Walthamstow once had the longest outdoor street market in Europe. These days it's still full of life and variety.
Joolz and Simon discover many interesting places on this walk around Walthamstow. There's lots of food including sushi, Caribbean, Polish doughnuts with alcohol and Indian pizza (it has to be seen to be believed!)
See where the first British motorcar was built and and where it now resides in the Vestry Museum full of the archives of the residents of Walthamstow.
There's London's oldest house and a remarkable collection of neon lights at Gods Own Junkyard.
There's also the Walthamstow Civic Centre which is an impressive building and of course Lloyd Park which is the home to William Morris.
It's quite apt that my tailor is just around the corner from someone so famous for his textile designs!

Ealing, a vibrant district located in West London, has a rich history that spans centuries and encompasses various aspects of art, culture, and governance. One of its notable landmarks is the renowned Ealing Studios, which played a pivotal role in shaping the British film industry. Additionally, the Ealing Town Hall stands as a prominent symbol of civic pride and heritage.
The history of Ealing can be traced back to the medieval era when it was a rural village known for its farming and agricultural activities. Over time, Ealing gradually evolved into a thriving community with the arrival of traders, artisans, and craftsmen.
In the 19th century, Ealing experienced significant growth and development with the advent of the Great Western Railway. The establishment of the railway station in 1838 enhanced transportation links, attracting residents and businesses to the area. Ealing became an attractive suburban retreat for wealthy Londoners seeking respite from the bustling city.
Ealing's association with the film industry began in 1902 when Will Barker established the Will Barker Studios, later known as Ealing Studios. The studio produced a wide range of films, including silent movies and early British talkies. However, it wasn't until the 1940s and 1950s that Ealing Studios gained international acclaim for its iconic comedies and dramas known as the "Ealing Comedies." Films such as "Kind Hearts and Coronets" (1949) and "The Lavender Hill Mob" (1951) became classics, establishing Ealing Studios as a cornerstone of British cinema.
Ealing's Town Hall, an architectural gem, was inaugurated in 1888. Designed by architect Charles Jones, it stands as a testament to the town's civic pride and local governance. The elegant Victorian-style building features a clock tower and decorative stonework, adding grandeur to the town's landscape. The Town Hall served as a meeting place for the local council and hosted various events, including concerts and exhibitions.
During the 20th century, Ealing continued to grow and diversify. The town saw an influx of immigrants, particularly from Ireland and South Asia, contributing to its multicultural character. Today it has the highest Polish population in the Uk.
In recent years, Ealing has undergone further transformation, blending its historical charm with modern developments. The area is a popular residential choice for families and young professionals, boasting a mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, as well as contemporary apartment complexes. Ealing's open spaces, such as Ealing Common and Walpole Park, provide residents with green havens amidst the urban landscape.
Today, Ealing remains a cultural hub with a thriving arts scene, hosting festivals, concerts, and community events. It embraces its cinematic legacy, with the Ealing Studios continuing to produce films and television shows.

In this nostalgic trip down memory lane Joolz and Simon visit Freud's House and Museum, the Alexandra and Ainsworth Estate, Turner Layton's House, the invention of Netball, The Central School of Speech and Drama, Cosmo Restaurant, Hampstead Theatre and much more with the usual hilarious banter and fun facts thrown in.
Swiss Cottage is located in the London borough of Camden, situated in the northwestern part of the city. The area is known for its elegant architecture, picturesque streets, and vibrant cultural scene.
In the early 1800s, Swiss Cottage was a rural area with a few scattered cottages and farms. However, with the construction of Regent's Canal in 1820, the area began to attract more residents and became a popular spot for summer retreats for wealthy Londoners. It was during this time that the area began to be known as Swiss Cottage, named after a nearby Swiss chalet-style pub that became a popular gathering spot.
By the mid-19th century, Swiss Cottage had become a thriving residential neighbourhood, attracting artists, writers, and other creative types. The area's charming architecture and tranquil setting made it an ideal location for those seeking inspiration and a quieter way of life. Many famous figures, such as Charles Dickens and George Eliot, are known to have spent time in Swiss Cottage.
Throughout the 20th century, Swiss Cottage continued to grow and develop, with the construction of new housing and commercial buildings.
However, the area has managed to maintain much of its charm and character, with many of its historic buildings and landmarks still standing.
Today, Swiss Cottage is a thriving neighbourhood with a vibrant cultural scene. It is home to a range of shops, restaurants, and cafes, as well as several cultural institutions, such as the Hampstead Theatre and the Freud Museum. The area also has excellent transport links, with the Swiss Cottage tube station providing easy access to the rest of the city.
In terms of culture, Swiss Cottage has a rich and diverse heritage, with influences from all over the world. The area is home to many different communities, including Jewish, Irish, and Greek, among others. This has led to a rich cultural tapestry, with a wide range of festivals, events, and traditions celebrated throughout the year.
From its humble beginnings as a rural retreat to its current status as a thriving cultural hub, Swiss Cottage has undergone many changes over the years, but has managed to maintain much of its charm and character. Whether you are a history buff, a culture vulture, or simply looking for a great place to live or visit, Swiss Cottage is well worth exploring.

