King's Road : The Rise and Fall of the Hippest Street in the World
The Kings Road - Book - by Max Decharne
(2023)
The
King's Road in Chelsea was at the epicentre of not one, but two
worldwide cultural shifts. In the mid-sixties, it became a focal point
and shop window for the new 'swinging' London, encompassing music,
theatre, the visual arts, fashion and much more. It remained at the
forefront of developing trends throughout the following decade until it
became the breeding-ground for UK punk rock, helping inspire youthful
rebellion the world over.
In
short, it was the place to be. In the time between the formation of the
Rolling Stones and the demise of the Sex Pistols, the King's Road had
the attention of the world. Just how this came to be is a classic
rise-and-fall story of satisfaction and sedition, featuring some of the
most famous people of the late twentieth century and many of the pivotal
moments of the fifties, sixties and seventies.
This
revised and expanded edition of King's Road covers the cultural history
of the King's Road, tracking many key figures who lived or spent time
there, from Henry VIII to David Bowie, Margaret Thatcher to Vivienne
Westwood, Karl Marx to The Beatles, and Mozart to Mary Quant.
