My understanding of Flotsam and Jetsam is that Flotsam is material that has fallen of or broken off a vessel by accident, whereas Jetsam is material intentionally thrown overboard in order to save the vessel, for example cargo thrown overboard to prevent a vessel from listing and then capsizing.

My parents left London for Australia when I was 2yo. Now 65 years later, I will be coming back. Jools' escapades across my own home town, has me itching to see all the wonderful places he shows us.

An absolute treat as always, love a Joolzy sunday. EDIT: 16:42 - I actually walk from the Elizabeth Line to my office [very close to the Shuffle]. The reason it's so quiet on a Friday [and a major reason why I go in on a Friday] is most people exercise their 'Work from home' rights as a carry over from the Covid period. Most of the financial services industry now work on a 2, max 3 days in the office policy. Unsurprisingly, Monday/Friday but more so the latter are absolutely dead. Go down there on a Thursday evening or a Wednesday during the day and it's heaving.

I was the station controller inside Canary Wharf station in the early 00s watched it all grow up around me to the place becoming the busiest single line station on the network. Shout out to all the staff working there. ❤. Also. Another great vid 👏🏻

I know we only see the highlights, but Jools has a great job. Really enjoy watching his interactions with the people he meets. Great.

Ahhh - nothing better than relaxing and floating downstream into a Joolz’ video on a Sunday 😊

What a great video, I haven't been into my old London for many years now and I am quite surprised at how London is looking now I am very impressed, even though there are very modern buildings we still have a lot of the old historical parts of London to see.

I used to work at Canary Wharf quite a few times in the late 2000s. Spotting the occasional place I could remember from my morning runs, between Limehouse and Mudchute, took me down memory lane ... Thanks a lot!

I was a young police constable who worked the streets of Limehouse, Poplar and the Isle of Dogs from 1963 to 1969, long before all the changes now on view in your most entertaining and informative video. I spent night duty time in St Anne's Church cemetery, using it as a vantage point for short periods to watch the world go by in Commercial Road before continuing my patrol on what then was 1 Beat from Limehouse Police Station in the West india Dock Road E14 where I was stationed (resident in the single quarters immediately behind the nick). In Narrow Street E14 - down the road from the church, was the Lime Kilm site which, at that time,. had the original door and arch in place (d.1805). I am 6.4" and was able to stand immediately before the door whilst the apex of its arch itself barely reached my nose - a memorable reminder of the increases in human physiology since those tumultuous Napoleonic War days. It was noticed on a visit a good while ago that the door and arch had been replaced by a "replica" and the original removed to a museum further north, if memory serves me correctly. A shame but perhaps with "conservation" in mind with so much development taking place in the Canary Wharf project.. Limehouse sub-division had 6 beats, while Poplar and the Isle had 2 large beats each as "sectional stations" within the Limehouse area of policing. Many's the time I spent working solo on night duty on either the WHOLE area of the Isle (which then had its own small "nick" - long gone) at the "base" of its geographical limit opposite the Cutty Sark and Chichester's Gypsy Moth sited across the river in Greenwich at the end of a foot tunnel for pedestrians linking the two places. Poplar also had its own nick (also gone) on the East India Dock Road leading on to Canning Town, not far from the Blackwall Tunnel entrance,,,with its two large beats to cover - again on occasional postings from my home station. So much has changed from when it was possible to walk from Limehous nick (still there) down West Ferry Road on to the Isle of Dogs and cover the whole distance via Manchester Road to connect with Poplar (High Street) and the East india Dock Road. I recall being able to enter the old (still standing) Poplar Music Hall (long disused) in Poplar High Street. and marvel at its tiny interior dimensions, with fascinating artefacts like its theatre bar still present then.. No doubt all has been swept away now by intervening "progress" in building and developing that has overtaken that area of old dockland London, far removed from the weekend input of customers heading for the well-known pubs and Chinese restaurants that were around then. Those were the days - in so many ways!!! Evening all! 🙂

Another wonderful segment! I was in London from 2 Feb until 6 Feb (last week in fact!) and I spent a good part of the time searching out places you've inspired me to visit! I went to Hornets Vintage Shop, Belgravia, Gordon's Wine Bar (3 times!) and I even spent Thursday night at Mr. Foggs with the remarkable Tom Carradine and a pub full of really fun people. Thanks for showing me that even after 36 visits to London there are still new things to see. The only bummer was that I was unable to locate a single stink pipe! Hahaha! Love ya Joolz. Book has been pre-ordered. All the best from Philadelphia USA.

Just when I think our Joolz has covered every aspect of London & the surrounding areas. . . he finds yet another topic ! Love, love, love spending my Sunday morning with a Joolz Guide video! (I just pre-ordered your book )

Excellent video Joolz. Isambard Kingdom Brunel almost died building that tunnel under the Thames, and if he had, Britain and the rest of the world would have been robbed of the many astounding innovations he later developed. The Great Eastern set the standard for iron-hulled ships which are still used to this day. Cheers.

