Carnaby Street is without a doubt one of the most fashionable shopping streets in the capital and one of the best-known places to be seen in London. The street came to fame in the 1960s when many young clothes designers descended on the area, making the street one of the hubs of the swinging sixties music and fashion scene. The tradition of clothes shops and designers has continued to today, making Carnaby Street a vibrant and fun place to shop, eat and be entertained.
