You still have a chance to catch some of the great 60s events, just check the website for detailed information on what is going on.

I think it is safe to say that the differences between the swinging 60s and its preceding decades are some of the strongest and most obvious in history, here are just a few facts I found pretty interesting...
- The 'Pill' becomes available on the NHS with a massive social impact, it set off a sexual revolution and helped change women's position in society.
- The Parliament authorizes a second BBC channel, and the development of colour television.
- Terence Conran opened the first Habitat store which introduced affordable furniture and household design.
- The first miniskirts were sold in Mary Quant's boutique 'Bazaar' in London. These were very liberating yet affordable which soon gave them a 'must have' status among women in the Western world.
Why not pay Alfies a visit to search for your very own favourites to add some swinging 60s touches to your life? Be it kitchenware, iconic design objects, original furniture, records, or delightful vintage clothes - Alfies has it all under one roof!
We also recommend a little break from shopping in Alfies' fantastic Rooftop Restaurant, and why not try a head turning hair-do courtesy of Nina's Vintage Hair Parlour?!