Always a pleasure and a treat for the soul to watch you videos. All the best to you, Simon and Little Lost Lou

I came from Poplar, never knew those ‘bollards’ were previously cannons! I’ve learned something new at the age of 75!

I never knew that Limehouse was associated with the burning of lime in the old kilns, Joolz. That's really interesting. The docklands area looks quite good, with the old warehouses and docks blending in with the tower blocks. So many of those old pubs surviving in the district is great to know, as well. So interesting is this video, with the historical facts, it's compulsive watching and many thanks to you.

Loved the video and insights, spent about half a decade living in E14 and very local to all the featured places. It is such such an area contrast of poverty and immense wealth. The canary wharf area is purpose built; if it doesn't make money, it has no place to be around (hence the turf grass in place of the real thing)

Great video as always. This is a very underrated part of London... there’s so much to see and explore and I’ve only scratched the surface. Keep ‘em coming. Cheers

Being from the state all of these videos are a treat for me. I enjoy seeing the old pubs you visit some in business for hundreds of years. That is historic.👍

As always I love your walks. Many fond memories. Walked many of these same streets. Born and raised in the US but my mum was born and raised in Kennington in the borough of Lambeth. My first visit was in 1960 at the age of 10. My parents brought home several vinyl albums from the likes of George Formby and Billy Cotton. I grew up with many of the songs featured in this video. Mr. Wu, Why Don't Women Like Me, etc. Great stuff. Thanks for reviving those memories.

Hey Joolz, I can confirm that the beach is absolutely packed with people in the summer (I live right next to it). A lot of brave people were swimming in there during last year's heat wave! Cool surprise at the end to see you touring the pub where my brother works too :)

Very interesting & informative! My Sunday is only starting here in the US, and thanks to a Joolz upload, it’s off to a great start!

'The Grapes' is the waterside pub described as 'The Six Jolly Fellowship Porters' in Dickens' novel 'Our Mutual Friend'!

In the late 1960s I had friends who lived on the Island. Their "local" was the Lord Nelson pub. Nice memories in this video.

Now I'm obsessed with moving to Isle of Dogs. This is one of my favorite tours you guys have done. Kudos.

Thank you for this, as a local, I can confirm that the area offers fascinating walks at many levels; architecture, open spaces, lovely riverside, history and of course, hospitality. But I confess to being somewhat disappointed that you forgot to mention 1 Canada Square's most important piece of public art, Henry Moore's Woman Reclining (aka Old Flo), with a fascinating story behind it too. And on the eastern, Cubitt Town side of the Isle, John Outram's Temple Of Storms, a magnificently quirky example of PoMo architecture. The Isle deserves many explorations!

In 1997 to 1999 I worked at a company making margarine in Leamouth on the banks of the River Lea. We would often go to various pubs in Limehouse including the Grapes. I usually stayed in hotels at Canary Wharf and caught the DLR to East India Dock.

Another EXCELLENT Joolz guide - thoroughly enjoyed it😁

Pitt the Glint in the Milkman’s Eye! I said it at the same time you said it while watching this! Blackadder fan too!😄

Thanks for that Julian. Fascinating stuff, especially for me who worked there for about one & three quarter years 1979/80. So many changes!!! I remember the Community Farm & the view across to Greenwich, & West Ferry Rd.

Superb! Just pre-ordered the book. Many thanks for continuing with this series of walks in London.

Thank you for another fine piece of film-making Mr Joolz, you have this knack of making your videos seem so effortless and natural, yet they are brilliantly structured and crafted - which is probably why I end up watching each one many times, because so often I discover something new even on the umpteenth viewing - I loved the street sign magically morphing into the Joolz silhouette in this one! You also seem to bring out the best in all the people you meet, and your banter with Simon always leaves me laughing. I really was half-expecting you to disappear into that pyramid! Just one thing though, did you forget to mention your book?

Love your videos but this is my favourite. I loved round that area for 2 years. This video has brought back some great memories. Fantastic work Jules.

Marvellous. I walked from Tower Bridge to Limehouse on a recent visit and discovered Wiltons amongst other stuff. Now I can continue on and do all this! Spot on!

Another great video Joolz. I do like the area with the new and old blending together. Tips hat for the Barnsley Busker music too

I was so excited to watch this particular walking guide to Limehouse & Isle of Dogs, as it was a walk I did the last time I was in London. This neighborhood was totally new to me and reminded me a great deal of lower Manhattan in that a once famous port morphed into an ultra-modern enclave for finance with luxury flats situated nearby for the newest titans of industry. I remember well when Canary Wharf was a new scheme and its architectural merits were hotly debated. I guess the pandemic shut everything down and workers have adopted working hybrid or full-time at home. But it is warily empty for a weekday. Excellent video Joolz and great camera work Simon 😊

I'm going to get that book,your book. A family group of us visited the Isle of Dogs back last October. We actually came up to London to see Back To The Future. Great show. As it was raining we spent the afternoon in The London Docklands Museum which is great. I'd love to go back and explore around more.

