In the heart of London's West End, famous Carnaby Street is one of the top shopping and leisure address in the city. More than 150 shops and 50 restaurants, pubs, and bars offer an abundance of choices to spend your time. From chic stores to alternative options with a more independent appeal - there's something around for every taste.
This neighborhood also offers some kind of Rock 'n' Roll history:
it was in the early 60s when numerous fashion stores supporting the Hippie movement were opened in Carnaby Street. Night clubs, live music venues, and bars followed soon, with stages hosting renowned Rock bands such as The Rolling Stones or The Who. Unfortunately, none of the premises have survived.
An iconic place is the Rolling Stones flagship shop RS No. 9 Carnaby.
