Welcome to Sixties London, the most swinging city on Earth! Gathered here were some of the greatest performers in the history of pop music: the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who, Dusty Springfield, and over from America, Jimi Hendrix, Paul Simon and the Walker Brothers. London's music scene reached a peak of inventiveness, diversity and sheer excitement that has never been matched.

And there was much, much more to it than the stereotypes of Swinging London, from the R&B all-nighters at the Flamingo Club to the LSD-infused spectacles at UFO.
