To only go BACK in time - Carnaby Street, Christmas 1964
By the 1960s Carnaby Street proved popular for followers of both the
Mod and hippie styles. Many independent fashion boutiques, and designers
such as Mary Quant, Marion Foale and Sally Tuffin, were located in
Carnaby Street as well as various underground music bars such as the
Roaring Twenties in the surrounding streets. With bands such as Small
Faces, The Who, and Rolling Stones appearing in the area to work (with
the legendary Marquee Club located round the corner in Wardour Street),
shop, and socialize, it became one of the coolest destinations
associated with the Swinging London of the 1960s.
