Punks, Part 1 

I’m wearing a BOY T-shirt tonight. Loved the Boy shop when I was 16, I’m 55 now 😂

Whenever I watch docs about London Punks I feel like I miss something I never had;

Those Punks posing for photo's were actual Punks. They squatted all over the city and met up at the weekend on Kings road where we posed for the tourists for beer and gig money. Also quite a few of the pubs in Kings Road served us regularly.

Posted 7 years ago and I never found it here in the youtube, just found it now. That's actually good I love the contrasts between different zeitgeists! Congrats! 💫✨✨💫💫❤❤❤❤

I spent some of my youth growing up in Kew too - awesome place! Main thing I notice from this vid? How boring Kings Road is today! As I mention in my youtube tour of the former punk clubs of London - that McDonalds used to be a legendary club called The Chelsea Drug Store - immortalised in the Stones' Can't Always get What You Want.....London now? Shit Sandwich....

Next to the chelsea potter was a market in a shop called 'The great gear market' and in the middle of the market was a coffee/tea bar and all the stalls were around the central cafe/bar...further down towards Sloane Sq end was a cowboy boot shop and that has also gone...Robot shoe shop was down near where saditionaries were opposite what used to be a petrol station which is now a food market...Robot sold very fashionable winkle picker doctor martin sole shoes which also took some designs from creepers that used to be worn by teddy boys..Teddy boys didn't like the fact that many punks wore the same clothes...There were many record shops which were before our price,HMV,Some had there own names..Virgin Records were not that big then and this was also before 'Tower records'.We used to hang out in the kings road and some shops were second hand clothes shops and second hand record shops...brian eno's record company was also down kings road because i took a demo there in the 80's...All of the old haunts of that era have gone..intrepid fox, the marquee,the clarendon,the venue, the rock garden...

70s were really tough times, lots of violence and London was pretty grimey! Punk was exciting and thrilling. In the early days of it was very DIY. People were so frightened of us!! I've only got a few pix from that time, not everyone had cameras then! Plus the old trusty photo booth pix!! Loved going to the Roxy, Vortex, Marquee and late night Speakeasy club. Despite hard times, low paid jobs and even worse, dreadful freezing cold bedsits the Music was fantastic and original!

Nice little piece. I was around... hanging outside The Boy.

Punk from 77 to 82, if i could go back,to get away from this woke orwellian society .i would in a heartbeat.debs xx i remember watching antz in vortex,and this big geezer was next to me,i looked up as i am tiny and it was arnold swarzenegger.😀

Hard to believe its nostalgia now, lots of good shops still in the late 80s.Superb second hand charity shop where that carphone fucking warehouse is, manned by very interesting people instead of spotty KPi villains in cheap suits. .

My mum used to tell me I looked like a clown.

I miss London too much really.

Brentford Market for all the bootlegs on a Sunday morning ....

I was a 80’s convert, due to my age. I hated to uniform.

chelsea potter & man in the moon

Has a similar documentary been done interviewing Mod's from say the 80's and possibly the 60's..?

if I had a chance to go to London I will surely visit these places.

Naah . Most of us bought our shoes in Robots

When you think you've seen ever punk documentary on RU-vid

Nostalgia is always exciting

Do Sloane Rangers still exist?

Does anyone actually remember these days of Brilliance ? I do ! One love Pete The murderer

Sorry the comment underneath was meant to be me. I was watching on another account

In die periode bezocht ik London voor de 3e keer en zag voor het eerst punk mode.

King's Road oké, maar de Kammenstraat is dat ook.

In a museum? Im confused You put punk in a museum?

You can still do it in your 40s though.

Punks not dead

they look like puffs not punks

not punks just posers.
