Yesterday's London Times

London Emerges Swinging


Listen Later

London. The 1960s. The “Capital of Cool”.

London was indeed swinging. But how? Why?

Join us, as we inquire and explore:

       - how London emerged from war torn chaos,   soot,  deadly fog, and rations into a vibrant and vivacious style epicenter by the mid 1960s

       - the trends that dominated the era

       - how the baby boom and subsequent youth culture movement rocked British life at its core

1940s London was battered and bruised, but the city came back swinging in just under two decades. Come along with us as we look at the path that paved the way for such astonishing change.
