Vivienne Westwoods shop is called WORLDS END, not Sex.

I had the greatest walk with you, although I can't walk...you carried me, with your love and enthusiasm for what you do, and where you are basically from. I thank you so very much and I shall join you again!💗⚘

Me husband and myself love walking down the Kings rd. looking at the shops and the nice cars. We always end up in Fulham where my grandparent’s lived. And I did when I was a baby. Vivienne Westwood designed stage cloths for Queen.

My friend and I visited the Saatchi Gallery last year for the Bob Marley 'One Love' Experience (it was great!) We had lunch in some posh place, spent 3 hours in the gallery, then ventured back out looking for more food! Peter Jones were charging £9 for a sandwich, so we went on our way hoping to find a chip shop, haha! No luck, we headed home and got our chips there! Just a tale of two old SW London girls who love reggae. Loved your tour by the way!

@@FreeToursbyFootLondon just lucky I guess being in the right place at the right time no one knew the pistols and punk in general would take off it wasn't meant to be a fashion or even a genre as such it was bored kids saying this our time now to hell with everything let's just bloody well enjoy it as best we can

I grew up on the Kings Rd, in World’s End close to Vivienne Westwood etc………was interested to note that the commentator was completely oblivious to the fact that on the same corner is the Moravian Close once part of Sir Thomas Moore’s estate and now a 500yr old garden/cemetery. My parents had a studio in there with the glazed ceiling framed by 500yr old ship timbers. My folks now sadly departed lived in Chelsea all their lives and long before the money arrived and ruined everything. They were known locally as ‘the last of the bohemians ……’ Happy days.
