This is a very interesting area and a lovely place to visit for non touristy things to do in London like the Charles Dickens Museum and Foundling Museum, just a stone's throw from Lambs Conduit Street.
Dickens and his wife moved here in 1837 and he wrote Oliver Twist and Pickwick Papers here. They’ve got a bunch of his writing materials, paintings furniture and much more….
In Long Yard is where the original conduit was. William Lamb 1577 paid £1500 to renovate a conduit house in Snow Hill and water was fed off to here from a tributary of River Fleet, which people said tasted ok compared to the later New River which opened.
The Lamb Pub - from 1720 in named after William Lamb. It still has snob screens from Victorian times so you could drink without being observed by the bar staff.
Lambs Conduit Street itself is mostly independent shops cafe, wine bars. No chains. Partially pedestrianised and even the supermarket is run by the community.
Great Ormond Street Hospital originally only had 10 beds (1852) 1st UK hospital dedicated to children.
in 1929 JM Barrie gave all rights of his plays and books to fund the hospital’s research.
The Foundling Museum in Brunswick Square (Coram Fields) - In 1739 Thomas Coram, master mariner was appalled at the amount of children abandoned by their parents so he campaigned for 17 years until George II granted a royal charter for the Foundling Hospital.
Hogarth and Handel helped. Hogarth got people to donate art and Handal performed the Messiah in the chapel.
It became first public art gallery in UK and it’s now the Foundling museum.

Thank you for this channel Joolz. I used to live in London when I was around 3 to 5 years old. My parents worked as journalists for Soviet Union Embassy in London. It was the end of 70ties - beginning of 80 ties. I don’t remember much though I really fell in love with London and I walk through streets of London till now in my dreams. We lived on Basewater road, near Hyde park. Could you please make a video about this area. Thank you. Wish u a pleasant day!

@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE Hi J. I thought my remark was correctly in place as a reply to the initial comment above by M. Reagan that referred to this film as "another masterclass". I only meant that Joolz tour(s) are an example of a masterclass on how travel/ tour videos should be done. His are brilliant in the sense that the host is so comfortable with the camera on him, he stays on track and any small tangents are quick bites of humor, but are mostly a "BTW" remark related to his main topic. You get history AND stories that personalize the historical events, humor, a personable, affable host, and are always left wanting more. His are perfect examples of what I would want from an 10 or 25 minute segment on what to see when in a specific area of London. I can think of 2 suucessful travel shows here in the states that are pleasant, but "yawns" in comparison to Joolz'. They could take a lesson from Joolz as his films are a masterclass in how it should be done. He certainly has mastered on balancing relative pertinent news with fun tidbits. A friend of mine did say that one gets immediately engrossed in these films. The host is not afraid to correct himself or even make fun of himself. It is like walking with someone that you know, trust and truly like. IMHO, his films are masterclasses on how these travel documentaries "should be" done. I'm sorry if my reply fell under your remark in error. It was meant for the initial comment/ reference to "another masterclass" by M. Reagan. My sincere apologies. I will remove my remark and THIS explanation from the thread by the weekend. No harm meant. Again, my apologies.

