London: The Swinging City

During the week of April 15, 1966 Time Magazinze featured the hip, happening city of London.
The 12-page spread captured the mood and feel for the city.

One paragraph begins:

which is crammed with a cluster of the “gear” boutiques where the girls and boys buy each other clothing.