Love Joolz Guides on a Sunday morning with my coffee it’s a great way to start. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.

I have to say, quite unexpectedly, that is one of my favourite videos of yours. What an interesting part of London!

I got so lost in that area in the late 80s trying to get to the Cutty Sark. I think I was maybe 14 or 15. And it's so very very different now. My father worked in London about 6 months a year so I got to spend a lot of time there in the 80s and 90s.

Outstanding, Joolz. Have been looking forward to you doing this area. Will have a look at it this evening after the pub. PS Lovely to bump into you at Gordon's Wine Bar last Saturday.

Brilliant as usual Joolz and Simon a great team.

Took the river taxi from Westminster to Canary Wharf last summer. The last time I'd been there was when 1 Canada Square was being built in the late eighties. Can't believe I hadn't bothered to have a look for thirty five years.

Great tribute to your Mum. I’m sure she was proud of all your knowledge and book release.

James Bond turns off the Thames into the River Neckinger, only to reappear seconds later at Millwall Outer Dock. There must be a secret connecting tunnel that only Bond knows about.

Time for a swedish fika and some @Joolzuides on a sunday afternoon. Lifes simple pleasures :) As always I hit the like before watching as there´s no doubt it´s a great video.

Cheers Joolz, it’s Sean in Atlanta! It is always a celebration day when you and Simon put out a new video! I love you too blokes in a brotherly sort of way! Haha! I did pre-order your book, and I am so looking forward to it! I am going to use it when I come to London, hopefully in November. You better not get me lost! I also love Canary Wharf, or Isle of Dogs as you call it, and I am looking forward to thoroughly exploring it again on my return trip and also using that very cool walking tunnel from Canary Wharf to Greenwich! A most excellent video, as usual! Thank you so much, because I truly love London! I was unfortunately born on the wrong side of the pond! Sean

Thanks for showing us this interesting part of London. All your videos are wonderful.

This was great. Loved it. Thanks for the reminder on the book that I will be getting in April. Looking forward to it.

Another wonder ful video Jools I used to live & work on the Isle of Dogs 23 yesrs ago, it has changed a great deal.

Millwall FC was founded on the Isle of Dogs and played on several pitches there, including Mudchute Park, before the club moved across the river to The Den. Their letterof association was signed in an upper room of the Lord Nelson pub.

Thanks for another walktrough. Love London!

You always out do yourself !!!! THIS WAS AMAZING.

Pre-ordered our book to Amarillo TX ! Your videos helped us get lots of information while our Trip to the UK was post-poned for three years through lockdown. We did make it in Sept 2022 and really enjoyed our week in London and a narrowboat trip for a long weekend. We did visit Duxford and I would love to see you add museums like that in your series. Thank you for your sharing! Can’t wait to get our book.

Great video, mate, on every level. I'll be watching more and I'll check out your book too!

Love to watch your videos, my mothers great grandparents came from London so I love all the history from your outings.thanks for sharing.

"Pitt - the glint in the milkman's eye" made me chuckle into my tea 😂 Thanks for the book recommendation, making a beeline for the cashdesk 👍 Cheers from Poland !!!

Pre order completed to arrive via Amazon on 20 April 2023! Thanks!

Funny I was at isle of dogs with my son yesterday waking around Thames path! Congrats on the book! I will be clicking on Amazon.

Thanks for this great walk, Joolz. My parents and grandparents were from the Isle of Dogs and I remember them mentioning some of the places you showed us. I suppose that's why I feel a connection to this area. Hi from Perth, Western Australia.

Cracking walk, so much interesting information, so much history. Thanks!

Thank you Joolz for the Bruce Dickenson - Iron Maiden reference. It really made the walk superb.

A new JOOLZ! A definite, Sunday treat.

