Yeah, I was 18 in 1967. My hair was long and my skirts were short. Music was in the air, London was intoxicating and we thought we could change the world.

Great video! makes you realise how nice Britain used to be. Not a mobile phone in sight, no security surveillance cameras everywhere, and on a social scale people were much happier. We had fantastic wide screen cinemas, with Saturday morning cinema for the kids, great fashion, plenty of jobs and a thriving export market. You never know how good it really was, until it's gone forever.
I was 19 in this year. And what a year it was! 'They' say "If you remember the 60's, you weren't really there." I don't subscribe to that in the slightest! I remember, like it was yesterday. The atmosphere in London at night was palpable. You just didn’t know what was going to happen, all good, well in my experience. The restaurants, clubs/ discos were fantastic. Not forgetting, the iconic music, fashion, and hairstyles. My era for sure. Thanks for uploading, great memories.
I turned 18 in June of '67. The Beatles had just released the Sgt Pepper album. London was indeed a swinging place, the most happening, hip city in the Western world at that time. I didn't get there until 1972 but I read about it in magazines such as Time that put swinging London on the cover. San Francisco, of course, was the epicenter of hippydom. Didn't get there either that year. But i did make it to Atlantic City and Cape Cod. Ah, to be 18 again in that magical time.
ahhh the old London 60s 70s and early 80s where you could drive down to central London without parking charges, ULEZ or Congestion Charge. An innocent old London. Before greed culture took over
In 1967,when I was 22 I was walking down Carnaby Street and an old man next to me said 'Look, there's old man Lennon'. When I looked, I saw John Lennon sitting in the passenger seat of a Lamborghini 6ft away from me. Ah.. the good old days right enough.. 🏴
In 1967 I worked in casper whyoming on a Buffalo Ranch....there were no dance clubs...no internet...and not many people....the people who worked the ranch were allmost allways too tired to go to the one nearest bar. Most settled for sleep after dinner.....but i'd rather be there than london.
@@theshamanarchist5441 Well, I came from a middle class American background, but man I wish I could've visited London back then! I was 13 in '67 and I had already acquired a fashion and musical taste.
Francesca I actually did that. I wanted my week in hands money to buy a striped blazer in about 1965/6 and still go up west for the weekend. New job Monday what times we had😎
Just look at London back then , still English, oh the beautiful mini skirted ladies , the colourful fashion, and the music , excuse me while I wallow in pure nostalgia.
It was still English, but that was the generation that were so keen to turn Britain into a multi-cultural society. Now OAPs in their seventies and eighties, they're moaning about the hell-hole they were responsible for letting successive governments create.
The image is so clear and I cannot believe this film was shot 55 years ago. Fashons in 1967 are really awesome, and women look so charming. At that time, I was a 11 years old Japanese primary school pupil in the countryside.
It was a wonderful time to be a teenager… no knives, no ‘social media’ trolls, no extortionate rent to pay etc, etc… and the greatest soundtrack you could ever wish to hear - happy days indeed! ❤

I was living in Kensington High St just around corner from Bus Stop, Bina etc still have Biba stuff, great to be young then, no mobiles, laptop, etc so money for clothes, and records,I was 23 now 80
That music is just fabulous and captures those wonderful times - in 1967 I was 18 years old and that was a wonderful time to be a young person. And all of those young people you are seeing are now in their 70's so youth is fleeting so enjoy it while you can. What were nuns doing on Carnaby St.?
I thought the same about the nuns, strange eh ! You are so right about age and youth. It was a wonderful time for us youngsters back them. Where did the time go indeed? I am now a retired middle aged person, who still can't believe my youth has gone. Now I want good health , not fun. But I still say to my lads to enjoy their youth while they still have it.
I live in the USA and I've been a Who fan since maybe 7 years old when I first saw them on the Smothers Brothers comedy hour maybe in 1968. When I see old film clips of them and their contemporaries (especially the B&W ones) - yes, you can measure it in years... hard to describe....but it's almost as if it was another DIMENSION...another life kind of. And I've never been to the UK. I'm not a professional drummer, never was. But you could say seeing Keith Moon for the first time changed me. To me, The UK is the musical "Holy Land". If there is a time and place I'd want to be transported to, it would be Swingin' London in the mid 60's, for sure.
I saw 'The Who' in Bournemouth / UK (August '69) - the day before the Isle of Wight festival, which was the British 'Woodstock'. They were 'loud' - to put it mildly. 🎸🎵😲👀
@@Edith-t4j Very few now, its never been easier as a non white in the UK now. But it was much more interesting and vibrant back in the 60s than now in London and the music was great.

