The King's Road Music and Fashion Trail is a series of five
downloadable film clips celebrating the historical and cultural
significance of key locations in the King's Road - one of the most
famous thoroughfares in the world where successive waves of
stylistic and musical revolutions have been created over the
decades.
Appealing to pop culture fans and casual visitors alike, the
trail centres on three-minute filmed documentaries presenting the
histories of buildings which once housed such iconic stores as the
world's first boutique - Mary Quant's shop Bazaar -Granny Takes A
Trip, whose customers included The Beatles, The Rolling Stones,
Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, and Johnson's The Modern Outfitters,
which was frequented by Madness, George Michael and The Clash.
The films are packed with archive and contemporary footage,
stills and interviews and are accessed by QR codes on maps
distributed to the hundreds of thousands of visitors who pay homage
to the King's Road every year.
