Carnaby Street
Sixties fashion mecca
Carnaby Street is a pedestrian shopping street in London's Soho district, famous as the epicenter of 1960s youth fashion and the "Swinging London" scene.
The name evokes mod style, miniskirts, and British pop culture of that era.
It remains a fashion and tourist destination, though its countercultural edge has long since faded into commercial nostalgia.