I wasnt even alive back then i was born in 82 but damn i sure would love to go back to this decade to live and experience it - everyones just so laid back and chilled it seems - a stark contrast to what you get when you walk through London nowadays im sad to say .......
At least you got to experience the 80s and 90s.I was born in 99 wish I could time travel and experience 50s,60s,70s,80s etc to see what it was like.2000s was not that bad to grow up as a kid though tbh could of been worse I guess could of been born in 2010
I see lots of beautiful looking women today, depends what you would call beautiful, personally I've never found women from this period attractive in the face, they kinda looked "older" looking, whereas today women in their early 20s tend to look younger than they are (baby faced), same with men. What I don't like today is peoples dress sense, all this ripped jeans fashion. The other day I saw someone who had two gaping holes in their jeans where the knees wear, looked ridiculous. And then we have women with that dye their hair yellow and pink lol.

Brexit was a whitexit and it's showing that you do need those "pesky" Eastern Europeans (I happen to be a Western-European who doesn't have great memories of Eastern Europeans in London, but as a Europhile I believe it was due to a lack of Europeanism on their side and I see that changing with right-wing pan-Europeanism growing).

Those were the days. I am glad i lived through those days. It was an era that happened only once when life and culture was so different from today. Innocence lost. I am not a Londoner nor British. But the culture then was experienced throughout the world. The music the fashion and clothes - mini skirts turtle neck etc bell bottoms.agogo dancing. Gone were the days women wearing petticoats which have disappwared as a mandatory skirt accompaniment.
I can hear the opening bars of Quincy Jones as I watch this. Love the artwork too. Must have been so new and modern to the 60s generation. Records at 7/6 too!❤❤😂
I find this so fascinating even though its a few years before I was even born. Everyone looks so much more visually appealing, and so much more individual attention to their personal appearance. The general impression is the entire city is at a wedding. Today most people look so scroungy and the tattoos and facial jewelry is kinda orc-like, heh. I've often felt that society is in decline, its a very strange phenomenon and it appears to be worldwide. Even the buildings we live in, the cars we drive and the art we portray ourselves with, these are all getting simpler and uglier. Its very strange.

With my pocket money I bought 'Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band'.
Whoa how colorful London looked back then ....everyone so rebellious
The fashion back then 🤩😍
In the 60s many young people left school at age 15 or 16, because there were plenty of jobs. By 18 many were married.
Yes, I was there and it really was like that.
Now just have my memories......
oh lord god take me bak to then.....
God! Was that really me!!!! Can't believe it - just made me cry...
Are you in this film?
I grew up in the 60's wonderful times.
No social media, no mobile phones, no CCTV surveillance, no risk of phone camera up skirting perverts!! It must have been a far more free and relaxed atmosphere than it is now at the present time.
Then, it was Great Britain. Now, just Britain.
What went wrong?
Ask your mum?
Different days and different ways!.....Those were the days, now gone away. ☀️
When London was london
Well London definitely still is London . It's been in the same place on the map for almost 2 millenia , so no change there .
Shock horror. I just checked Google Maps and it's still London. The road signs also said London when I last drove there.
Take us back to the good old days of Jimmy Savile and Myra Hindley! True Britain!
@@southlondon86 and Gary Glitter, and the IRA
@@southlondon86 Because it would remind them that "Britain britains" invaded, colonised, enslaved and enforced their views in other countries? Karma is a bitch.
Wow wow so lovely and clean pure pure English I was born this year in March always wonder about swinging 60s what would it have been like live then. I’m a car man can just imagine brand-new E-type jaguars and Mercedes pagodas Aston Martn DB5 Austin Healey Ferraris AC MGBs Triumph TRs so many
They dressed like this in everyday life?!!??! Even now ppl just dress up for only occasions and instagram story. Back then they are so fashion forward. Dressing up to express rathan just show off on internet.😊
The year I was born!
Какая пёстрая суета!Но очень приятные лица.Энергичная,позитивная молодёжь.Хорошее время.Окунуться бы в эту атмосферу,что бы встряхнуться,почувствовать себя в тонусе😊!Спасибо .
Hard to believe that anyone over the age of 24 would be 80 today.
Why’s it hard to believe?
We are still here!!!
Any happiness on the streets now? And if not just why not and who has done it?
Cool time cool place. I arrived in ‘68 brilliant era. Worked at Y&R ad agency. Before heading to Ibiza to be a full time hippie.
Вспомнился "Clockwork orange" Кубрика..
(Я родился в 67. И таким представлял себе Лондон в детстве.)))

