London in the Sixties

3.8/5 ( ratings)

Suddenly London was the new capital of cool, the epicentre of a revolution that transformed the cultural and social outlook of the western world.

Fashion, art, film, theatre, literature, popular music and graphic design were the hip products of Swinging London. The Krays ruled the East End and meanwhile a century of prudery was overturned with the Lady Chatterley trial.

The satire movement boomed, the Profumo scandal culminated in tragic absurdity. England triumphed in the World Cup at Wembley, anti-Vietnam protestors stormed Grosvenor Square. It was the era of Twiggy and Mary Quant, Peter Blake and David Hockney, The Rolling Stones and Sandie Shaw, Harold Wilson in Number Ten, miniskirts in the Kings Road, Private Eye and the Sunday Times's new colour magazine.

Here are the images of a phenomenal, fab decade, chosen for the aptness in recreating the ambience of the most extraordinary era in London's 20th century history.
