Late 1960s King's Road London, people past, 60s street style, fashion, 35mm
Everyone looks so classy and beautiful!
So much colour! It’s especially nice to see the men wearing such great clothes, I think the 60s were a decade where it was more socially acceptable for guys to get creative and have fun with their style.
The 80s aswell
@@pixie77531 yes, I love 80s clothes too for similar reasons!
for real, i wanna dress like it’s 60s but you know how society is now🙁
@@Jaxo_R what’s stopping you? I dress in 60s style clothes all the time!
Anywhere from the 1900s to 1980s men were fashionable. In the 1990s the style is the same as today with bum t-shirts and same color jeans.
Beautiful people! Wow! So slim and elegant...and so much colour! Fun, fun, fun!
What a cool time to be alive and in your 20s or even 30s. Would love to walk down that street to see what the vibe was like then.
Amazing to see people looking around while they walk and not stare at their hands like they do today in 2021.
People do the same shit today stop being ridiculous
If they had iphones back then they would have been just as obsessed as we are today, you guys give people of the past too much credit
Look up from your phone and you'd see not everyone goes around like that all the time.
Best decade ever. Best fashion and music !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!☺
agreed
Omg the style of the 60s was just something else!
Im 25 but have spent many weeks looking back to the 1960's as so much seems to fascinate me...
I'm 17 and I love the 60s
I’m 1 and I love the 60s
When I die, I hope Heaven be a trip back to the 60's. Something like be forever rich, young a pretty in a loop between 1965 and 1980
Varon Dandy Groundhog decade.
That would be amazing.
Sorry , honey. I am only interested in drugs and boutiques.
Great footage! I wish there was a time machine to visit this era London :)
A little moment snatched from obscurity - thanks for sharing it.
Steve Bailey Good way to put it.
Exactly.
Wow, this is amazing, it's hard to imagine London being like this

Kings Road is pretty much like this
Shame no sound.
I lived just off the Kings Rd 69 to 71. This scene would have been filmed on a saturday. It was not as crowded as this on weekdays. Fashion was cheap and widely available. My favourite affordable shop in Kings Rd was "Take 6" followed by "John Michael" . Boots from "The Chelsea Cobbler". Anyone remember "Stop the Shop? You went in and stepped onto a continuously moving carousel. It was really a womens shop but men often shopped there for scarves or slimline crepe shirts.
My parents would have visited these places. Actually, my fathers business partner, moved out of london
in the 60's. He bought a place called Halstead Hall in Kent. turned out, one of the Krays, was his new neighbor.
He received an invitation to a dinner dance held by the Krays, but refused to go. He told my father, I am not getting
all dressed up for a bunch of criminals 😂
how about Cecil Gee !!
@@neuberg7315 Yes i shopped there a couple of times too. More pricey if I remember correctly.
great footage I could watch this all day
everyone wore such diffent clothes, so much more individuality..
how well the people were dressed. and the people themselves are beautiful.
At the same time, in the city were living the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and others
it would be great to go back in time to this great cear great music unlike shite shallow 2020
And me
@@klausbertlein3127. Me too.....and on the Kings Rd.
@@richardl772 Hello, more precisely in 1969 I lived in St. Leonard's Terrace for a few months, not far from the green areas. Financially inconceivable these days. It was only a few steps to Kings Road. Back then, London was still attractive and affordable for bon vivants.
@@klausbertlein3127. My father taught at Chelsea Art School and we lived at 381 Kings Rd just up from the houseboats.....my parents had a studio in converted 17th century barn on grounds on Sir Thomas Moore’s estate. Rent was peanuts. Hard to believe now.....!
This is why I loved London, how I miss it. 😢
No cell phones every one is so curious and concentrated about surroundings
am i the only one who's blown away by this
I love the 60s and 70s fashion 💖
Like a 60 second time travel, bravo!
Remember it well. I was at college at this time and this was a regular haunt for us as was Carnaby Street.
Love the 60s.