If only there was such a thing as a Time Machine. 🌚
Can someone pls hurry up and invent Time Travel, so I can live in London in 1967.
This was the real London i loved and all the shops so beautiful nice people .Every time i was in London my parents used to buy Dinky a Corgi Toys
Love the music, it really sets an optimistic and uplifting tone. The footage is great too, I have used it myself in a couple of music videos. Cheers.
If you have the links to these, please send them. Glad you enjoyed it.

Julie Christie was everywhere :)
I am told by relics of that age (who still walk the Earth) that it was a time of great optimism.
Ladies weari dresses and skirts, they looked so elegant and bright
I kept expecting Austin Powers to pop up in the crowd.
Yeah, me too baby!
So did I 😂.
How the hell did we cope without millions of immigrants? Amazing🤣
British empire. That said, I hate non-European migration more than anybody. Brexit was a whitexit and it's showing that you do need those "pesky" Eastern Europeans (I happen to be a Western-European who doesn't have great memories of Eastern Europeans in London, but as a Europhile I believe it was due to a lack of Europeanism on their side and I see that changing with right-wing pan-Europeanism growing).
I know right! Take us back to the good old days of Jimmy Savile and Myra Hindley. 😢
@@southlondon86 as opposed to the mass knife stabbings and killings, destroying statues, female genital mutilation, putting bags over women's heads, the terrorist attacks on innocent civilians, the sharia law courts and London looking more like Islamabad, yes lefty multicultural progress indeed.
@@garygroombridge8248 Sir it’s not me deleting your comments. I had my comments deleted so I had to write them twice.
@@southlondon86 no I said leftists who run UA-cam who won't allow vehement criticism of Islam and multiculturalism but allow constant criticism of western civilisation, like you do won't let me write the novel I could write on the evil of Islam.
When London was ‘fantastically’ English ❤️
Und was willst du jetzt machen?
Oohhh yeaaah baby!! Let's take the Shaguar.
Those were the days. I am glad i lived through those days. It was an era that happened only once when life and culture was so different from today. Innocence lost. I am not a Londoner nor British. But the culture then was experienced throughout the world. The music the fashion and clothes - mini skirts turtle neck etc bell bottoms.agogo dancing. Gone were the days women wearing petticoats which have disappwared as a mandatory skirt accompaniment.
“Oh behave baby!”
Yeah!
And that Mr Khan is a community 🇬🇧
What a loser! Trump 2024
We all looked much happier.
ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE
Nobody is overweight
So young and handsome. X
I can hear the opening bars of Quincy Jones as I watch this. Love the artwork too. Must have been so new and modern to the 60s generation. Records at 7/6 too!❤❤😂
I find this so fascinating even though its a few years before I was even born. Everyone looks so much more visually appealing, and so much more individual attention to their personal appearance. The general impression is the entire city is at a wedding. Today most people look so scroungy and the tattoos and facial jewelry is kinda orc-like, heh.
I've often felt that society is in decline, its a very strange phenomenon and it appears to be worldwide.
Even the buildings we live in, the cars we drive and the art we portray ourselves with, these are all getting simpler and uglier. Its very strange.
