It was back in the sixties when Carnaby Street really came to the attention of the fashion crowd. The eclectic mix of fashion, music and design made it an iconic destination and, I'm pleased to say, the same is true 50 years on.
Not only does Carnaby Street remain a "must visit" destination but it remains true to its roots. At a time when massive chain stores seem to have taken over the biggest and best destinations and sky high rents mean new stores don't have a chance, Carnaby Street remains mostly unique with at least 65% of the current stores in the area being independent.
To celebrate it's big birthday Carnaby Street will be hosting a number of events throughout the year starting on the 26th February with an exhibition and book launch covering the last 50 years.
The highlight of the event is set to be a unique 3D timeline illustrating key people events and happenings in the area. The exhibition will carry on through February and March into early April and is completely FREE!
