A tremendous walk around London's rather splendid ancient city wall built by the Romans alongside the modern Barbecan centre.
We pass the panyer boy who marks the highest point in the city of London (or does he?).
Christchurch Greyfriars which was never rebuilt after the war. Watts memorial to self sacrifice, livery companies, a buried head of a king and Shakespere's house.
As usual there is a lot more with many interesting facts about London as we take a delightful walking tour around this area packed with London history.

Just add me diamond, I recognise many of your sights when I moved from up North ie Hartlepool to London for work I lived in the streets of London for 3 months including thru the kings x fire 🔥 and the Great storm, I passed thru Kings x 5 mins before the fire in 87, and passed back thru the area on the underground when I returned ( I rode the underground rails ) you could then for hours for 50p, and watch the mail train , I remember the great storm within a month in 87, the police ushered everyone of the Waterloo concorse as the glass in the roof was collapsing onto the concourse, the police said stay near the station, I however , went for a walk around London as I thought it was a unique opportunity to see The greatest capital in the world, 300 hundred year old trees fallen across the Mall, Now back up North but probably end back up on streets ( maybe in London). Your films are superb and unique 😊 Cheers Joolz 🥂 Alan

18:45 interesting it's named after a fort, the Barbican does remind me of a big sea fort outer walls always stained with dripping water. Walking around there even during a lunch time down the narrow corridors, there's just no one about even though as you state in the video, practically all homes are occupied. The outer courtyard is always empty. You can regard it as a semi failed project that just keeps chugging away through the ages.

This has been my favorite installment of your series. I had to watch it twice, while pausing frequently to read the plaques and memorial stones you've featured in this. I've been hoping you would tour the Barbican as it has always been a very attractive place to me. You showed the Museum of the City of London in a previous episode, and it used to be located at The Barbican. Once again, thank you for a smashing tour of some of the most interesting places in The City!

@Joolz Guides - London History Walks - Travel Films you probably know more than I do!😅 However, when you were showing those livery halls I was really hoping you might point one out for The Worshipful Company of Mercers which Thomas's father (Richard) & uncle (John) founded (if it even still exist!😁). Thomas btw was Christian's brother so he would be a ?x-gr uncle. But his father & uncle were Lord Mayor (obviously at different times - I believe John was even High Sherrif at one point) during the time of Henry the VIII & it is said that they had a huge home down on the Old Roman Road - even though I really enjoyed your vid you did on the Gresham, the Grasshoppers & The Exchange, I found it sad to see that huge modern bank built over the top of where it once stood.

The content of you videos never disappoints! Before I watched your channel I had no idea that London had so much to offer. I can't wait for lockdown to end, so that I can go on an adventure to London for the day!

What a really great video today, the London's wall was very interesting to learn about thank you. It was a little strange to see part of the London wall in the parking structure but it's nice to see they were trying to preserve it. Wish her in America we would try and save more of your history and really learn about it more.

Good to see a new video. I like all the unintentional connections that pop up around every corner. One of my ancestors was undoubtedly a member of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths. His work can still be seen in the gilding on the Elizabeth Tower, aka Big Ben. His son would have none of that and became a letter carrier, and later a clerk. Oh, and pineapple on pizza? Apparently it's a Canadian thing. Sorry, world. We didn't know it would offend so many Italians.

Thanks for another brilliant tour. I think that what makes your videos so good is not just the fascinating subject matter but also you: your personality, style, humour, happy demeanour, etc. In short, you have the X factorJoolz.

Christchurch Newgate ruins that you mention did feature in a lovely film in the late 60s and also was more of it, all the side walls have been taken down since. Also all surrounding area around the church was closed off, which made it more enchanting something like a secret garden, where a group of teenagers used to climb into to hang out. Also I did work at P.H.Q. and K.E.B. buildings you mentioned and other ones in Newgate street and St.Martins Le Grand in the 80's sadly all knocked down now. K.E.B is now Merrill Lynch. Lastly did you never know of the movie. Thank you for a nice interesting video