I use to live in the Kings road 66-68, my Dad managed the Imperial wine store across form the Fire station and the college . Remember going round in the back of a mini moke, lots of funny smelling cigarettes smoked in the back of the shop
I was child of the 60s it was a wonderful time
+Carol Jones Did most of the kids in the 1960's live on Kings Road?
yeah for a child every decade is wonderful
Carol Jones
I'm kind of a child in my 60s
@Rosida Andriyana you cant tell and can never claim that, because you didn't live in that era
I love 60 so much ❤
Amazing quality
the 60,s was the best ever for fashion,music and THE WALKER BROTHERS
I think the mid 60s was England's spotlight.
Just as I was born, 1964. ☺
London's? absolutely. England's? Fuck no.
wow this is the best quality 60,s footage of the kings ever is there any more and is there a longer version of this clip please
its insane, it feels like ive just time travelled to 1960.its so real and so clear
fantastic. some mini skirts almost, some capes, love it
And more than anyone else, it was The Beatles and Donovan who led that cultural revolution from late 1964 on. (Late '65 on for Donovan.)
Donovan my ass
Love it, very unique specimens.
Even old bags look great in mini skirts and tights !
The quality of the film is really good
The quality is absurdly good, almost modern except the clothes
destroyed. How sad...
pannenkoekspek victims
fuck you
Yes, destroyed...thank fuck we don't have to wear shit like that any more xDD
Yes, totally agree. Interesting username you have there. There was an independent (anti-Stalin) Dutch communist called Antonie Pannekoek in the early 20th Century who was also an astronomer.
@@Isleofskye ehhh yea all of that is not true at all 😂
This is so BEAUTIFUL!!!
Omg 💜 my heart literally skipped a beat
so many colours! it's weird, because most videos about the '60s are in black and white and they don't reveal how much colourful were those years.
oh all those darling girls wear those groovy garments! Where did all these clothes go? I want them!
Valerie Vallonie You can find clothes like this in most thrift stores.

Material. much of it was Polyester which was thick and didn't breath.. you can do the same cut and design using the cotton or thinner synthetic blends but they wont have that thick full look. this is why it's difficult to make films authentic. clothing doesn't survive decades usually. it breaks down.
If only Biba was still around!
Fancy dress stores
Pues a mí me encantó el vídeo. Me gusta cómo contrasta el atuendo de las personas de esa época tan colorido y fresco con la ciudad de Londres tan sobria, formal y antigua. Gracias x el video
Wow, proper time travel!
Used to holiday in London in the mid sixties,it really did have atmosphere,today it is an awful place.
I seriously envy those girls' wardrobes.
Why can’t everyone be this stylish now? These days everyone’s in their pjs, raggedy sweats and hoodies 🙄
I drove down Kings Road a couple of weeks ago. All I remember was seeing expensive cars parked on double yellow lines with the hazards on, while the arrogant owners nipped to the shops. People are not nice today like they were back in the 60s
Gosh it really was such an exiting time ,London was the place to be ,fashion ,music ,clubs ,now past 70 but the clothes then were full of style and colour ,the music in the clubs ,Motown and stax ,Levi jeans ,jackets ,shirts ,well faded of course ,my lambretta tv175 ,Paka jacket what ever temperature 👍❤️
And tassel loafers, ringer t-shirts (there's one at 0:42) and Harrington jackets, which are still going strong. Genuine classics.
Barefoot guy at 0:59 i imagine he became full blown hippie at some point...:)
Something to note..
Just how thin everyone is.
Goes to show how society is being ruined looking at today.

Very true... when I was at school in the 60s/early 70s, there was a kid who really stood out because he was THE ONLY fat kid in my year.
Exactly what jumped to mind....
Society wasnt too great here, murder rate was high aswell as racism and terrible air quality
Ofcourse more people were thin, people were more active and ate less junk
We are seeing the death of the highstreet in our era. I would love to step into the time machine and land in Bazaar!
All I can say is....Groovy Baby!