@user-jl7ym4en5b 4 жыл бұрын

@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE Oh, good. I thought I'd offended you by using the term "Masterclass", (regarding Joolz' approach and content in his films), OUT of term, under YOUR comment, AND not directled right to M. Regan's first remark about Joolz' work being "Masterclass" worthy. In the states, there is actually a series called "Masterclass". It's an hour interview with someone who has achieved great success in any of the arts, business, engineering, meditation & even people who hv shown immense grace through adversity. They chat to the camera about their success, their processes, and approach to their work, often really, their passion. Not to embarrass him, but if there was to be a program on how to CONTINUALLY produce brilliant travel videos packed with historical information, "curiously odd, yet related tidbits and always with an engaging manner and sense of humor that keeps viewers "wanting more". In this case, Joolz' is the obvious choice to teach such a "Masterclass". It is clear he puts much effort into each film while filming and editing them, but he also makes it all seem so effortless and truly enjoyable for the viewer. I have been to London every year since 1986 and since 1991, I have visited @ 4 times a year, often staying for 3 months at a time. NEVER have any of my friends/hosts, (all well educated), shown me so much or taught me so much and I am not even halfway thru Joolz' films. He is a "Master"! Besides all that I have said above, I love how he breaks out into "yee old" songs, his love & knowledge for/about Bowie, (who Julian could well hv missed, as D.B. is at @ 2 generations older than he is), 80's pop songs... One segway abt an area of town, had him breaking out into a verse from a song by"SQUUEZE". It made me laugh aloud, as I realized I did know ONE obscure reference! Moreso, I'm amazed how he can just be talking about a famed poet, writer or historian and then he will suddenly share a beautiful piece of poetry or essay or a simple quote written by them! I feel so ignorant. Branagh is a SIR, but I'd rather see J.M.'s as Richard III. I only discovered Joolz @ a week ago? Odd, he came up on my YT "autoplay" after I'd been listening to an old, sad song from the 70's that I love for its lyrics & sentiment. No relation to London or travel? I was hooked and went straight to his film on Marylebone. I loved it and would have missed out on so much not having seen the piece. I will SHUT UP NOW- thank you and thank Joolz' again. I ordered a few shirts, some with the " .com " reference, and will be "advertising" for him on the beach in Malibu as I walk 4 miles 4x a week before breakfast or after dinner, ( depending .... I kp an eye on the tide calendar - but I wld bet Joolz knows to calculate any type of maritime chart! I think what wld be more appreciated than my near future "subliminal advertising, is if I stopped commenting on his every other video! I will. Part of my problem is often I don't look at YTube until I'm meant to be sleeping by 1AM and I write too often and far too much. That would be my Masterclass: " Drivel 101. So I won't delete the comment, but will curtail my writing comments. I can't say it often enough, or in as many different ways. We have so much junk TV that 25 year old programmers do not know there is a market for Joolz's great branding. It's like walking with a friend that you enjoy and trust, (& as if he doesn't know that the camera is on), listening to him chat about a plethera of history, related trivia, funny antectodotes - watching his films is time REALLY well spent. I am sure he will find much success in anything that he chooses to pursue. It is out there, waiting for him. And Thx Jonathan, I was overtired & thought U were getting stroppy with me.Txs for yr nice reply and best to you.

We know this area of London extremely well as a result of many trips to Great Ormond Street Hospital since 1990 when our eldest son was diagnosed with autism. Also with our daughter, who was born in 1997 and was severely disabled, who had to go there at least once a month. We had a ten week stay in GOSH with her back in 2004 just when Ciao Bella, on Lamb's Conduit Street, was re-launched and we went there virtually every evening during that stay and got to know the owner extremely well. The last time we visited which was some years back now was to tell him that our daughter had unfortunately died and he was visibly moved. Spent many hours with our daughter in Queen Square in her wheelchair; as she was blind she used to love to hear the hubbub of people, birds singing, even traffic sounds. Also, the Queen's Larder and the little church on the opposite corner where they used to hold an annual remembrance service for GOSH children which we used to attend. All in all brings back so many memories....sadness, yes, but the thought of the smiles on my daughter's face when she heard just normal, everyday sounds still brings a tear to my eye. Love you and miss you Becky X

The Queens Larder pub was originally a storage place and I think was made into a pub in the 60s or 70s

I used to drink in The Sun on Lamb Conduit St. when I worked in High Holborn back in the early 80’s it was a haven for the CAMRA buffs back then. I would often see Pauline Quirke sitting at the bar having a lunchtime pint ... took me a while to realise that The Sun has apparently been renamed The Perseverance ... It has been ‘done up’ quite a lot since my time drinking there when it was a proper spit & sawdust pub ... I don’t recall the ‘snobs’ being there either.

I used to play in the foundling as a kid in the fifties. A lovely place with swings and roundabouts and in the summer sometimes they'd fill up the large paddling pool and ice creams would be sold. Marchmont street had varied shops and you could get your shoes mended and my mum practically did all her shopping there at one stage. Kenneth Williams lived in my street and went to my primary school before his family moved to Marchmont street. My early memories were of the bomb damage to play on. The Dickens museum is lucky to be still there my dad's school was very near and that was flattened. In my teens I walked down Doughty street to work in High Holborn. Very fond memories of the old place. I used to meet up with a mate for lunch in Lambs conduit street a good blowout for a three shilling luncheon voucher.