It's such a breath of fresh air listening to you and watching your quirky nature, it's great. You're a very genuine nice lad. My gran was born in Bow right next to the church and my grandad was from Stepney, but during the war, my father was born in Stepney, and in 1941 my grandparents took my dad, (Who was around 10 months old), and his 4 sisters, (Who were a few years older than my dad), they took them to Wellingborough to grow up because the Jerry's were trying their best. I never met my grandparents from the Eastend and it's quite sad, I never knew much about them, I have learnt more about Eastend because of your videos. Cheers 👍. Anyway, a quick question if I may ask., My grandparents are from the Eastend, and my gran was from Bow., I was born in Kettering, but because of my grandparents place of birth, lol, does this make me kind of a cockney? Lol👌🙏

Joolz - I'd love for you to do an episode of "Restaurants & Pubs along The Thames River". I've often seen images of this in film and tv - they look like a great place for a pint looking out over the water. Thanks - Best Wishes. :)

Brilliant as usual. Waiting for my book before I plan my next visit to London. Cheers

Just pre-ordered your book for friends in Bognor Regis. They love traveling to London and around. We stayed with them Sept. 2018 and they gave us a great walking tour of London, Arundel, Portsmith & Chiswick. Thought they would love seeing your book

London place and street names are great. They conjure up such interesting thoughts about their origin.

I remember Prospects being shot in 1986 on the Isle Of Dogs. Great Video Julian. Will Order Your Book Cheers

I have always loved London. This is a great video..

Thank you for the upload, joolz, much appreciated 👍

I love these videos. On one of my visits to London last year I actually had a few pints in The Grapes. Cheers 🍻

I do love your videos. So informative but also amusing, interesting and relaxing. They should be on the NHS; when life gets stressful and the psyche collapsing they are remarkably therapeutic.

I moved to Manchester some time ago, but I love watching your video's especially around my old manor Bermondsey, it is a shame that a large majority of classic pubs are now shut down and converted to residential homes but thank you Joolz for bringing back fond memories.

Delightful walk, as usual, thanks Joolz!!

Pre ordered and can't wait another tremendous video. My family moved down to dorset and watching your videos as well as being so interesting and informative they make us feel at home.

Very much looking forward to your book! Pre-ordered yesterday.

What a treat. Right on my doorstep and barely know the area, although I do remember when the site was bought and developed back in the 80's I think. So much information packed into 30 minutes. You should publish a book.

Just pre-ordered your book, Joolz and can't wait to read about lovely London! I am planning a trip to London in the next year, so will take your book with me!

Always love a Joolz Guide!

Thank you Joolz very interesting as always. Love the jumper/ blazer look!

Ordered the book immediately. Love your work and hope to look you up when we get a chance to return to London.

Our first London flat was in Duke Shore Wharf. Amazing views, amazing location: the river is soooo busy, so much to just watch. But we were ground floor, so the walkers of the Thames Path would often peer in our windows: WE became the view. Also, the apartment had in-ceiling heating. So, after a winter of cold toes, with all the cheery waves of the walkers, we sought accommodation elsewhere. Millwall Outer Dock, in fact. Great memories of living in the area, nice and quiet compared to much of London, so a good way to ease oneself into the heaving metropolis that is London.

So interesting !!!! Joolz is the GREATEST !!!

The library in St Ives, Cornwall was designed by John Passmore Edwards....There quite a few public libraries built across Cornwall and Devon by JP Edwards...

I remember going to the Watermans Arms in around 1969 to see the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band with the Dad of the my first girlfriend. The area around it was empty of buildings or being cleared!

Preordered! Very excited to get your book.

Pre ordered and thoroughly enjoyed this video, Joolz 🎺🎵🇬🇧👏 You and Simon are 🌟🌟 🙂

I remember you from your Pitcairn doc that I watched years ago. So glad you are still doing videos. Very entertaining!

Good Morning Julian, Wishing you and your Family a Gorgeous Sunday, Great Joolz Guide excellent as always

Love you Julian. You are so wonderful! Another great walk.

Another hugely enjoyable video from Joolz, thanks mate..

Bet Uncle Albert knows West India dock well ...and the mission!!😄

He’s back 🎉🎉

Flotsam and jetsam have very specific meanings - flotsam is debris floating in water that was not deliberately thrown overboard, while jetsam is floating debris that was thrown overboard, usually to lighten a load. Jetsam is a shortened form of "jettison", and flotsam comes from the French word "flotter" - to float. I learned about flotsam and jetsam while reading Tolkien's "The Two Towers" - one of the chapters was named "Flotsam and Jetsam". Thanks for the lovely videos about all the amazing secrets of London. I was lucky enough to live in London in 1985, near the British Museum, and I went to the St. Marylebone School for girls. I had such a great time exploring the city on my own, but I wish I had known someone like you to show me all the unusual and hidden places!

Great fun. Was at the Great Eastern yesterday afternoon, and walked past Harlan's van today (I won't make that mistake again)

Wish I had had your book when I last was in London from Australia - I wasted so much precious time trying to find historical things of interest, apart from the usual tourist stuff I’d done years ago, on my own. Cheers for interesting video, I just adore London!! ❤️🇦🇺

What a beautiful are of London. ❤ very cute!!

Just wanted to say that I really enjoy these films. Hoping to make it to London someday for a trip. Hello from California.

So amazing videos Sir love learning about london keep up the amazing work
