public water fountain in London.
Love your series! Sending you a bit a $, put it towards a beverage! Cheers!
Okay, when he walked out of the stairwell door! ❤️
New video, splendid!
Remember that sandal you found on the Thames? It was his 🤫
My second great grandfather Henry Archard was married in St Margarets next to Westminster Abbey.
I am not Neil , from Canada , I think you are unintentionally brilliant , why ? Because I think you have answered a historic question that helps break a curse of Fyvie castle in Scotland about the weeping stones , I think you have revealed the second weeping stone hidden in Bartholomew church . Only one more stone to find to break Thomas the Rymer curse well done . I would give you a metal of honour if I had the power to do so . I suspect most will miss the importance of this discovery . I suspect you might have missed it too . well done , any ideas where the last stone could be ? I know the first stone is in fyvie castle . only one left to find .glad I subscribed for many reasons . Love from Canada .
Hi Jules, just dicovered your channel, I'm loving it! Tally ho! Pip pip! Have subscribed.
Hello Julian, I have enjoyed all your videos, but this time it was very interesting. I was in London 2015 and I wisited only in one church, wich was Temple church, so now I Know more about churchies in London.
Thanks. I would have included that here but it features in two other videos of mine so I left it out.
Very Interesting Video
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
Haha, Iove when you play yourself, plus you run into the tourist with the red pants! That's hilarious!
These are fab, I am binging on them, lived in London in the 1970's, amazing period except a lot of destruction was still on going ! This was pre chic Soho and no Convent Garden ! Bourne & Hollingworth was still open on Oxford St !
Love it
Love it.
Love it.
Brilliant quoting trading places.... karate man don’t show there weaknesses. I love these videos top class.
Jules!! You took me there in June!! I remember!
That's right!
Watching in Dec 2020! Lol
Merry Christmas to all!
I have started watching all of your videos .. very interesting, love London and it’s rich history and you bring it all to life .. I’m surprised the BBC hasn’t snapped you up. Thankyou 👏☘️
Extremely interesting indeed, St.Bartholemews truly a lovely historic place, I bet the majority of Londoners are unaware of these histories. Thanks for the information, love it.
Just discovered your channel. Love it! I have only been to London once and didn’t have a good experience. You have show me a side of it that I want to visit so I will be coming back . I have left you a donation on PayPal to thank you . Keep up the great work and I really hope you get your own tv series. I have also subscribed.
That is very kind. Ye, don't forget to tell the BBC! And the London tourist board!
Consider it done x
Ohne world
I really need to start exploring churches, starting with the first one, it's beautiful
Well I went there today and it was indeed beautiful
Thank you
You missed out the best cafe in London (over your right shoulder) @ 06:39 'Beppe's Cafe'. Best AM fry up within a 20 mile radius.
Ohhhhh!!! My sister wanted me to cover that....but this was just churches.
Love your vids, what's the music you use? Femail vocalist?withnail and I is also my fav film
This is the funniest one yet!! "Commonly known as bollocks " too funny!!
11:26 this is supposedly where the saying 'one for the road' came from too
beautiful ✝️
This is my favorite 🙏😍
A tour of the former workhouses would be cool. Lots of famous Victorians were in and out of them!
ohhhhhhh.... Now that's a great idea!
The choral group Tenebrae sing an incredible performance of "Miserere mei, Deus" (Allegri) at St. Bartholomew's the Great.
Joolz to supplement your income try selling merchandise, you have the logo already, silhouette of a man with bowler hat and umbrella, they should sell well, hats and umbrellas, T-shirts with the logo on, perhaps back-packs and light-weight waterproofs with the joolz logo on as well. Your channel is better than any TV programme and needs to keep going, cheerio-old-chap,
SUPERB !!
Thanks Jimmy!
Are you down to doing a piece on Synagogues?
Many thanks Julian for talking slowly. There are lots of Italian people following you
Oh great! Did you like my Sicily film?
@@Joolzguides Yes...your video is amazing .Tutto bene! I live in Northern Italy but every now and then I go to visit Sicily, so I know quite all of this incredible island.I'm sure you like Sicily. Bye
Question: what is the meaning of the three balls that designates a pawn broker? I’ve seen it in a number of your videos now and am rather curious lol
Thanks, Julian, for another very impressive video. One comment, at 10:55, you say that Oxford Street is so named because it was the old road to Oxford, in fact I believe that it was the road to Winchester. Oxford Street is named after the property developer Edward Harley, 2nd Earl of Oxford and Earl Mortimer. Many streets in the area bare his name and that of his wife, Lady Henrietta Cavendish-Holles.
Is that so? I'm pretty sure if you go straight up that direction you'd come to around Oxford though. Or I might be mistaken.
Ah....I just followed it on a map and it heads towards Reading.
@@Joolzguides I can trace it as far as Silchester, in Hampshire, which is between Reading and Basingstoke.
The font in the first church, is the font where Hogarth was baptised.
