    Great video! makes you realise how nice Britain used to be. Not a mobile phone in sight, no security surveillance cameras everywhere, and on a social scale people were much happier. We had fantastic wide screen cinemas, with Saturday morning cinema for the kids, great fashion, plenty of jobs and a thriving export market. You never know how good it really was, until it's gone forever.

    I remember, like it was yesterday. The atmosphere in London at night was palpable. You just didn’t know what was going to happen, all good, well in my experience. The restaurants, clubs/ discos were fantastic. Not forgetting, the iconic music, fashion, and hairstyles. My era for sure. Thanks for uploading, great memories.

    I live in the USA and I've been a Who fan since maybe 7 years old when I first saw them on the Smothers Brothers comedy hour maybe in 1968. When I see old film clips of them and their contemporaries (especially the B&W ones) - yes, you can measure it in years... hard to describe....but it's almost as if it was another DIMENSION...another life kind of. And I've never been to the UK. I'm not a professional drummer, never was. But you could say seeing Keith Moon for the first time changed me. To me, The UK is the musical "Holy Land". If there is a time and place I'd want to be transported to, it would be Swingin' London in the mid 60's, for sure.

      I see lots of beautiful looking women today, depends what you would call beautiful, personally I've never found women from this period attractive in the face, they kinda looked "older" looking, whereas today women in their early 20s tend to look younger than they are (baby faced), same with men. What I don't like today is peoples dress sense, all this ripped jeans fashion. The other day I saw someone who had two gaping holes in their jeans where the knees wear, looked ridiculous. And then we have women with that dye their hair yellow and pink lol.

      Yeah I have heard about the Bold St timeslips. There was one account of someone who had gone back to May 1968. Apparently he was a shoplifter and had been chased by security, he then ran down an entry with a deadend and then realised that noone had caught up with him. When he walked out of the entry/alleyway he noticed the street had changed with old cars and people dressed differently. He noticed a newspaper stand and walked up to it and noticed on a newspaper which had May 1968 on it.

    A time when crime in London was almost non-existent. 54 years later, stabbings are almost a daily occurrence, muggings, violent assault, rape, people trafficking, and murder are now a part of daily life in London. Immigration can be a good thing, but not the wrong sort of immigration. There's absolutely nothing wrong with educated and skilled immigrants without criminals convictions, however, what we got was the complete opposite of the aforementioned requirements.

      It doesn't matter if it was exclusive to Carnaby and a few other spots. During this time, London set the trends and was the epicenter of fashion. When Bob Dylan came, he left wholly transformed, wearing pin-stripped pants and polka-dot shirts, abandoning his Beatnik, faux-Woody Guthrie look. Additionally, Jimi Hendrix got his iconic look after coming to London, as well.
