A Visit to Swinging London in 1968
From Flickr user Arbyreed comes these wonderful photographs that captures the everyday life and style of “Swinging London” in the late 1960s.
From Carnaby Street, to Picadilly Circus to a stylish Heathrow airport. Arbyreed explains:
I lived in Oxford, England in the late 1960s and this collection contains some of the sights I took time to photograph. I wish I had taken more and more that reflected the culture of the time.
Who would like to go back in time and live in or visit this wonderful era? Hands up.