I love this area. It's one of my favourite parts of London because I love anything related to ships and seafaring.
There's the whole regeneration of the the area around Stave Hill, food, cocktail bars and lots of historical treasured found by my friend Monica on the foreshore of the Thames.

See the pubs they met in and where Bolshevism was born as Joolz is shown around by an expert Lenin in London tour guide.
Lenin lived in London at the start of the 20th century in several apartments around Bloomsbury so he had access to the British Library. Many meetings were held in pubs attended by the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks.
This is a fun and informative romp through early 20th century revolutionary London!

It only became officially recorded as Fitzrovia on ordnance survey maps in 1994 and was all fields 250 years ago.
In this walk we go to Fitzroy Square where George Bernard Shaw and Virginia Woolf lived. Then we see some charming mewses which were occupied by cabbies and dairy farmers.
Then there's Cleveland Street with the invention of morse code and my tailor Paul Kitsaros.
This is also the street where the Telecom Tower is and has a history of scandals and communist clubs involving the heir to the throne and Karl Marx.
Then there's the lady who sells buttons in Charles Dickens' house and the beautiful Fitzrovia Chapel.

As usual there are many interesting buildings, stories, and people connected with Stepney Green and Whitechapel. It was an area popular with sailors and has been host to many different ethnic groups down the ages starting with the French Huguenots, then the Irish, Jews, and Bangladeshis.
The elephant man, working boys, the salvation army, Captain Cook and many breweries all feature in this fun, jovial and interesting London walk.

The history of the taxi, what are the rules and regulations? Who owns one? How do you become a taxi driver? How long does it take to do the knowledge?

Most of them are in central London but some are a bit further out. I think it's a nice way to remember people who have departed this life. There's also the usual banter and other bits and pieces as we wander around London.

#JoolzGuides are perfect as #LockdownWalks and perfect for your daily exercise.
I'll be honest, it's not the most picturesque of walks because of all the building going on but once you're past that it has it's pretty corners and, as usual, it's packed full of history and anecdotes, dead people and buildings which aren't there anymore.
St. Pancras New Church, where to get Malaysian food and Roti Cenai, Laurence corner, secret KGB spy meetings, Euston Station, Mornington Crescent, Charles Dickens' school, Withnail and I, and much much more!!
All with the soundtrack of Terry St Clair!

Why we have a Christmas tree, what's in mince pies, Christmas cards, Christmas crackers and the grinch who banned Christmas!!
All the while the ghost of Christmas past is trying to stop Ebeneezer Joolz turning into an old Scrooge.
Thanks to The Albert (Primrose Hill) and The Haverstock Tavern for the meal!

Walk the streets with Joolz where sailors trod. Walk in the footsteps of Sir Francis Drake, Sir Walter Raleigh and Queen Elizabeth I!
See where the Jolly Roger pirate flag was born and where the ancient mariner is buried alongside Christopher Marlowe.
Samuel Pepys being unfaithful to his wife and the Czar of Russia, Peter the Great, being wheeled around a huge garden in a wheelbarrow!
There's also Dire Straits and Ha'penny Hatch, a beautiful piece of Victorian engineering.
Oh, and don't forget the usual helping of Mutiny on the Bounty and Mydiddee one of the first Tahitians to visit England.
See the old victualling yard and the naval officers' quarters.
Deptford is a terrific place for a walking tour with a salty sailor's theme!

Turkey is huge so I do my best to cover a large selection of laces to go, and things to do in Turkey in this video.
We start in Nevsehir in Cappadocia where you can learn how to be a balloon pilot. We visit the beautiful hotels including Cappadocia Cave Resort and The Selfie Hotel.
There is also a jeep safari and classic car ride.
We visit the famous underground city built by the Christians to hide from the Romans in cappadocia and crawl through the many caves and incredible rock formations.
I also ride on a camel and attend the Turkish International Tourism Film festival.
Then I go to Kusadasi and visit the ancient city of Ephesus where St John the Apostle and the Virgin Mary lived.
There is the Temple of Artemis, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world and the grave of St John. Also the house of the Virgin Mary.
Then I go the Canakkale to the Hellespont where Lord Byron swam across and to the ancient city of Troy to see where the Trojan War took place and the grave of Achilles. There's the trojan horse used in the film with Brad Pitt and I go across the Dardanelles to Gallipoli to Anzac Cove.
Then it's off to Istanbul. An amazing trip!
