17 vivid photos of what swinging London looked like in the 1960s

The 1960s became a turning point for prim and strict England, its image underwent dramatic changes. In the second half of this decade, the name of the country was hardly used in the cultural and social context without the adjective “swinger,” which meant a mood for everything new, leadership of the youth movement and revolution in fashion (for everything). It was a time when England was giving the world the lessons of the enduring lightness and joy of being, as well as inexhaustible optimism and heady hedonism. That is why a look at these photos is so interesting!
