I wish we still ... By: ElaineDawkins. on 27 Dec 08, 16:30:35 I wish we still wore clothes like that! I like the mod look a lot better than the stupid teenage fashions that we're stuck with today. Thanks for posting this!
Thanks for posting ... By: johnniescarlett. on 13 Dec 08, 12:33:15 Thanks for posting this, it's really fab gear!
Clips from this often appear on TV documentaries about the swinging sixties.
Everything was so wonderfully innocent and fun back then, or at least that's the way it appears now.
Isn't everyone thin! Probably why I can never find original retro clothes to fit me. ;-)
London did swing back then, well it did in a few streets in Chelsea anyway.
The rest of us watched it on the News at Ten!
Sounds like Herb ... By: pinecamguy. on 30 Nov 08, 23:00:06 Sounds like Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. They were very popular 1966-67. I don't recognize the song, though.

This appears to be ... By: Medgey. on 19 Nov 08, 22:54:24 This appears to be 1966 I guess.
I visited Hung On You which was the only really avant garde boutique featured.
Carnaby Steet was finished by then .
Carnaby street was finished by 1964.
My favouite boutique at time was Just Men where I had various garments made . It was in Tryron street off Kings Road.

OMG The Clothes!! ... By: artistinwonderland. on 16 Nov 08, 08:06:59 OMG The Clothes!! The yellow tights! The Purple velvet suits! I NEED a time machine, or I'll go crazy...
What a time! I'll ... By: MattHatter. on 14 Nov 08, 10:18:18 What a time! I'll never forget when "Austin Powers" came out back in '97 I thought, "This is so cool, now kids my age will actually know something about places like Carnaby Street!" Being a '60s nut since I was all of 10 I already knew about this scene. All these young people were playing "Revolver" and "Sgt. Pepper" in their bedrooms and turning on to the new sounds of Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix. What a friggin' time to be alive!

Marilyn was the #3 Fashion Icon of the 20th Century, which is probably why she's there. A very famous 'landmark' at one time.

the HAIR/clothes/make-up are great, but the narrator is priceless. :)
Before Starbucks and Caffe Nero and all that cafeterias looking all the same, young Londoners of late 50's and early 60's met in places like these. Not swingin yet.
This is wonderful! ... By: johnniescarlett. on 13 Dec 08, 12:59:05 This is wonderful! More please.
The opening music and credits bring back great childhood memories of going to the pictures in the UK - trying to see the screen through a fug of cigarette smoke!!
Soho looks great, full of real characters and lovely old classic cars.
Isn't the first waitress the actress Rosemary Leach? She later went on to be Ronnie Corbett's Wife in the sitcom "No, That's Me Over Here" in the late sixties.

Thanks for this. We ... By: Koganman123. on 02 Nov 08, 01:46:35 Thanks for this. We have lost something somewhere. Thank heavens for films like this being posted on U tube. My father owned a transport cafe in the 1960s, not quite the same thing - but similar. The thing thats not obvious is just how few places there were to eat out back then
great post, such a ... By: wizzfoot. on 03 Oct 08, 01:27:54 great post, such a shame london's lost so much of it's quirky little places, thanks to ridiculous rents and rates, driven by the bland american coffee monster invasion we got 1000 varities of coffee and one big homogenized high street London-wide. star bucks is for wankers that need to have a faux life style experience in the blandest of surroundings! Not my cup of tea