0:38 in -- guy in striped shirt looks like one of three possible drummers (they did all look a bit alike): Mick Avory from The Kinks, Jim McCarty from The Yardbirds, or Jim Capaldi from Traffic (in his clean-shaven photos).
Fascinating and yet sad. Like it's something that's still to happen. I was born in this year and would have been a few months old.
lmao at 0:22 it's britney spears walking to work!!
Ha lol 😂
RivzMedia lol
no that’s a drug dealer
Bout to seduce a guy and spill droplets of poison in his mouth mid-kissing! Fabulous!
haven't spotted myself but I knew many of these people, possibly
Luv the cafe racer at “30” getting a swift kick by the mod.
FAB footage!
notice how the ladies roam the streets freely in miniskirts. not possible today. with a lot of muslims prowling the streets, it is no longer safe for women to loiter about in the streets wearing clothing which would otherwise be considered "provocative"
wish this was 2 hours long
When clothes were affordable & made good quality. Over the years things have gotten expensive & cheap. In my opinion. Is one of the main reasons what made people stop dressing formal for good. Even in the workplace. I know if I was born in the 1940s. And I was a teen or young adult in the 1960s. With $100 I could afford at least 5 dresses. Compared to now of course. Can only buy one item sadly. Depending on brand. Anyways I love this video. The 1960s was full of color & alive literally. 😊 Due to that change from 20 years earlier recovering from WW2.
It's sad to believe how nearly everyone in this video has either passed or away or their life is coming to an end
Brandon Bennett Not everybody. You'll age too. Everybody. But some are gone earlier others staying a bit longer . . .
+LillyRocks desde el planeta Tierra. - In fairness to Brand, the vast majority of people in this video will be dead or in their 70's and 80's. This video was filmed exactly 50 years ago so it's a simple and correct observation.
Even the slim, attractive blonde in the light pink top and black mini skirt at 46 seconds is probably in her early to mid 70's if still alive today.
The guy behind her in a suit with a camera (standing next to the woman in the black and white dress) looks like he's in early to mid 40's so the likelihood is that he'd be in his mid 90's if still alive today and this seems pretty unlikely.
Alex J Sad for the passing of things.
It's sad to our egos. When death removes the ego we become part of the world and universe again only to reform in a different way in the future. Life's force will always have another way to reform. Life has probably appeared and disappeared out of existence an endless series of times just depends on the interaction of the correct elements on the next planet conducive for it.
All these funky women are now ugly and without teeth grannies (if not part of biomass)....
I wish men still dressed like this....and had this sort of class....maybe i would actually give them my time of day if they did
yeh baby........waiting for austin powers to walk past
Guy in the yellow shirt at 0.38 is beautiful lol.
I forget how hi-res 35mm was
everyone was so slim
0.57 early Saturday night fever fan. JT eat your heart out.
And not a single obese person in sight ! How the time's have changed.... Glad I lived through those time's. The King's Road followed Carnaby St. by 5 to 10 year's as being the place to shop. Hippy time's, not the Mod Mecca.
It looks way busier then than it has in more recent years pre lockdown.
People looked good back then. What happened?
The fashion back then. God damn, even the simple fits had something to say
Very, very 1970s in places... the bloke in white coming towards us at :53 , for example.
yes !
This is 1970 or 1971 in my opinion. If you look very close you will see 2 cars with G registration which was August 1st 1968 to July 31st 1969 so this was very late 1960’s or early 1970’s. From the clothes I would say 1971
@@mikewa2 - If I remember correctly, the footage is from 1969.
Great legs at :30!
Nah mate, its 0:03 ;)
I remember growing up in the 80s and hating its clothing style. Blue jeans blue jeans jeans...UGH
Everytime I saw
shows like Get Smart, I Dream of Jeanie, young Sean Connery bond films etc I wanted to live in the 60s and dress like them,.the 60s beatnik style.. thin suits, dark flowerful scarfs, skinny ties, black or brown leather jackets etc
I didn't like the 70s either even though I don't remember the decade but do remember the pictures.
