Carnaby Street London

Get groovy baby! Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 February

Hard as it may be to believe, this year marks the 50th anniversary of London's swinging Carnaby Street, beginning with an exhibition of iconic photographs and interviews celebrating its heyday in the 1960s. On display is a 3D timeline, which charts the history of the land beginning 500 years ago when it was a green field site with a well and a scarecrow. Also planned for later in the year is a live music weekend in June and a unique fashion show in September. Free.
