Hackney Wick is a very cool area in East London with loads of bars and new artistic developments and stuff. Strewn all over the place is evidence of Hackney Wick's industrial past. In this video we walk from Victoria Park and through Lauriston Road taking in some interesting and cultural sights along the way.
There is the usual irreverent banter from Simon and Joolz and plenty of historical facts and fun street furniture to spot.
Music by Dave Chandler and his band

I had a great time staying in Hackney Wick as an American, Clark Hunt gave me a very warm and inviting time across the pond

I dont have to go to london anymore. I just watch Joolz

@memyself7413 2 года назад

I lived at Hackney Wick for many years and I used to pass the (Then) closed down 'Lord Napier' pub on the way to work. Back i the early 1960's, I used to go there for a couple of pints. It cost about two shillings (10p) then. Everywhere that Joolz has been in this video, has been a long walk down 'memory Lane,' for me. So, a BIG " THANK YOU" Jools and Simon.

Excellent video Joolz! I'm from Los Angeles and have visited London seven times in the last 20 years. I often watch your videos before I write my TO DO list when I'm in London. I was just there this past June 2022, and I saw two places that you featured in your videos: St Pancras Old Church and Temple Church. Both were fascinating places to visit. I was also lucky enough to run into to you just at the entrance to Primrose Hill Park. Didn't really talk to you but I did shake your hand and we said "hello!" I'm a teacher in LA and I just used one of your videos as I taught a lesson on the Knight's Templar. Keep up the good work!

The London Chest Hospital was here because it was said the air quality was the best in London. Also in the 70’s we swam in the lake and used to tow o we to the island in the middle . The rose gardens were beautiful .

Can't wait for my next trip to London to view all the historic buildings made into luxury flats! (from Oz)

I love the witty banter between Joolz and Simon. Thanks for another great walk.

@hopefulmelancholy7514 2 года назад

Hello from California (U.S.) and thank you so much for sharing the wonders of greater London. I always enjoy watching your vids, especially during these times.

Perfect. I was born and bred here. What wonderful memories . Lives down lauriston road in park side estate .

@Rose-pt4xb 2 года назад

Another great video! Local legend around the dog statues is that a child was drowning in the lake and two dogs ran in to pull him out, then the statues were out in as a memorial. Don't know how true it is. They were badly vandalised and nearly destroyed at one point. Always was my favourite thing to see in the park as a kid.

Back in the late 90's I worded for a cab firm that had Planet 24 as one of their accounts. We used to pick up the stars and staff. My first celebrity was Dave Allen, a very nice man.

I lived on and off around those parts for 20 years. I never knew most of that. Thank you Joolz. I miss old Hackney Wick and it's artist energy. A meeting point for West Ham supporters now.

Great vid I spent a lot of my childhood in and around Victoria park, and also work in fish island, Percy daltons. So great blast from the past. Knew most of the info you gave about the park, apart from the church, wow never knew that, so thank you. Will leave a donation.

@mheuman 2 года назад

Thanks, Joolz. Loved the walk around Victioria Park. It's fun when you point out the details, like the stink pipe and post boxes. It feels like we're part of your club. Well done !

I find it hard to believe that the plethora of historical tidbits are not scripted, but the delivery is so casual and serendipitous I come to believe he’s a genius.

@ballyhigh11 Год назад

Very entertaining video. This is one of my favourite areas of London, particularly in the summer. Another first for the Wick (in a former factory next to the Lord Napier) was the invention of the perforated toilet roll in, I think, the 1860s!

@washubrain Год назад

This one has to be one of the best! I used to live in Hackney in the late 90's and I keep fond memories ever since. You are doing a great work fellas and I wish you all the best ☘

@Ralph Reilly Depends when he recorded the video. If it was on the 18th or 19th, then it was indeed record-breaking.

@davidbrooks187 6 месяцев назад

I lived in the 4 story Victorian houses on Old Ford Road opposite the Vicky Park boating lake. My grandad was park keeper and lived in Llanover lodge at the Crown gates, it’s the most beautiful park & an oasis in the east end. Great memories of the park including the swings & the Lido in the long summers. Fantastic era.

@dannymcmince 2 года назад

Thanks Joolz...that's me happy again!

@JonBogdanove 2 года назад

Jolly wonderful video. You have often been drolly derisive of the transformation of London landmarks into "luxury flats", but it is simultaneously sad and wonderful to see original edifices preserved, even if the interiors are inaccessible to anyone on a normal budget.

@max_s557 2 года назад

Love you Joolz! I'm moving to London from Birmingham in the next couple of months so I will probably treat myself to a private guided tour of sunny London. cheers mate!

As soon as you said "old ford lock" my brain went: "2 Lock Keepers' Cottages, Old Fold Lock, London, E3 2NN" How can I remember the Big Breakfast's address from 25 years ago, and not my own address now??

@@AtheistOrphan Ha! That's impressive! I used to remember the Live and Kicking postal address as well, but that's been pushed out now!

@goodgood9955 2 года назад

I lived near the park for 28 years, AND, due to my acting student girlfriend, became an egg on the Big Breakfast's 'Break an Egg' competition for a week! Paula Yates, Mark from Neighbours, Chris Evans came into the green room and sat next to me showing me photos of Cher.

@peterworby2049 2 года назад

Not the same cottages in the opening shots as the big breakfast ones were on the other canal that he finally gets to😊. The one at Victoria Park is different.. How do I know that?my gt grandfather and gt uncle were the lock keepers at Old Ford Rd Victoria Park lock as shown on the video in the beginning ... Sad seeing it in such a state now with all that graffiti

Thank you Joolz for turning me onto "The Big Breakfast". I managed to discover that although the show was on tele from 1988-2002, it's recently made a comeback, restarting mid Aug 2022. So just like Doctor Who, British television never stays dead 😁

I was working on site of one of those blocks of apartments on fish island back around 2004 was pretty run down then! I remember there was a chicken slaughter place near by as there was always lorry’s parked up with boxes of live chickens on the trailer, there was a brilliant builders cafe! Hands down best cafe I’ve ever been to and we used to go and sit in the big breakfast house garden at lunch time as it was all shut and fenced of then

@stonehengeminstrel 2 года назад

The undoing of your bow tie is only impressive if you can actually prove mummy didn't fasten it for you before Simon arrived 😏😂. I tend to find after watching each episode it gives me a sense that my entire schooling education was simply a waste of everyone's time and effort 😅. Still better late than never. Another great insightful and informative video of London history, and excellent camera work, most deserving of a crust of bread and glass of stagnant water 😅✌️