The New Romantics etc were 80s and Neon etc
0:50 the girl with withe tshirt and green pants its obviously a time traveller from now
not with that bra
@@malimaru i dont know the history of bras lol
She was a beautiful young woman. Probably early 70's now.
Everybody's not covered in tattoos with a mobile phone glued to their ear
0.56 here is a play boy!
I LOVE all of the clothes everyone was wearing
Awesome
From 0:14 to 0:27 in -- was that some of the guys from Thin Lizzie ? (before they made it in the mid-70's)
Shame can't put some Small Faces music over the top of it to make it complete...
well said
or Kinks
Yes, Kinks. Wonderboy maybe, or Victoria. Kick myself...I mean Days.
Compare from today London streets it's like " Another country another world another London !
luc luc "The past is a foreign country they do things differently there "
I know right! Take us back to the good old days of Jimmy Savile and Gary Glitter! 😢😢😢😣
The girls used to be so thin and smartly dressed.
I thought you ppl didn’t like mini skirts? Now wearing a mini skirt is smart?
People ,every single man women girl boy wears a wrist watch🙏
I love watches of 1960s today too..
Everyone is so dapper
Futureristic fashion styles.
And football in those days! No capitalist sponsors plastered all over their jerseys, and most teams still had a majority of local, home-grown talent. And the players didn't all look the same -- so much individuality back then: Alan Gilzean, Martin Peters, Brian Kidd with his Afro (looking very much Eric Clapton from back then), Derek Posse for Millwall doing cartwheels, somersaults, hand-springs all round the field after every goal he scored! Short fat Frannie Lee carving up the defence, Clive Woods for Ipswich looking like Robert Plant, and Wee Georgie Best carving up every defence in the land. EVERYTHING was better then -- women were more loving, comedy was better, even sport was better. COMMERCIALISM and POLITICAL CORRECTNESS ruined it all.
The world cup is a total farce. Many national teams are made up of stars from essentially the premier league
not representative of their 'countries' soccer skill at all. Is not MAN UTD owned by an American? All BS through and through.
i’m hear because people say testosterone levels are at like 1/3 now of what they were 40 tot 50 years ago, but i don’t see any difference in ways of walking, facial hair, behavior, looks in the eyes or anything
Life was definitely less desperate in those days...
Less extreme wealth difference and less absolute poverty
Is it me, or did everyone have great legs back then??? Also, not trying to body-shame at all here, but everyone is slim.
Everyone's slim in this video from the 60's because a) the majority of people in this footage are 25 and under and b) it was a time when coffee's didn't have 20 sugars in them like they do in Starbucks.
A sandwich, a frappuccino and a cookie at Starbucks is well over 1,000 calories. More calories than a large Full English breakfast and yet it's nowhere near as filling.
People are much more obese now than back in the late 90's when I was a teen. It's just hard to avoid sugar in food. It's everywhere.
0:12 gosh dang! that car in the background on the right side! what is that, jag, MG, TVR?
I was wondering that - looks like an E-type from the front and a Triumph GT6 from the back -- but it is neither.
I have looked into this further - it is a Marcus GT 1968/9 www.simoncars.co.uk/marcos/marcosgt.html
Fashion Before jeans took over the industry
Not a single person is obese.
I was curious to see if there were really less overweight people back then. I saw maybe three people in the entire clip who looked like they were overweight.
Before the city was destroyed
I love how it's acceptable for women to be braless without being gawked at or glared at.
Oh we wore bras.
Shelby H... Yeah.And now even faceless scary looking Burka wearing Ninja cartoons are acceptable !!
@@Leo15730 It's GOOD that they are acceptable. It show's how far we have come.
this was normal into the 90´s possibly even 2000´s
One thing I can say is that the women were decently dressed.
They’re literally wearing mini skirts. If a modern woman wore these exact same outfits you would call her all sorts of names.
Wow beautiful
