Brilliant Bayswater - Rather Splendid London Walk
"Bayswater is a delightful neighbourhood just west of Edgware Road and east of Notting Hill.
As usual Joolz visits some excellent establishments and talks about the history of the area. There is also the usual friendly and hilarious banter with Simon his cameraman.
We visit the Pet Cemetery with over a thousand graves. There are tales of highwaymen, the leader of the Rastafarians, fake houses, Albanian heroes and much more.
The amazing story of Whiteleys in Bayswater and also the place where Mr Creosote exploded. Beautiful art deco Turkish baths which haven't changed in a hundred years, an underground ice-rink and a fabulous 85 year old who performs every night at The Tiroler Hut, an Austrian beer hall in the heart of Bayswater for the last 55 years.
Bayswater is also home to the Greek church where they filmed James Bond Goldeneye.
We pass Sting's first london flat and Stiff Records who signed Madness, Ian Dury and The Damned."
