Quote from this book "London today is a city in motion. That is the real meaning of the expression 'it swings'. Carnaby Street and the King's Road are alive with zany guys and gorgeous dolls in clothes like nothing you've ever seen, talking their own kooky, kinky, gracefully elusive tongue. An endless crush of MGs and Bentleys and Simcas and red double-decker buses streams between the shiny glass skyscrapers that jostle St Paul's newly burnished dome. Daffodils shoot up in Hyde Park in the springtie; chrysanthemums burst from the window boxes at Mansion House Court in the fall. Discoheques sound off in the narrow alleys behind Piccadilly, while the Old Vic and the movie houses rock with the gutsy music of Cockney accents and iconoclastic North Country ideas. London today glitters with affluence. Its boutiques are crammed with raffish fashion. If you listen closely you can hear the thud of the auctioneer's hammer at Sotheby's sending the prices of eighteenth-century Chelsea porcelain to a record high. Hundreds of thousands of pounds spin with the roulette wheels at the Clermont Club and The Pair of Shoes. Londoners eat supremely well, and drink and dance and chance their luck until the early dawn. Once London was a muted town. Now you can tumble into the street in Soho in the Nordic morning light to find citizens still roistering and dreamy lovers wending their way home." opening paragraphs Secondhand booksellers |
